"Self defense?" The question seems to catch him by surprise. "Uh, I did karate for a while. A year, year and a half maybe, but that was about 5 or 6 years ago now." he replies. "I don't know if that counts as much."<br/><br/>He kept quiet until they had left the hotel, darting glances around him at some people. The looks he received in return tend towards either sympathy or disdain, causing his shoulders to hunch defensively til they were outside again. "As if my reputation wasn't bad enough already." he muttered.<br/><br/>"Is this really a good idea now?" he asked. "I mean, I don't even know what I'm supposed to do." He gave a sigh. "I think I'm going to need a drink after this, one way or another."
