[Her reaction makes him laugh again, he supposes that it shouldn't be a surprise to see her be a little blindsided by a tale that seems to be the antithesis of who he is now. Sometimes, not even he can believe it- but it's all true. His hand goes up behind his head, almost bashfully at how she puts it- when did he get brave, anyway?]

I don't know, to be honest. I guess when you live in a frozen place like Snezhnaya, you grow up pretty fast. There's all sorts of hidden dangers lurking beneath the snow, and even more unseen dangers that seek to take your life.

[He takes a second to hope that his family was well back at home, spending time together in front of the fire place or eating a nice meal at the table. He misses it, but duty calls.]

I don't know how it is in Inazuma, but I can say that things seem a lot safer here in Fontaine. It's actually kind of nice, the only things you need to be careful about is ending up in the wrong side of town at night. Sorry...

[He apologizes, exhaling heavily at himself.]

I didn't mean to talk about myself so much like that.
