[ Wolfwood justified... the one game where I play a character who's very anti-strip... we are ALL anti-strip...
Will it matter if Haru has the energy to use it, but doesn't know how? Well, Wolfwood isn't the psych expert. ]
Yeah, 'course. We can't rely on temporary powers forever, 'cause you don't know when it'll suddenly go away without warning. That's why we can't get too reliant on the healing stuff either. The day it disappears and we're used to cutting and stabbing ourselves for tests [ this is a read on trial ] is the day we run into big trouble.
he frowns, like he's clearly about to defend gerard for accidentally stabbing himself in the leg, because that's his teammate, but the question distracts him. ]
...I guess. [ yes ] I don't want my team to have to protect me, either.
Why fight for anything else? [ it's all about survival for him and his own. ]
[ He thinks it's commendable enough to want to protect someone else -- to have something to protect at all. It's better than the selfish lot who want to know so they can harm.
Also some fish definitely have bloodlust, has Haru ever seen a betta? ]
I'd be shocked if it awakened something like that in you.
That depends on your style. You think you have good hand-eye coordination?
Being a sports guy, I'm sure you've got muscles, but swingin' around a huge sword takes a different kind of strength.
[ One that he's not sure Haru's cool lean swimmer muscles will be able to handle appropriately. Terminator vision, just full assessment of his twunk body. ]

You're thinking about how to protect others, huh?

He's looking down at Haru, clearly assessing him... but after a moment, he scoffs a bit, glancing away. ]
Why else, hm. You got more guts than I first took you for.
Fine, I can show you how to defend yourself -- and someone else if it comes down to it.

he's a little surprised that wolfwood would agree so readily, but obviously, he can't complain.
maybe his first impression was a little off, too. ]
...Thanks. [ he points to the shadowy gladiators below ] Don't expect me to be like that, though.
[ he doesn't have any bloodlust, he's just a fish ]

he watches a lion bat a gladiator's weapon away with one huge paw. ]
Good. [ ... ] Is it easier to use—something like that. Or... that.
