"Oh come on," he murmurs, waving at Kimi. "I'll be fine. I've gotten pretty good at dodging punches, I'll tell you." In fact, he's quietly been taking some hand-to-hand classes on the side without telling anyone. Because he isn't going to quit his job and it's starting to look like he needs to know how to handle himself in a fight.
