[huaaaaagh]

It's okay, don't push yourself. There's no reason to rush.

[experiencepoints]

[She nods.]

... Still... I'm sorry.

[huaaaaagh]

Mm... don't worry about it. Does this help, though?

[She's calming down, at least, but he doesn't want to end up making it worse somehow.]

[experiencepoints]

[She just nods.]

It does. It's... most frightening alone, and when it's cold.

[huaaaaagh]

Yeah, I guess that's kind of a downside of being underwater. Want my coat?

[Even if it's only temporary, it surely can't hurt. It's got a fluffy fur collar and everything.]

[experiencepoints]

Is that okay? The black coat look is kind of like your thing, isn't it?

[huaaaaagh]

I figure you won't need it forever... anyway, I don't think anybody would call me the Black Swordsman here. Except maybe Asuna, to make fun of me.

[He didn't ask for the title, he just thought it would make him look unassuming.]

[experiencepoints]

[..... okay, she has to laugh.]

"The Black Swordsman"? Really?

[huaaaaagh]

[He shouldn't have said that. He should noooot have said that.]

L-listen... I didn't come up with it.

[experiencepoints]

[listen

you're helping her so she's not going to give you too much shit okay]

Who did, then?

[huaaaaagh]

[NOT YET ANYWAY....]

I don't know, just... people. I wore a lot of black so I wouldn't stand out and it just became a thing.

[He says, like he doesn't still wear black all the time.]

[experiencepoints]

... So, you wore black so you wouldn't stand out, and then wearing black became standing out.

[huaaaaagh]

That's... pretty much how it went, yeah.
