Yes. It comes with the territory. [Takame couldn't count on one hand how many times he was tasked with escorting or otherwise protecting someone since becoming an adventurer. It only made sense then that they would be recruited for this.]
Me? H-How do I...? [Well if how he fumbled at first was any indication, he didn't have a response to give. In truth, he didn't feel any way at all about their circumstances. He was given a task, given an incentive, and he would follow through with it as commanded. There was no need to feel any way. But he couldn't admit that, it never gained a positive response when he did to an ally. But an answer was expected of him, he couldn't give nothing.
He's silent for a moment, lost in thought. Trying to figure out what the proper thing to say was. What would they say? It takes him longer that it should, but eventually after a while of staring into nothing he finds a response.]
There must more to our task than we were told. I would... learn what that is before coming to a verdict. [An excuse.] ... But this realm needs help. It's only right to help those who need it. If we've got the power to do something, we should. [A noble statement, or it would be if he weren't regurgitating his last family member's motto word for word. There was no weight to them, but with how rarely his tone ever changed few notice how often he just spouted air. He'll divert attention from himself instead of testing that, though.] What do you make of this, then?
