Hm. I've thought about it. [He takes another drink to try and think of how to continue.]

I don't think it's right for these people to suffer. But this is different. It's not the Ishvalan War; I didn't choose to come here. Sure, I'd love to protect these people, but I don't know them.

[He shrugs. It probably seems callous of him to think like that, but it is the truth. Here, he does not feel the need to protect anything since none of it is anything he knows.]
