His smile is genuine and the light in his eyes almost patronizing again as he laces his fingers just beneath his belt buckle. "We are men of minds, good sir, but we are Soldiers first and foremost. Violence is in our blood.
"It would not be beneath me to take a life, nor a lesser man to take mine," his smile falls somewhat, but his expression remains genial. "Do not forget this."
