"De," Bill put in, reaching out to squeeze the nape of De's neck reassuringly, "it'll be fine. It'll be an adventure! Promise!"
He debated whether it would be a better idea to tell De that he had no experience fighting with any kind of weapon, himself, and was therefore in the same boat; or to point out that he had won many, many a fight on the streets of his hometown as a boy, and could therefore defend De against (hopefully) anything.
In the end, he just repeated, "It'll be fine. Look, we're all actors! We'll just pretend it's acting, right?"
