We've already discussed that your power has limitations to it and there may come a time when you need to rely on those around you to support and help you.
Yuma, I want to be someone you can rely on in a situation like that. I want to be able to have the ability to protect you, like you protect me.

But I also think it would be a good idea to learn how to protect myself too.
Desperado targeted me last year because I was close to you and they thought holding me hostage would make you do what they wanted.
Chances are, they'll be others who'll think the same and might target those close to you as well.

Dueling would be a way for me to help us both stay safe, right?
