[That was then, that was there. Certainly he could show restraint when left to his own devices rather than working under someone else's control. But, then, well. Perhaps he isn't so certain of that ability.
[And, then again, this short conversation alone has been one of the most stimulating he's encountered here. Perhaps its his confidence in his own abilities that drives him to continue speaking with her - maybe its his confidence in the reckless foolishness of others that makes him pity the idea of others leading her (perhaps fatally) astray.
[But, at the end of the day, he has to remind himself that he doesn't care what happens to this woman one way or another. So why should he care at all whether or not she's well-trained?
[Even so:]
I am happy to continue offering my advice should you find it useful to your training.
