He acts maybe a little reckless when it comes to himself, though he's only ever had a knife shoved up his nose--but he thinks he might lose his mind if anyone tried to hurt her in any way, shape, or form.

He holds her closer to him, like she might slip away if he doesn't. "I don't know what the odds of that would be here. I think I'm actually pretty lucky that I wasn't dismembered and sold for parts the last time I was in the Bone Slums, but I did get carsmashed once I got here so maybe my luck is running out."
