[This is probably the point where a more pragmatic individual would calmly explain that a promise like that is really out of the question - that CERES is unpredictable and danger is just a part of life here. That any seemingly benign situation could turn into a deadly one in the blink of an eye. Sure, they're stuck in an awful situation right now, but the potential for it to go from irritating to devastating in the blink of an eye is always there and that's just the way things are in the city.

But Kashuu, while pragmatic in some respects, is (sometimes unfortunately) not the sort to give that sort of response to a statement like that. What kind of sword would he be if he couldn't promise protection?]

Of course we will. It's my job to make sure people are safe, y'know? [A beat, and then:] Besides! If you came from worse and you made it outta that, you'll make it out of this mess, too.
