She seems like a kind young lady, yes. [ Kim nods. She does. Not that he could get a handle on her one way or the other -- more to the point, she was polite, and it's hard to get to know someone in that way. Kim ought to know. He does the exact same thing. He listens to the rest of Kamui's story with some sympathy, though, wincing at his recollection of events. ]
Ah, one of those. Yes, the same thing happened to me the day of my arrival. It comes of looking too obviously new, I think -- people knew that we would be easy pickings in our cluelessness. It's how I realized Harry was here too, in fact. [ Wryly: ] I did have things under control, but he interrupted the whole affair by just bodyslamming the man. It's no wonder he took to sumo so well.
[ Kim wishes he could stop a conflict by bodyslamming into it. He's not a small man by any means, but he's slim, lithe; he would be prone to simply bounce off. ]
How many of them were there? Your assailants?
[ It's curiosity. Both as to the circumstances that Kamui found himself in, but also to get a gauge as to how good he really is at fighting. Kim has fought in enough one-on-one scenarios to know that fighting is quite unlike the movies; even going up against a single foe is a tiring, difficult affair. More than one means that Kamui has been underselling his capabilities by quite a bit. ]
