[ he looks back at him at the "overly" confident bit. he just nods? like yes? can i help you? did you need anything additional? a definition? the word used in a sentence?

[ whether it's this world, or in linkon city, it's difficult for him to walk away from an actual challenge. besides, if they were going to be traveling together (before he can potentially give him the slip), the last thing he'd want is to come across as a coward.
