By all accounts, you know what to do.

I am not a coward.

I'm many things but not that, I will never be called that. I live risking my life, every hour of every day. I breathe risk. I fight monsters for a living. I let the stick of wood linked to my life burn away in front of my eyes to free death itself.

I am the son of the mother and the son of my father both and neither of them had a coward for a son. You can decide not to train me for a lot of reasons but not that one.

[That merits a smile.]

I said you could be. For all I know. Not that you are. But that's a start, true enough. You find that fire for the rest of all your lessons, and perhaps we'll make something out of you yet, you and I.

[Sadly the fire soon goes away, and what's left is Frank giving him a sheepish smile. He's so used to holding back it's kind of an habit by now.]

I'll do my best, I really will.

Then I'll see you in a few days' time. You may not see me, but I'll be there.

I- thank you. Really. I appreciate it.

See you, then. [A pause.] ...Or not.
