"Let's leave soon then." he echoed, a grin breaking through the earlier uncertainties. "And you can show me all those 'things' you mentioned. I've always wanted a hands-on approach to training. Who knows? I might even surprise you."
With newfound resolve, he added, "I won't just be keeping up, I'll be right there beside you, ready for whatever adventure awaits." The weight of his nervousness had lessened, transformed by the potential of what lay ahead.
