"i'm sorry that you were assigned to patrol with someone of my low ranking, but i promise that i will not interfere or get in your way. please let me know how i can be of service to you." having already started on his way out of the monastery, he screeched to a halt and swiveled around on his heel to face her once again - awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck.
