"I don't think you're explaining it badly, I'm just thinking it's uber-complicated and a little strange, and I don't have to know all the details, I guess." He grins, and shrugs a shoulder.

"Yeah, I guess...I'm really not much of a fighter...but I guess it's useful to know in case something else were to happen."

He sighs a little and runs his hand back through his hair. "That's another thing that's kind of complicated...see, my mom was a nurse, I started off in pre-med, when everything suddenly went down, I lost my mom...lost basically everything, couldn't afford college anymore, had gotten kicked out anyway while I was gone for not showing up to class...with an EMT-basic certificate, I can at least help people." And, just because he really does think of Leo as a friend, he adds (a little grudgingly, because talking about feelings is not his favorite pastime in the world) "and...feel a little closer to my mom, too."
