Sorry about that, she likes to fight. [Ryou smiles awkwardly before continuing.] But you're new here, then? I'm still a bit new too, but I guess so many new people means the locals and the people who have been here longer are more willing to help someone in need.

[It's weird, but certainly a good thing so many people are willing to help.]
