[Zoro can see the facade go up. Figures he'd fail at this sort of thing. What did he expect? He had long since given up mulling over the past and thinking about anything other than moving forward. Even his relationship with his memories was a different beast entirely and certainly not one he'd ever share with this kid.]
Man... You picked a bad person to talk about this stuff with. I can't relate to much of it. Not sure how that makes me some good guy either. [It's more of an obligation, right? How else is he supposed to handle a kid breaking down in front of him. Sighing, he stands up and rubs at his neck.]
Listen. Just get some rest for now. I'll keep my promise. We'll start training when you're well enough to take the risks. [Which shouldn't be long, he figures. Taking his phone out of his pocket, he glances at the time.] I gotta get going. Try not to fall off anything for the next few days.
[A short wave and then he starts to walk away. He's nearly out of earshot when he stops and looks back.]
Hey. That boring stuff... I started off there too. [Maybe he's still there. He doesn't know. Again, it's not a major concern.] It isn't such a bad place to start building from.
[And with another short wave he turns back around and leaves.]
