[anyway, about that question...Wu shifts a bit, uncomfortably, folding his arms over his chest, quiet for a moment (he's been doing that a lot, lately,) before he speaks again]
When we first met, you said said something about looking ahead.
[Wu's brow is furrowed, not really looking at Zenos but rather off to the side. And he's thinking about Stella. Stella who is so strong, so very strong, but also there are parts of her that are soft and fragile. Even so, she's made it clear that he's under her protection. That she's the one someone will answer to if anything happens to him. Wu knows he's not a fighter in any way; he's thin and wiry and has very little muscle to speak of, much less the courage that that sort of thing requires. But...he wants to be able to be there for Stella, too. To be able to protect her in the ways that she needs protecting. Especially after hearing about her mother, well...he doesn't know what he can do about that, really, but that's why he's here.
He finally turns his attention to Zenos fully, looking up at him]
How do I do that? How do I prepare for what's ahead?
