Not much of a fighter, myself. If I have to throw down, I can, but I'm more geared towards the work bench than the battlefield. Grenades and explosives are how I do battle. Preferably at a great distance.

[He gives her an impish grin.]

Not that I don't appreciate the offer. I'm just thinking that if they can fight, they'll probably be a great help if they bring the fight to us. If you're willing to get involved. Again, not everyone is.
