I ain't about t'deny he's prickly as hell when he first meets people. He grew up expectin' t'get murdered on a daily basis, right from when he was a kid, that kinda colours yer interactions with strangers somethin' fierce. He don't trust easy.

Hell, he hated me when we first met! [Kinji, don't... don't sound so pleased about the fact.] He just takes some gettin' used to. Y'all don't have to if'n y'don't wanna, a' course, just somethin' t'bear in mind that this is him makin' a real effort t'play nice with people.
