Because why? Because he's being taught by people with balls? Maybe. Because he's a fine young man who listens to his elders? Definitely not. Because he's learning to fight with discipline instead of fighting dirty for survival? ...yeah, that last one sounds right.

His expression shifts into something more serious. "Okay," he says. "I think I get it now."
