Well, if we're being truthful, it was me first. He wanted to give me ways to defend myself since - [He gestures down to himself.] - I am not suited for it.

And I can change into a bear. Which - is actually quite a better deterrent than I anticipated. But that's not his magic.

[He goes quiet a moment.]

I shot him once. During a - flood. Some magical mixups. I hadn't held a real gun since the War and I don't ever want to again. So he helped me ensure that I could defend myself and my friends without having to harm another person.
