[That's... well... He thinks it over for a moment.]
Mmm, I don't know. 'Warrior' sounds too intense, or like it is something I've been doing most my life. It's... a bit more complicated than that. [he smiles a bit awkwardly] You see, I'm a flute player. And, for a while, that's all I was. But then I sort of got, uh, 'enlisted' to help save the world, and that's how I learned to fight. I didn't think I was very good at it, or even important enough to join, especially compared to the others. But then I became the only one that could destroy these chains that ensnared the moon. After that, I finally started to feel like I was useful.
[Actually, had he never been enlisted, which is just a nicer way of saying he was dragged into doing this by someone, he probably would have remained a cowardly flute player. Or, at least, that's all he would be.]
So, maybe just something simple. Like a fighter? I think that would do.
[Even if everyone called him a hero, that sounds too big for him. He's proud of what he accomplished with everyone, and he would do it all over again-- that is why he's here, accepting the Storyteller's request. The entire reason why he kept fighting was to save people, and so that people like him wouldn't have to suffer anymore, or die needlessly. And that job is still far from over.]
