[Cain winces at the tightening grip--honestly, if she didn't outrank him, he'd reconsider his feelings on physically assaulting the fairer sex. It's so very juvenile...that it turns back around and becomes endearing.
By God, he's going to give Riff a very stern talking-to for leaving him alone with this woman if--when he turns up.]
Sir, in all seriousness, I'm of much less use to you if I'm injured. I am functionally ambidextrous, but two hands are better than one, and four are certainly better than three, particularly when one is attempting to navigate the wilderness. I'm a good shot, but better with my right hand than my left. I'm not large in stature, either, but I am quite fast when the situation requires it, and you needn't worry about me keeping up.
