He doesn't, just rests his palms on the table ad shakes his head. ) I'm-- v-very sorry. I d-don't think you're a f-fool, or-- ( a slow exhale, and he sounds calmer. Be steady. Atlas is steady.) At home, p-people who um, call themselves superheroes-- it's about status. Like, um-- I d-dunno. If knights w-were just focused on b-being a knight, and n-not-- not p-protecting.
