[the question surprises him a little bit - but he shakes his head]

... no, not really. Even if sometimes, it hurts - when you're used to cut down someone you don't want to. When you don't agree with the way a battle goes, but you don't have hands or a mouth to argue.

[his voice gets a little faraway when he says it, as though caught in a memory]

But even when I've had to cut down someone I like... I've never loved humans any less.
