It's never been about the defensive ability for him, that's for sure... It's just always been what he's been able to sling around. Nothing more, nothing less.

Kanji looks thoughtful for a moment, and nods. "Yeah, sure. If you've got anythin', I'll listen." He gets the feeling that Aeleus knows what he's talking about (seriously, he's got to be bigger than half of the guys in armour - definitely a good sign here)... so it's worth a shot, at the very least.
