Make no mistake, our goals [yes, they're "our" goals now] will be difficult to achieve, but you won't only have your own skills and what you received from her to rely on. You'll be given proper training, equipment, whatever you may need.

[He smiles a little bit again.]

But in return, you'll have a place in the world we build together. A good one. For both you... and your companion.
