[Sort of. Min's taking advantage of ambidexterity because it's embarrassing to be bad at things. His handwriting is notably different from his usual and probably isn't immediately recognizable to anyone who isn't Ryan.]

What do people do if they can't protect themselves here? I don't want to be stuck inside all the time, but I don't want to have to rely on other people either.

Before anyone says it, I'm not looking to learn how to fight. With all the weirdness in this place there's got to be some other way.

[The idea of him learning to fight with a sword would be laughable if it wasn't so terrifying. He has zero intention of taking him up on that, but it's also easier not to say as much directly. Especially since he may still need him to help with whatever he does decide on. And probably first aid. That would be smart.]

I'll let you know. I don't have a sword so I guess that's out for now, but it would probably be a good idea to learn more first aid.

Thanks for all the advice. I was beginning to think asking here was a bad idea, but you've given me a lot I can at least use as a place to start.

A practice blade can always be obtained, should you decide that's what you want to pursue. But you are very welcome. I hope that I have eased your mind even just a little.

My name is Joshua. I help out at the clinic, so if you need anything, you can find me there most days.

You have. I know I'll still have to work at it, but I feel a lot better about my chances of finding something I can do now.

I'll come and find you when I've had time to make some decisions. Thank you for all your help.

[He refrains from an introduction himself. Even if people start figuring out it's him once he does figure out a good form of defensive magic he can try he wants to keep his privacy for now.]
