He thinks about how to word what's on his mind letting out a nervous sigh and a small laugh under his breath. "I guess I'm just questioning if I'm up for this kind of work. I don't feel very good about my contributions and after what happened at the hospital," he wasn't sure if she had heard. "I'm pretty shooken up."

Like blazing. A bunch of agents were around so we decided to help out." He takes another sip as he recalls the events for herm "The fire itself wasn't too bad, but when we got to the top floor and found the source, things got a little more...'heated'." He couldn't help himself. "A lot of burnt corpses and horrible smells."

I mean I don't think there was feasibly anything I or anyone could've done to save them. It's just the look of them was overwhelming. Seeing death is more than I expected, I guess? Especially so much."

So you're saying you're not sure you're cut for this sort of work because the sight of death is harder to witness than you perhaps thought?" She's just trying to find the connection between what he said and what happened.

"It was really messed up, Doc. I've never seen anything like that, and being in a position where I can die at the same time? I can't get it out of my head." And that was a rare 'treat' for him.

And probably good for you." Absinthe says gently. "People are meant to feel that way, and in some ways, if you're still feeling it, you're more likely to focus on helping others. Or being careful so you don't get hurt." She tries not to frown. "On the other, with your power, I can understand that it's difficult to get past it. It can take a long time for normal memories, but one like yours..." She wasn't immediately sure how to help with that.

Absinthe shakes her head. "When there's a will there's a way, of course. I just want to know what your goal is. Do you want to continue doing this? If so, we'll figure something out. If you decide however that you really aren't cut out for this, then all I can offer is trying to figure out how to help you with what you saw."

Not in the asshole sense," if she met him, she'd know. "But more in the way he was able to keep cool and take charge when everything was going down." He takes another sip. "And I think I need to work on my combat abilities more. I feel virtually useless when it comes to fighting."

The explanation seems to be something of a relief though. "Those are two good things to try and work on." she nods. "Combat training is very important, and there are many who would be willing to teach you. Do you have any preferred learning methods?" In some ways she's reluctant to suggest Mr. Amtrum.

Otherwise there are senior agents who would be willing to help that I could also list for you. Mr. Amtrum is the trainer, so he's always a good choice. His methods can be extreme, just as a warning." She figures finding a way to train was the easiest way to start.
