[ Assuming all Asians can do martial arts just because they are Asian is insane, huh? Kim lets out a quiet snort as he reads it, shrugging his shoulders a little ruefully.

Still, it's enough for his hackles to settle a little. It's this place's fault, really; between half the people here mistaking him for whatever a Japanese person may be to the toy in his pocket, it's interrupted the steady status quo he was used to. It may not have been a pleasant status quo, but it was, at least, what he was used to. ]

[ Not that it always works. And here's Kim, with his itchy trigger finger and all. ]
I'm sure you know more about hand-to-hand than I do, anyway. [ Daniel's throat is injured, after all. ] Do you find yourself in many fights outside of the karate... ring? Arena? Stage? You're going to have to help me out with the terminology, here.
