[That earns a warm laugh, actually. Yeah, all right, he's not thrilled that Law is by default the enemy of his fellow soldiers, but honestly, if he does get to go back and stay alive, he will be too. It's a weird position to be in. Instead he focuses on the implied compliment, and that all these years later, Law still uses that endearing nickname for him. It's just... nice. Comfortable, familiar.]

I'm sure you'll get a chance, considering what I've been up to here on missions. Plenty of others here know how to pull a trigger, but they're not all quite as good at infiltration.

[That's one of his skills that he actually isn't going to downplay. It's also something he doesn't usually mention so directly around the others. Nobody trusts a spy.]

I'm looking forward to seeing you in action, too. I never really thought about working side by side with you before, as equals.
