[ It isn't the first time someone's recoiled at Danse's casual assumption that everyone is as thoroughly steeped in military culture as he is (and as proud of it as he is, as glad for it as he still is, even when it had all ended in near-tragic disaster.) He'd been one of the Brotherhood's most prolific recruiters for a time, a job that entailed receiving a lot more vehement rejection than it did acceptance, from people who weren't shy about telling him why.
But things are different here, and even if he still had the luxury of shrugging off the disdain of civilians and wrapping himself tighter in his bloodstained orange cocoon, he doesn't want to do that here. Jayce has struck him as potentially a kindred enough spirit in some ways that Danse would rather not write that off over one apparent difference of opinion, even if there were enough drifters here to make that easy to do. ]
It's just force of habit. [ Outdated force of habit. ] Technically, I...suppose that makes two of us, but I won't ask about your reasons if you'd rather I didn't. You just--seemed like you might know your way around a fight.
