I don't care. The things I get from caring? They're another danger. I'd rather feign indifference even where there is none then deal with being used and manipulated. This way I'm on my guard. I DO want to protect them. That's why I'm here and that's why I didn't come re-join you even though I wanted to. I do... love... Jyabura. And protecting him and the others... they don't need my protection. And that's why I do it if it makes any sense. Killua and Gon are insanely strong but if someone doesn't watch them, who will? And if I wasn't with them I'd be... not with them. I couldn't do the things I want.

But even though this ship has a lot of kids they're devious little bastards too. I don't trust any of them at all. Which is another reason I want to watch them. I'm not a guide, I'm not even necessarily a good influence. But if I'm with them, they're not against me.


Tch. Banks aren't even a risk, they're a sure thing of losing my money and getting entrapped. Other people can keep money in a bank, I can't.
