[Bruce maybe stumbles a bit in surprise from Kaisa thumping his back, and said surprise lingers at the words that she says next. The gesture was, well, appreciated, although he really didn't need it - and the last thing he wanted was to get anywhere near Anders. It'd just cause more of a headache and more unnecessary arguments he'd rather avoid.]

I'll be alright, Ser Kaisa. [He starts once the surprise wears off.] It's not the first time I've gone though it. I can handle myself. But I appreciate the thought.
