You know, I actually wouldn't mind that. Most people didn't care much for knives where I'm from.

[When compared to guns, knives were considered obsolete, primitive event. Maybe it's because of the way knife-fighting tends to put you in close quarters with your enemy, but to Billy that was part of the adrenaline rush.]

I tried teaching some men how to use knives, but they all walked out on me without even trying. [He shakes his head with a wry chuckle.] Guess I shouldn't have expected too much from farmers in the first place.

[But even that isn't much of an excuse. Billy had started out as runaway manservant who perfected his skill with knives to survive. So why couldn't a couple of farmers defending their town do the same?]
