Firo nods. Though he never had to take up a sword (and never had the opportunity until now), he's no stranger to needing to defend himself.

He blinks at Hector, startled. "Oh, um... thank you." Firo isn't much better at taking compliments than Hector seems to be. He shrugs as he takes another drink. "I've had good teachers, I guess." Both the ones who taught him about weapons in general and Hector.
