[Ben doesn't seem terribly concerned about any damage he's sustained; he touches his fingertips to his ear, his neck, one more time just to be sure, but he's okay. His ears will ring for a few hours, his equilibrium will be faulty, but it will go away. He shrugs it off, figuratively anyway, hand dropping back down to his side at loose attention.

All of his attention is on Alex.]

I know you can. You should also consider some manner of ongoing training in hand to hand combat, to allow for the event that your powers are not available to you for some reason, or not operating as you would expect them to, as occasionally happens in this place.

[He hesitates for a moment, because this is a line he wasn't sure he wanted to cross going in. Observing, commenting, analyzing, these are all things Ben is perfectly willing to do because he can do them at a distance. But actual combat training? That's in another category.

But it's love. He can allow for it.]

I am capable of imparting some of this training, in this case.

If you find this acceptable.
