presummation

It doesn't occur to Reyn that his choice of role model is such an unoriginal one, such a decision perhaps subtly lacking in forethought due to the overarchingly easy contrivance of the pattern, or whatever that means.

Fiora's got Dunban. Shulk's got Dickson. Reyn's got Mumkhar, but if he knows what's good for him, shouldn't he shy away?

Mumkhar tries to shake him off, anyway; to ignore how brave the boy really is, a truly nice strapping spirit.

It's an indication of esteem that Mumkhar doesn't want or need. But Reyn does both, so what's a nasty fellow to do?
