[ Watch Adam Parrish try to adopt a troll, just watch. ]
Are you a soldier?
[ The 'trained in combat' has sent Adam on a very specific kind of thought trail. It would make sense. He's only met this man and he can see him in a stiff and unforgiving uniform, following orders. At one point in his teen years, he'd even considered the military for himself. It would have been a way to escape, an aid for education, but then he'd realised he'd have to remain cool around unending violence and the bubble had burst.
It might help to have people like that around though. ]
But you're not from here, right? You've been sent like the rest of us.
