[Fukuda sighs. Of course Vakama would say that. He has to, given his role. It doesn't matter if he really thinks that way. This is just the kind of person he's been forced to be via his circumstances. Regardless of how he actually feels. It's like how when he was a kid and the class reps would have to maintain some level of politeness with him even though they looked down on him like the others.]

... Aah. Far be it from me to tell you what to do, Vakama. You just tell ne what to do, and I'll do it.

[Patting Vakama's arm reassuringly.]

It's just easy for me to handle suffering because I'm used to it.
