[Wolfwood, in contrast, is Ain's polar opposite. Born and raised by the Catholic church, yes, but there's...a distinct difference about him and, in turn, about the teachings he was brought up by. Granted, that does not mean the Eye is any less of a group of religious zealots, they just go about their business a different way, and Wolfwood was most certainly not spoiled growing up. Rich, perhaps, since being in the mafia you're simply going to be dealing with huge amounts of cash...but the thing is, most of that cash isn't his. It goes to "the family". You exist to serve the family and, by extension, your faith.
So when Ain tells him that he's capable, Wolfwood...does not believe him for a god damn second. Sure, he seems smart, and he's probably incredibly intelligent in a lot of areas, but this town is going to chew him up and spit him out if he stays here for much longer. Even the normal townsfolk are of a type that are likely unlike anything Ain is used to, if the way he keeps trying to cover his bare wrists is any indication.
Oi.
Wolfwood slips his hands into his pockets, shaking his head in mock defeat.]
Oh, I'm sure. And what are you gonna do if somebody pulls a gun on you and tries to take the money I just gave you? Can you defend yourself against that?
