Someone's out to kill me--and I'm guessing failing on the first attempt isn't going to dissuade them from trying again. 'm only human, I don't have my fancy toys I've got back home, and with this. ( a gesture to his chest, with the injured hand. ) My reflexes're gonna suffer.

( he won't be able to pull another move like that again until his hand heals up. )

Since you're faster and stronger, I'm hoping you'd be able to watch my back and stop shit that came at me. 's all.
