... this guy has to be doing this on purpose, right? Perhaps predictably, Gen scowls in the fact of that question, the way he dips his gaze and rubs a hand at his freshly-healed wrist making it clear he's hesitant to give what must be an obvious answer.

But after a moment's pause, he does mumble, "Me. I'd wanna learn it. If I can."

He doesn't often ask people for any sort of help, and he accordingly sounds stiff and awkward as he mutters that request. Still, he's well aware he's out of his depth here -- he should probably scrabble for every extra advantage he can get. It's just a little humbler, a little less reluctant when he adds quietly, "If ... you could teach me."
