[Zeno has his own thoughts and opinions about the things Yona was raised to think, and who raised her that way... but that isn't relevant now.]

Zeno wouldn't say this to everyone, but what missy wants works out, you know. Gathering the Four Dragon Warriors isn't an easy thing to do, but it was done. Think about it-- in two thousand years, no one else did, though Zeno is sure some have tried.

[...though that second part makes him laugh a little, shoulders shaking.]

Zeno's just had too much time to think, that's all. After a while, the other directions a thought can go become natural, and you skip the ones everyone will think of, that's all.

[...that's one rationalization of eccentricity, at least.]
