"Hey, you've heard my jokes. Besides, it'd be too easy if someone that was a knight got bitten."

Being a knight would be too cool. Most Spiders are underdogs, they have to learn to fight from scratch and make their own way. It means it's... hard, really, relying on other people to pull you out of the fire when things start burning, but if Gwen was still a solo act she'd have died back on the deck when she slipped from the tower.

So maybe it's a good thing. Even if it's scary.

"...yeah. You can keep going."
