After a few years of traveling with someone, you learn a few things about them. This includes, in Roland's case, the type of fighting they prefer. It's what he prefers too, to be honest - getting the lay of the land, figuring out how to use it. But they're completely out of their depth here, at least for a little while, and Roland accepts that. Still, he knows Donald isn't completely satisfied.

"Do you mind if my friend gathers a few things of yours?" he asks, again addressing the group in general rather than only one member. "We'll use anything he takes as carefully as we can, and you'll find few better when it comes to machines."
