[Well, he knew who he was dealing with. Of course the kid doesn't know what guns are. He holds up his free hand and makes a gun shape with it and mimes firing.] It's a weapon that you shoot with. It fires balls of metal, and they go right through people.

[He feels a little sad and hollow as he says this, but he doesn't show it, keeping hold of Diarmuid's hand as he walks with him.]

No, I don't have my gun either. I wish I did. And I told you, fairies didn't bring us here. [Kerry knows these things, okay?]

I meant nobody knows how a battle's going to go, so you've got to be open to possibilities. You've got to know as much as you can to give yourself the advantage. Knowing the terrain's part of that.

[Kerry talks like he knows what he's talking about, but he's only just starting to learn himself, even if he is older than Diarmuid.]
