[The smile he has on his face can probably be heard in his voice.]
Usually meeting a ninja is the last thing you do.
[It's generally a very bad thing if you're meeting a ninja, often followed by having a sword skewered through parts where most people don't want swords. But behind the mask Genji is grinning and Ben's smile is nice, it's been a long time since a smile was directed at him and Genji realizes how much he's enjoying this place so far. Nearly everyone he's met has either been impressed or delighted to meet him, and even the one person who'd been afraid had quickly come around.
What a difference from back home where he was viewed with pity for the most part. And if not that, then fear. Either of what he'd become or who he was - it didn't matter the reason, it did little for his sense of self worth and any small hope of normalcy.]
It's a rare gift to be pulled back from death and have a second chance at life. I suppose everything pales in comparison to that.
[He'd do well to focus on the good things rather than the bad, because Ben is right. Everything else is small compared to being alive.]
If you can spare them I would love some. It's odd to wake up without having coffee. It had been my routine for so long and now it's strange to be without.
