[He shakes his head.]

Nah...not when there's people far more deserving. More capable. People that don't run the risk of destroying everything they love and everything they've built when they make a poor decision or lose control...

...I'm not hero material. I just make sure they have what they need to do what they do best. And that they always come home to the people who need them...

[There's a tinge of sadness in his voice. He's long made peace with the fact that he'll never come back from a quest or an ordeal and receive a hero's welcome. People like him don't get parades or celebrations. No one will ever cheer his name. He'll never truly find a place like that...]

[But...he's content to know he'd at least play a part. Maybe he'll forge a sword that'll slay a great evil or make a set of armor that guided the real hero through an impossible battle.]

[He'd be happy with that...]
