"You go rest and recover. I'll repair the place on my own, it's how it should be. I should do the repair work on my own. After all, I have to learn to be self-reliant, some of the time. Your help was valuable back there. Had you not taken most of them, there was a 25% probability that even with my talents, I would be dead."
There was that, and the fact that Matthew didn't want to rely on anything more than his own labors to repair the place. A man's home was his castle, and so he was going to repair his on his own. After all, no one else lived here, and Stein had refused the offer to live here. "Perhaps sometime in the future we could perhaps align ourselves with one another if the need should arise. I for one, know that I could use your help on my next raid in this area, to expand my territory. There's also a few criminals I could use your help with. Of course, I will have to teach you some about fighting."
The individual had a lot to learn. Helping him get to the door, Matthew practically escorted him off the property. Once Stein had left, Matthew went inside and began the slow process of fixing everything that was wrong with his mansion. First and foremost, he started with the bullet holes, plucking the bullets out of the wall. This was of course, not easy and did more damage than it did fixing, but he was determined to fix his home on his own.
