Ion gently tells Luke that fighting is Jade and Tear's job, and you're a civilian, so the difference in attitude is totally natural, baby. Luke wants to know how Ion can condone these deaths caused by his subordinates, but Ion is a realist, and sadly says that it's necessary -- the Order of Lorelei is dangerous now.
Luke asks Jade why he became a soldier, because... he doesn't know Jade very well. Jade does not answer this question and instead repeats Ion's sentiment that his emotions are natural for a civilian. He says that they'll protect Luke until they reach Baticul, so he can leave it to them and then return to his safe, normal, non-murdering life.
Guy knows how Luke's been raised and understands his floundering. "Outside towns, killing people isn't considered a crime, as long as it's not proven to be for personal malice," he explains. Interesting. He won't tell Luke how many people he's killed personally. Luke asks why he isn't scared and he says that fear is why he fights: he doesn't want to die, he still has stuff to do. "Like what?" Luke asks, and Guy says, "Revenge. ...Just kidding." Yes, just kidding! Ha ha! We're all laughing over here about that funny joke, bb. :(
Now, as per my policy, I will lastly talk to the most relevant person. Tear is worried about Luke, because she understands now that he's a civilian -- as in, never seen real combat or killed anyone before. She apologizes, which makes him feel super awkward, coming from the person who just got injured saving his life. But she's a soldier, and protecting soldiers is her job. He accuses her of trying to sound tough and does not actually end up thanking her or anything.
