[ there's no tactful way to say "i was unhinged and trying to sabotage the game and he helped change me" so he decides to say something else ]
He's smart. Not only is he smart, he's embarrassingly lazy, so he solves problems efficiently. He figured out how things worked.
[ in spite of his vagueness and his backhanded compliment, Hikage can't help but look a little soft at the recollections. ]
At the time, I didn't understand things there... Or, rather, I didn't care to understand them. But Belph did, and he used that knowledge to protect me when he could have been protecting himself. He's that kind of man.
[ saying it is embarrassing, though! so he won't. he's already thanked Belph in person; he doesn't need to go showing some outsider his vulnerable side. More than he just did - he seems belatedly aware that he gave more of himself away than he'd like, and he goes quiet for a few seconds, sticking his hands in his pockets. ]
