They also tend to say something is better than nothing, which... weirdly, isn't always true. But it just might be in this case. Until something permanent can be figured out.
[Five stopped caring about getting his hands dirty years ago, but he knows it isn't for everyone. And. Well. He hates that it comes as naturally to him as it does, thanks to The Handler and the Commission and all the things they did to him. But he also doesn't know what the Confluence did for Harryβ it didn't give Five anything extra, which he was just fine with, thanks.]
you know how you've got your powers? well, I got some too, when I fell into this universe. a sort of healing ability, but it requires a bit of give-and-take.
You never know with this shit. I'm guessing it has to be done on people, and you can't cheat and just punch the shit out of a heavy bag at a gym? Well. Maybe you can find some sparring partners.
[He'd offer, but Five isn't sure how Harry would feel about throwing a swing at him when he looks like, well, this. And he tries not to give in to the ever-present hum of violence in his veins unless it's really necessary.]
Iβd suggest reframing it a little unless you want the moral police jamming down your throat. Something about wanting to learn better self defense or something.

sparring partners is an interesting idea, though.
[ It hadn't occurred to Harry to seek out people who would willingly let him hurt them. He was just taking it by force. ]

[ Which he was 100% prepared to do, but having other options is good. ]
I'll maybe take the idea to OurPowers. try to do an interest check.
