I hired him, make no mistake. Ah, but it was primarily because I'm accustomed to having a right hand. In the case here, I largely wanted him to look after Yona, and help me gather information. Hiring him was simply to ensure there would be no competing interests.
[so that he doesn't have to worry if blanca took on a different contract and that contract was directing him to do other things]
But he's very kind, so I suppose he assumed I wanted him to look after my well-being too.
Oh, you can be. That'd be nice. I'd like it if you two looked after each other, too. Maybe now that's what I'll do.
[cute!!! bodyguard buddies!!!!! LOVE THAT HANSA AND BLANCA JUST SIGNED UP FOR THIS TOGETHER BECAUSE SOO-WON DIDN'T THINK OF IT]
But ah - Yona and I are from the same kingdom, so I'd like to see after her safety. She was roommates with Blanca last week, which made him the natural choice to assign to her.
Oh. No, she's unaware. That said it's not asking for anything in particular, given that she's someone endearing and easily adored. Archer's looking after her as well, I believe, but not from my request.
[it just happened! so that's nice. soo-won doesn't feel like he's asking for anything particularly strenuous]
But we've known each other since we were children, and she's an important person.
It's in my interests to see to her survival just as much as my own.
Why not talk to her, though? Is it because of all the things you did in your kingdom? You know, when you told me how you essentially toppled it from the shadows.
You give me too much credit, Hansa, I was merely one small part of the efforts.
[with a bit of a sheepish laugh]
But... there's something between us that's missing, yes. We're still trying to figure out what that is. It's mostly...
Well, normally there's someone at her side - who I trust with her safety above all else. That person isn't here right now... so I'd simply rest easier like this. And that girl...
I think she'd be more hesitant to ask for help. Some part of her feels like she has to do things on her own, as penance for some of her own mistakes. I can only talk her out of so much.
[ . . . ]
And I'd appreciate it - if you kept this between us.

[HmmMMMMMM?]
[And that's...so funny. Mr. Blanca......sir.............[holds up microphone to him] are you aware you're Not Technically a Bodyguard?]
He is rather nice, that's true. [A short sigh.] And here I was thinking you were giving me an official bodyguard partner. Oh, well.

"Know about me".... In what sense?

I appreciate that.
I intend on looking after everyone, but I'm afraid even I'm guilty of a personal bias here and there.
[and while his relationship with yona is complicated, he also won't hesitate to see to her safety]
