[ He might have said something insanely creepy about always being available for someone as lovely as Allura, but he spares her by answering her question instead. ]
We are a higher crime area. And a lot of it is on a street level. Drug deals, petty thefts, assaults and brutality. They would not dare to threaten you. Not as long as I am with you, but I will not lie and paint Maurtia Falls as the best of the imPort cities. It is very much a work in progress.

Well, I suppose that just means it needs a bit more help than the other cities.
I assure you, however, that I can carry my own weight while in Maurtia Falls, so there is no need to worry about my well-being. But I will keep that in mind while visiting.
[Trust me this chick can throw robots like they're nothing.]
It is important that I become better acquainted with the cities of this realm, after all.
I do agree wholeheartedly. When I first arrived, I familiarized myself with the porter cities first as well. It can be difficult for people far removed from this world like us. Most do come from some variation of Earth, so they already know the countries and geography. But we have to work that much harder.

Even so, it is an enriching experience, learning about an entirely different world. I find it admirable that you are being proactive about this, Princess.
