[But he was never very... Good at it. And considering his more than slightly unorthodox manner of becoming a special agent in addition to psychologist, he'd been able to--for better or worse--skip some of training, which worked well enough considering his main role as an agent was as backup.]
Since I was always with Booth or another agent, it was a lot more likely we'd end up in a shootout than a physical fight.
[Of course, the first time that wasn't true he ended up being murdered in a parking garage, so to say that he should've spent more time on learning self-defense is more than fair.
He's silent for a few seconds at the memory, gaze unfocused, but then manages to look somewhat sheepish at Rosen's last statement.]
I should probably leave it at the apartment.
[Even if he's nervous about being unarmed, for the exact same reason of not being great in a fight.]
