[There's no doubt in Hide's mind that he won't be able to keep up. He's physically healthy, but he's not a fighter, despite a few half-assed attempts to learn kung-fu. And he definitely doesn't stand a chance against a ghoul's speed or reflexes.
But he's not doing this because he thinks he'll win. It's very likely that he'll suck at it. But this is a part of Kaneki now. He fights and tries to use his abilities to protect his loved ones. Hide understands that and...he wants to be able to do that too.]
That's big talk coming from a book-worm like you!
[The attempt is enough to make this almost feel like old times. Except, if this was the past, they wouldn't be standing in a gym. And Hide definitely wouldn't be asking Kaneki to teach him to fight. But he doesn't let those thoughts linger. This is their new normal.]
