The fact you've been focused at all in them... I think it important that your instinct points you there, are any rate. That you are willing to put in that work. It says quite a lot.

You...remind me a bit of a friend, actually. He was as determined to learn things as you seem now.

And perhaps it isn't offhand. However, the skills you use in one...can easily transfer to the other. I've heard it referred to as something of a game, a deadly one, but a game in which the object is to outwit your opponents and gain what you can from them, whenever you can. A similar skillset I think.
