"I also learned how to fight at a young age." He prefers not calling it killing and surviving. Partially because he wants to make it all seem better than it really was, and partially because it hadn't really been the initial goal. No one knew just how bad things were going to get when they first started teaching him how to hold a sword and fight with it, after all.
He even tries shooting a slight smile Finnick's way as he's saying it.
"My parents felt like it was an important skill for me to learn." Which is.. true, even if he's omitting a lot of details here. Inigo is pretty good at painting a more sunny picture of things that aren't all that sunny at all. "And it paid off. Being a mercenary is practically my job now. I travel around with a group of other people back home who are all committed to protecting the innocent. We call ourselves the Shepherds!"
