I suppose I can't know if it is exactly the same without knowing the full context of that, but.. it sounds similar enough, yes. In fact, I was part of a group back home that also went around trying to protect people! We call ourselves the Shepherds!
Obviously I am the group's only member in this place, but I still refuse to abandon my mission of looking after and protecting the people here all the same. I know it is what any of us would have done in my position.
Well, if you ever want to learn how to fight, all you have to do is let me know.
I can't say that I am an official teacher or anything of the sort, but of course I would never mind helping out someone who wants to learn how to be brave and protect those around them.
Of course I would teach you! Anyone who wants to defend themselves and those around them should be allowed to learn how to do so, don't you think? The world would be a sad, sad place if only those who wish to cause others harm were taught how to fight!
Though I do have to admit that my speciality is swordfighting.. Do you think you would want to try that?
[ In Inigo's world it may be very normal to hold a sword, but he's learned here that it's definitely not as common in other worlds. And he sure wouldn't want to make Gus do anything he doesn't want to do, especially since fighting with a sword might be a big leap for some people. ]
Yeah! I have my slingshot but I'm not sure that's as effective.
Swordfighting? That's not loud is it? Like the guns?
[Gus himself has been involved in fighting but usually more in hiding and Jepp deals with the Last Men. Or Bear. He tries to help where he can but he is obviously not so experienced, not as big to be as much of a threat or as much help in comparison. That and they prioritize protecting him, as the youngest, as a kid.]
[ Well, technically it can be a little loud if you go at it hard enough, but.. Inigo has seen and heard guns by now, and he definitely thinks it pales in comparison to those. So he's fairly confident when he writes back: ]
It is not that loud at all!
[ .. wait, though he's.. slowly realizing something. Though the thought of it is very, very odd to him considering how common those things are where Inigo comes from.. ]
Surely you have seen a sword before, right? [ R-Right?? ]
Someone who has never seen a sword before. It's a wild, wild concept to him. ]
I suppose you could call them that, yes. They come in all shapes and sizes, but they are definitely larger than a knife.
They can be rather dangerous to practice with since they are rather sharp, but perhaps we can find you a wooden sword to practice with somewhere in this place.
A wooden one? Sure. I guess that would work. I guess we can ask around? See if anyone knows someone that might know where to get one or making one or something.

No. Just my slingshot and guns. But I think I remember some in Pubba's stories. Like a long knife?
[Gus would be a complete newbie to this sort of thing. To swords. But the idea is simple enough? Use the pointy end? Right?]
