[Johnny wasn’t surprised that Kaworu started to bitch about his methods and question whether it was his place to do it. He was always complaining about something, but Johnny could appreciate the energy he was putting into it now.]
Because I’m his sensei. It’s my job to make sure he’s got all the support he needs to succeed.
[And he’ll raise a hand and point a finger right at Kaworu.]
And life isn’t going to ask you if you’re ready to face a challenge. It’s going to come at you swinging and you have to be ready to face it.
[He's breathing hard. His hands are balled into fists, body taut like a wire liable to snap at any moment. Why is this man like this? Why does Paul like him? Questions Kaworu always asks himself and knows he'll never get an answer for.]
Well I haven't seen you face shit here. So sue me for wanting to be sure you could for myself.
[Johnny's actually managing to calm down more himself, but he also sees how tense Kaworu is right now and keeps himself ready incase another little tussle were to break out between them. Not that he thought he could win considering what Kaworu had proven capable of doing but because he wouldn't back down from a challenge.]
But that's all I'm asking you to do. And I'll do the same thing, deal?
[And just to prove he's good to his word. He'll spit on his palm and extend a hand for Kaworu to shake.]

Just like you showed me right here.

I've faced things before.
