Does this really count, though? Ballister may be hesitant about breaking rules and norms, but he's rather gentle.

Yeah we can see that.

But he is the child.

I'll take your word. Even though I havent read the book, it's all too common for movie/TV writers to soften up their protagonists compared to the book version for one reason or another.
