[It isn't pride, it's defensiveness. Ellie has never been stellar at following directions and doing what she's told- a detail she isn't shy admitting either. She isn't pissed that he's suggested that she needs training. It's that he doesn't know anything about her in the first place, and that he's washing his hands of the whole training thing that he suggested. She isn't about to go sign on to some military drill squad after knowing how much fun they were back home, and she sure as hell isn't going to seek out complete strangers to order her around.
