[There's a lot of words that Allen could say to that fit of temper. A lot of comebacks, a lot of snips and picks. Allen would be a liar if he say some didn't cross his mind to yell at Robb's back.]
[But the moment he stops at the door, and looks back- Allen halts those thoughts. He sees that frown, he knows that look well. The look that one makes when they realized they blurted out things they didn't mean or want to say. God knows Allen's been in Robb's shoes a fair amount of times.]
[And if Allen was anything, he was a man who was capable of swallowing his own pride, of allowing an argument to slide- when it was important. Oh sure, he could argue until he's blue in the face about Toph's nicknames and stupid little things like that. But...for important things? Allen knew to listen to the words unspoken. And the words that Robb didn't speak was that he was very much an afraid kid. A kid that was trying too hard to be a man, who wanted so badly to protect his siblings while living up to a royal name while being completely out of his element. That'd be hard one for anyone]
[And so...he takes a deep breath, and this time, speaks in a more reasonable tone]
...It's alright. We're all stressed out right now. [himself included. Azula reminded him of days he much rather forget.] I'm sorry for pushing as well.
Let's just...set this aside for now, and come back to it when we're not both worked up, okay? [Aka, take a breather] We'll figure something, okay? With the locks up now, we got time to come up with a good solution.
