[If Robb were in a better mood he would acknowledge his errors and probably dwell on them for a long time to go.]

I will take my siblings away from here and bring them home. This is not their home and neither is it mine. [To be absolutely fair, he wants to bury his fist into Allen's face and he wants to yell at him like a petulant child. Thank the gods Robb manages to force himself to hold back.]

This is not going to be done your way. If this ship has enough capable fighters then you might not be in need of someone in charge of security, is it not?

[Robb does not understand this place and frankly, he does not want to either. There is a war waiting for him and that is far more important than being here around these people.]

I will ask captain Sokka for my resignation and remain with my siblings. [After those words he simply turns around, seething with anger.] Their safety is what matters most to me. [It is wrong to think in such a way. He knows the words conflict with his beliefs the moment they come from his mouth. But anger has never really done him good. And that guilt doesn't do him any good either.

He owed these people just as much as he owed Bran and Sansa. They have kept them safe all that time and Robb finds himself stopping halfway, already reaching out for the button used to open the door.]

I... [He looks over his shoulder, frowning deeply.] ...I take those words back. My anger spoke for me.

[save_the_souls]

[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.

[All Robb wants is to go home. To take Bran and Sansa and return to where he came from. There was still so much he had to do. He could not stay here forever. This is no forever. This could very well be one of those fever dreams he got after he took an arrow to the arm.

And of course he could have pummeled the other in the face a couple of times. But that would be foolish and utterly childish but gods he was angry. Robb can be terribly angry sometimes.]

Aye, we will speak of this later. [Robb nods in a curt way, agreeing with Allen’s words. He stands still now but slowly presses the button to open the door.] We are both not reasonable at this point and I will accept your apologies for now. [He rolls his shoulders.]

Aye. [He looks fully at Allen and nods for a second time. After that he leaves Allen’s chambers and he can feel a nasty headache coming up as he walks through the hallway.]

[save_the_souls]

[Allen gives him a nod in return and lets Robb leave, moving to shut his door as Robb walks down the hallway. After he's gone, he moves back down to his chair, plopping down into it and rubbing his forehead as he lets out a big sigh.]

[That...that did not go well. Ugh.]
