Who: Allen Walker
Broadcast: Text
Action: Iskaulit Gym
When: 2/6, late at night

[Well Allen's sure in a piss-poor mood tonight, if his late night texts have anything to say about it. Usually he's good at not letting departures get too under his skin. But losing a friend and someone from home in one go? Is a bit much.]

Kanda's gone. I'm sorry if you met him.

[Does that mean he's sorry that Kanda's gone from your life, or just a general apology for ever meeting the guy in the first place? Who knows.]

Also sorry to ask, but does anyone have anything that'd work on fixing tears on a punching bag?

[.......He a little got mad ok.]

So is it.. a gift, then? Something you like having?

[He's not sure if that's overstepping any boundaries so he braces himself for Allen to shut down his pattern of inquiry.]

[save_the_souls]

It allows me to do what I wish to do, so yes. I do like having it.

[wolfehawke]

There's something to be said for that.

[He goes back to sewing, eyes on the tears in the bag and his needle working in and out.]

I'm not really one to agree with the amassing of power for its own sake, but knowing what power you have ensures you can keep doing what it is you want with yourself... well, it's easy to see how some people can go overboard with that.

[save_the_souls]

[And that sounds very much like a lecture.]

...I've been doing this for nearly 14 years, Hawke. I understand your concerns, but I already know my limits.

[wolfehawke]

[That causes Wolfe's head to snap up, an almost hurt look on his face mixing with the confusion.]

What? I was just thinking aloud, I wasn't trying to imply you can't handle yourself.

[He huffs out a breath, frustrated either with his own poor ability to express his thoughts or Allen's misunderstanding. Really the former.]

I've run into a lot of people who try and become more powerful to do what they want to do and then can't stop. I'm not trying to imply that's you - like you said you've been at it 14 years, and from what I understand you only ever try to help - but it just made me think of the people who keep going, thinking the only way they'll ever be free or left alone is if they have enough power that no one can stop them. I'm just saying I can see it, even if I don't agree with it.

[He shakes his head. This is likely the reason some shit went to hell in Kirkwall with his companions and not with Marian and hers. He just runs his mouth sometimes without thinking about what it sounds like regardless of his intention.]

I dunno why this put me in mind of that, but it's just a thought. No offense meant.

[save_the_souls]

I see... [It's not sure if he actually believes him or not, but it doesn't really matter. He wasn't that offended, just mildly miffed.] Don't worry, no offense taken.

[But onto a change of subject, he offers a smile]

Anyway, thank you again for doing this. Are you sure there's no way I can repay you?
