Allen sighed, rolling his shoulders a little. [b]"I don't want to kill the idiot, just hurt him a bit. As for Kalinda, I feel like if I try to go 'I'll try harder to be nice' will just get her to go off on me again, judging by my luck."[/b] He let out a long breath. [b]"And I'm trying not to be an ass to everyone. I'm not being an ass to you, am I? And not just because it hurts when your miester touches me."[/b]

Myth kept looking at the ground. [b]"A-allen's debt isn't one of g-gratitude. He b-believes someone from the D-DWMA killed h-his mother. And from wh-what he told me, it d-doesn't sound like sh-she would've just left him. E-even if she was a w-witch."[/b] He bit his lip, worried Allen would be unhappy with him later for telling her, but he hoped it would gain him just a little sympathy. [b]"S-so he wants to b-beat up the person wh-who killed his mother. That's why h-he went all-out."[/b]
