[MATHIS AND HIS UPHILL BATTLE TO GET PEOPLE TO STOP IS SO FUNNY,
Lavi does stop patting his head at that though, pulling back to look at him. He can't exactly scold him for that, because a part of him understands it.]
You don't want to hurt anyone. It's the same for me too.

[oh. oh, no.
mathis wilts visibly, at that.]
...did you keep it with you?
no subject
[which might have been foolish, but]
He wasn't doing great, so I figured he'd feel better if he had something to protect.
no subject
[he'll end up talking to rondo anyway, he's sure.]

Were you training with Iwa too?

But I'm still glad that you don't think it was me.
no subject
[otherwise, why didn't they notice anything at all...?
and at that last bit-]
I don't want to think that it could have been, even if I know that any of us could have killed. I don't want... you to be someone that we lose.
no subject
Thanks. I don't want you to be that someone either.
no subject
but he doesn't object aloud, because that is still reassuring.]
I... I don't want to be. If I ever am, I'm hoping that they're... able to defeat me first.

It's... the hardest part of it all. Knowing that not only does someone lose their life, but the one who killed them is suffering, too.

these words sound so familiar though. mathis does remind him a lot of allen...]
We can still do something for them. ...And the others can, if it's us.
We did it for Erin, and Vin for Nona. [...] We'll see what we can do for whoever it is this time.
no subject
We need to find out for their sake, as well...
