[he's more... confused. looking between Rin and their hands like he's pretty sure there's some sort of mistake happening. this is not how people react to his hand, usually?]

[aono]

[His teasing didn't quite get the results he was hoping for, but it's still something. So Rin just smiles.]

It's nothing to be worried about, yeah? It's just a hand.

[He squeezes the hand a little, as if to accentuate his point.]

[lefthandpath]

[when in fact the words "it's just a hand" are what get the reaction, but it also results in Allen Walker pulling back on his hand and looking away.]

If it was just a hand, I wouldn't be able to make it into a sword.

[please... he's dying???]

[aono]

[He lets go! But he's grinning as he does so.]

Even if it turns into a sword, it's still a hand! Besides, it's better to extend a hand in friendship than it is to extend a sword in battle, yeah?

That doesn't always work when it comes to akuma--er, the akuma where I'm from.

[aono]

Nah, it just means you need to, like...wear a glove I guess?

[lefthandpath]

... no, I mean. There are times when my hand acts on its own.

Innocence and akuma do not get on very well.

[aono]

...so like, your arm just strangles akuma without you even thinking about it?

[That's so weird.]

[lefthandpath]

Sometimes...

[there's clearly some history there, yep.]

[aono]

[WELP.]

I'll, uh. I'll keep that in mind.

[He's not afraid, exactly. It's just weird.]
