[ and he speaks up after he exhales his latest drag ]
He's bold enough to make such demands, even with two Generals in his proximity. He'll be dealt with accordingly if he goes through with his threat, "immortality" be damned.
[We'd all be damned, she thinks despairingly, and balls her fists where no one can see them.]
So long as we're all here, he is untouchable.
[Completely; Noah's memory need not apply.]
The Initiative will- [ tight: ] bring him back if we do anything to him, and I'm positive there would be hell to pay for it. It isn't the Noah in him which makes him a threat— [ she has seen just as many unforgivable human acts as Noah ones ] it's the will to cause harm.
It's just like Lenalee says, if we go after him we'll just make it worse—
[ Wait, hold the phone. Allen's words are sinking in and really Allen, you should tell him these things because he goes from stony calm to FREAKING THE FUCK OUT. A little.
His voice is definitely rising with sudden urgency. ]
Wait Allen, what do you mean you know what it's like? Did— [ the Fourteenth awaken here too? ]
[Ah, finally, Master decides to speak up. Even if he might not admit it to Cross, the presence of two Generals is a reassurance, to some extent. Tyki's no match for Cross.
But he wants to contest what Lenalee's saying. The will to cause harm is the Noah - he doesn't believe Tyki can be at peace until it's removed from him. He'd be human, purely, he could lead a normal life. But they're still trapped between a rock and a hard place. If they leave Tyki be, there's nothing stopping him from harming others. If attacked, he would retaliate, and Allen doesn't want any innocent people to—
whoa, are you feeling okay, Lavi?]
Oh- sorry. Some months ago, the transport machine malfunctioned, and people swapped bodies. It was only ['only'] a few days, but a Noah's existence... it's terrible.
"Only" a few days, he says. Even a minute would be horrible, let alone days. [ but he is going to shut his mouth on that. ohhh Allen, if you only knew... ]

I-is that so . . .
[ Give him a moment to compose himself again. Also General, you're really fuckin' terrible, but Lavi doesn't comment on that or the subject further. ]
Anyway, it's best to just agree. There's nothing we can do without making it worse.
