[ Apparently Alex has hit the video button on accident, seeing as no one's told him how to lock his touch screen yet, and you're getting a lovely, if not nauseatingly blurred, view of the sidewalk as he wanders along one of the many in Abax.

You can be more powerful than any bullet, Alex. So no need to worry on that front.

Give if up, if you think it's right.

[Erik rubs a finger over his temple.]

Fine.

There's good reason for it, Erik.

[ His jaw clinches. 'Afraid' isn't the word he'd use, but he's not going to argue it right now. It doesn't keep there from being a bit of bite to his tone, though. ]

So stop pushing it.
