[Allen was looking off to the side for a moment, to Timcampy hovering close by, mouth open briefly. Allen was clearly not that amused for a moment before he speaks.]

Will you just go on my head for the moment, please? Then we can get something to eat, but I need to do this.

[With that being said the golden golem very happily goes to rest on the others head and instead of just settling in just starts to nibble at the other's hair for the moment. Allen sighed, content with that for the
time being before speaking.]

So... This... might seem like an odd thing to want to talk about but before I arrived here I've had times when I have lost any powers I have and I guess this leads me to worry about the possibility of it happening here and not having something to replace what I lost.

[He tilted his head back, the golem still managing to stay put at the time as Allen was clearly uncomfortable with what he was about to say.]

I am asking because I have a very serious issue that could kill me should something like that happen. I was once very lucky that I was turned into a zombie, but I worry that next time I won't be as lucky. [He sighed once again looking straight at the device.]

So I am asking if there is anyone who can do something that could help fix a... hole in the heart?

[As he asked Tim was once again flying off his head and toward the others ear going to bite it.]

Ouch! Okay, okay. I am moving. [With that he finally ends the feed.]

[How was he okay with everything? That... was pretty much a good question. to be fair he was use to a lot of stuff at this point. It happens and not much he could do about it.]

I guess because stuff happens all the time, you just sort of get used to certain things being the way they are. [He thinks that is the reason, but he probably knows it could be more to it than that.]

I... wouldn't say too stubborn to die. My innocence decided to save me more than sheer stubbornness. [Though he did know at the time he didn't want to die.]

[ It's not that she can't understand that sentiment. She gets it. Alice has been through so much too, and while she has no idea how Allen could have gone through a lot and still be as.. well, nice and sociable as he is, she knows how tempting it is to just try to get used to it.

Maybe that's exactly her problem - that she just can't do that. ]

You shouldn't have to get used to that though! What, something put a hole into your heart and that's just okay?! You ought to have thrown that person off a cliff for it, at the very least!

Where I was from though, the war was a thing I had to be used to and something that was for the most part unavoidable. Sure... how I ended up with the hole was actually avoidable and was in part my own fault for overexerting myself and leaving myself vulnerable, but I also couldn't let whatever was going on continue to happen without trying to do something either and prevent more deaths.

[He found himself pausing, he... sort of understood how why his friends or at least Lenalee would get mad at him, even Bulla did for not being honest and keeping things to himself... But he knew that he didn't want people to worry. So it just made him wonder why he was saying that now.]

As for the person who did it... [He just smiles. Because he really cannot explain that he tried to get rid of the Noah side, the part of the side that did it to him in the first place and how badly that went.] Let's just say I wouldn't push him off a cliff... But I would more than willing to try and get rid of the negative side of themselves if I could help it.

There are plenty of things in life people think we have to be used to.

[ Alice knows that so well. Maybe more than the common man, considering how much abuse has been hurled at her during her life, and how terrible the living conditions back home were. ]

But that doesn't make them right. [ Nothing that has happened to her has been right. Or something she should just have to get used to. And Allen is-- he's so dumb, but so nice. Being stuck in a war isn't right for him. Having to get hurt like that isn't right either. ] And you shouldn't have to become a martyr for it.

I agree. It doesn't.

[Like the way the Order is. Sure some of it works, like his friends, they were okay. But other parts of the order and the things they have done were just not right and inhumane. Doesn't help they would not treat him like a traitor either.]

I... wouldn't call myself a martyr for it. I... just would rather help and not see them suffer, or at least to ease that in any way I can.

[ She's quiet for a second. Then she sighs. ]

You're incorrigible.

[ It seriously feels like she just isn't going to change Allen's mind about this, no matter how many times she figuratively hits him over the head with it. But that just means she's going to have to hover around him and pull him back if he seems about to do something a little too stupid. ]

Make sure to let someone fix up your heart before we're sent off somewhere again.

[He put a hand behind his head and simply laughed for a moment. He really didn't know how to respond to that for the most part. At least he could help with the other.]

I'm planning to and hopefully, I can. If I can't, I can at least say I tried.

I guess I can't fault you as long as you're trying..

[ Especially since Alice isn't sure if there's anyone on the train who can fix a problem as bad as that. She knows Wen Qing is a doctor, but she did say she has trouble with non-regular-human problems.. ]

Be sure to let me know by that time whether or not it's fixed. [ Because Alice will worry about him, though she's not going to say that out loud. ]

I will do. But if you don't assume it either didn't work, or it's a work in progress.

[Because he wasn't expecting an overnight fix, if it takes time it takes time and he was okay with that.]

[ Alice won't disagree that it would probably take a lot to fix a literal hole in a heart. But.. ]

You'd be surprised what some people are capable of here. [ Some people have stranger powers than ones she's seen in Wonderland! ] Perhaps it won't be as complicated as you think it might be for one of the magical healers.

I wouldn't be surprised.

[He used to a lot of things at this point, but he knew that he would still need to check and double-check before he would be confident enough to say anything.]

But we will see.
