You have my thanks, too. [ Allelujah speaks with heart. If he does, if what he believes in carries his strength of will with it... ] Because of that, we'll both come to protect what's important.

[ That's another well-guarded secret of his. Hallelujah's violence, for all of its precision, falls in line with what Allelujah wants. At one point, it was a tremulous balance, rife with heartbreak. But Allelujah has come into his own since then, and Hallelujah now falls into step with him. Well, mostly. Something that hasn't changed is that an ally is an ally, a friend is a friend. Trust extended to him doesn't blunt Hallelujah's fangs so much as it turns them on whatever might threaten them.

With that, he picks up his mug and extends it over the table. Cheers. ]
