[ Hawks is smiling, unflappable. The only sign of the jolt of pain is subtle, a twitch of his pinkie finger and then nothing. Axel shouldn't try to stick it out as long as him, he's used to ignoring pain and just dealing with it without complaint.

It definitely hurts, but he's had much worse. He flicks a concerned look Axel's way, but he won't bring it up. He trusts him to know his own limits. ]

What I like about this place is the big open sky. [ Probably not that surprising really. ]

Although, Eltrut's always the busiest place I end up, and I've been on Nogard quite a bit, but now that I have a crew, their island is probably the prettiest place I've been.
