[ Hawks could see he was struggling, he was offering him the out. Just because he's willing to tolerate stupid amounts of pain - trained for it, in fact - does not mean that anyone else should have to.
Maybe Axel is drawn to Paladins, like he's drawn to Corsairs. Or, as Hawks is leaning, maybe it's all bullshit to begin with. One more thing to deal with in an unfamiliar world. Lines in the sand are rarely so clear, and he knows that more than most, from one assassin to another.
His words make Hawks smile. ]
That's the beauty of the sky. [ Small moments of freedom that he cherishes before the reality on the ground crashes in. ]
We'll meet again, preferably when this isn't an issue. [ He sounds confident, but he also murmurs a little more self-conscious. ] I hope.
