[ "But I do not think that is a way I ever wish to live again." Don't think Allen didn't notice that one very important word in there, Viktor. It's a very important insight, one that would actually have him stilling a little to realize. And he will later, but-- right now, Viktor's managed to throw him off keel enough to distract him. ]
Ehh?! There's nothing wrong with wanting to hear stories like that... [ Sweating, just a little. It isn't a lie; truth be told Allen is a romantic. Just... not the traditional archetype of one. If this were some saccharine out of touch fairytale that didn't seem real or hot and heavy he'd be nope'ing out so fast. But the truth of people's affections and their bonds with each other are literally the reason why he fights, the reason for his everything, simply by virtue of both his nature and the nature of akuma. It doesn't matter what kind of bond, what kind of love they are, and he doesn't rank any over the others.
But. He also wouldn't ask about them either, yeah. ]
