You made that plain enough when you jumped in to defend him from an anonymous ghost.

[The sass turned back on with a raised brow. Power was a concept he understood in his bones, but was still learning about on a conscious level. In many ways, it was like having the keys to an endless library with contents that were unknown beyond mere surface level understanding. As much as he railed against exploring that library, the shadows within it had already taken a hold in his soul.

Such effects couldn't be swept aside. He was changed no matter what he wished.

No matter what, he was always paying for the mistakes of another.]


It's okay. This isn't the first time I've done something I knew could be dangerous without telling anyone first. Those times ended up... pretty bad, but it worked out.

[Even if he knew he was giving Jaune heart attacks with every time he decided to go walk about without warning.]

...I'm not used to having the time to plan things out. Power is dangerous, but so is not acting when you see an opening. Where I'm from, a moment's decision can make the difference between life or death no matter how much power or experience you have.

Huntsmen and Huntresses don't have long careers. And, I don't think my predecessors did either after they were chosen by their fate.
