"Johann didn't want you to hurt him instead of caring," Hakkai corrects, gently.

"I will admit I do not quite see the difference".

It's an honest admission; he's not just being petulant.

"Violence isn't communication," Hakkai says, thoughtful and a little slowly. He hasn't fully unpicked Johann's side of that old argument for himself, but he'd heard about it from both Johann and Sebastian: he can go through his perception of the details.

"When he wanted to communicate, and you were violent towards him instead, what he understood from that was that you didn't care what he wanted. It's different, if you both want to tussle."

Maybe that's a gentle way of describing it, but Hakkai has a high tolerance for friendly violence himself. It's hard to know Sanzo without being able to translate.

"But when he wants to talk and you break his fingers that's rejection, not communication."
