[That comment is a bit of an eye-opener for him, especially since Augustine never saw himself in such a light. He always thought of himself as too spontaneous and irrational at times but actually, he's the opposite of that. Augustine actually has some sense of morals and boundaries despite how obscure they might seem. That's all because of his heydays within the Church. If he didn't find structure within the Brotherhood, he probably would've been as wild and primal as Rip here.
Just that thought alone makes him cringe somewhat. Despite how much he admires Rip's fiery spirit and spitfire attitude, Augustine has to admit that would be rather off-putting in certain situations.]
I remind you there's more to life than just violence? [He questions while giving the love of his life a hopeful smile.] I don't expect you to accept everything. You're your own person, Rip. I would never expect you to simply conform to what I believe or what society believes.
I rather you think and form your own ideas.
[That's the honest truth. Augustine is too much of a free-thinker to feel the need to box in others.]
Nevertheless, I feel grateful to know that I'm a positive influence on you.
