[It's a minute or two before a response comes, and though it was tempting to respond with text, he opts to pick up on the other end as speaking will be quicker.]
Bookman Junior. [That's a greeting.] I told him the truth.
[ Two long minutes that have done nothing to quell his anger. If anything, it almost made him storm out off his apartment to go look for the life ruiner. ]
What for? Do you want the Fourteenth to awaken here!?
[Link's voice remains even, which is probably all the more frustrating.]
What guarantee is there that not telling him will prevent any awakening? He ought to know what he faces, and this is a unique opportunity for the one who knows the most about his situation to be of use and support to him when it is otherwise no longer a possible.
[It takes him a moment to respond. "Unnecessary." Of course, everyone would think so. He hears Cross' harsh words again about Allen withdrawing from the other Exorcists. Recalls with a sting the lack of recognition in Allen's expression when he made the first call. Remembers wavering words spoken quietly in a prison cell beneath the Order: "Not knowing is frightening, isn't it?"
He wonders if he's a little disappointed in Lavi...]
Walker is tenacious. And he values his comrades in the Order. I'm certain given time and the proper support his mood will recover. If you're worried about the weight he has to carry then perhaps you should make certain he knows you're willing to carry it with him.
[ There's a million retorts he has to that, but ultimately the only response that Link is going to get is a brief loud CRASH before the feed is abruptly cut off.
Because Lavi has just thrown his tablet across the room and into the wall.

We didn't tell him for a reason! What right do you have to come in here and mess it all up?

What was there to gain from telling him? Making sure the rest of his stay here is miserable? Because if that was your goal, good fuckin' job.
Re: voice;
Are you not confident that you can be of some comfort to him?

[ A hollow laugh. ] After what you've told him? No one can.
