It's a virus. It spreads. I caught it by eating bad clams. [Lethal seafood...] But, so what? There are plenty of normal bad people, too. I don't see them chanting for the death penalty every time some asshole gets on the news for murder.
Clams...? [remind them never to eat seafood again.]
But when framed that way, you raise a fair point. Though my job tends to deal with a number of "bad people" as you say...the death penalty is still in effect.
Regardless, it's a corruption that hasn't been fixed. Can it be fixed?
Ancient Serbian clams. They're like, bright fucking red.
[Greed will be fine as long as they don't make a habit of eating spicy clams. It's fine.]
I don't know... But I hope so? My husband became a knight to protect me. And one day, my daughter will take over for him. If anyone can fix it, it's them.
Why would you ruin perfectly good clams with marinara sauce...?
[not the point.]
...despite your someone blunt nature, Mrs. Hammond, it seems to me as though you've made yourself a rather valuable asset that people will leave unharmed here.
Take comfort in the fact that there are worse ways to die. [is. is that comforting? no.]
Plenty of nice people have been killed before, but considering the track record of this group it's not necessarily kindness people take into account. It's usefulness. Not useful enough, you're an easy target like Suoh. Too useful, you may become a target to eliminate the chances of being caught. You have a balance of the two as it stands.

immediately makes such a face
like Greed just kicked poor, sweet Maus in front of her.]
Not a zombie, undead. Zombie is such a negative word! I find it horribly offensive.
no subject
Sorry? [sheesh.] To someone undead then. Better?

[Saying this like it's a neat, helpful little lesson. But also, Greed? Your sandwich??]

[but they consider that.]
...all the more reason for your wish then, isn't it?
no subject
[Just saying. Beware the clams.]
... Yeah, it is. I don't know what I'm going to do if this doesn't pan out. And not just because of the crazy ancient order of knights.

[This is the point now.]
That's really nice of you to say? But not sure if it's true? Plenty of nice people have been killed before.

[SLOWLY, UNSURE.]
Was that a compliment? Because it sounds like you're saying I'm smart, but not.
no subject
Is that a problem?
[they unfortunately do not see that as a problem.]
