Think that's the point.

[ashenvaliant]

[ THE FLATTEST FUCKIN' LOOK. ]

I'm aware.

[guestservices]

[ they

duck their head and start snickering ]

Sorry! Hah, couldn't help it. [ a little gallows humor there but you know ] Anyway, I was just wondering. Your hands were pretty clean in the other place, too, weren't they?

[ashenvaliant]

I didn't hate anyone enough to murder them. And there were plenty of other ways to get my wish.

[ ... ]

If I'd figured out Endorsi had murdered Luca though, maybe I would've.

[guestservices]

Mmm... that's your hostage, isn't it?

[ they tilt their head. ] So you're more of a getting vengeance guy than anything else. [ a beat. ] Me too.

[ashenvaliant]

Yes, it is.

[ he shrugs. ] In some cases. I don't enjoy killing, but I've done it when I feel it needs to happen. Their life for mine, or the lives of one of my people being threatened.

Frequent revenge-taker now, are you?

[guestservices]

I wouldn't say frequent! Jeez. Unless you count a prank or two.

[ there's a little mischief as they say that, though. ] But I'm the same as you, Yuri. I've done it for other reasons. Done it for vengeance reasons. Neither feel good, but one was better than the other.

[ashenvaliant]

Ah, pranksters. The dangerous type.

[ danger danger. ] One is easier to reconcile, if you have a motivation for it you can focus on. Better than being paid for it.

[guestservices]

[ they make a little bit of a noise, sort of a grimace. ]

Agreed.

[ashenvaliant]

[ shaking hands in boo to assassination work. ]

It pays, but it's never simple. Conscience happens, sometimes.

[guestservices]

Conscience happens. Conscience seems to happen a lot, with this group.

[ashenvaliant]

Conscience is a pain. But not unnecessary. I'd be worse off without it.

[guestservices]

Think most people would be. Nobody's heart is made of iron.

[ashenvaliant]

No, sometimes it's made of worse things.

[guestservices]

Definitely. Think I'd rather somebody with a soft heart, every time.

[ashenvaliant]

I don't think a soft heart does you any better than one made of steel. Everything in moderation, or something like that.

[guestservices]

Moderation, yeah.

[ this makes them laugh, for some reason. it's fine. ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ :beegun: ]

[ he just raises an eyebrow. ]

[guestservices]

[ why are you beegunning me ]

What?

[ashenvaliant]

[ because ]

Bad experiences with people doing things in moderation?

[guestservices]

[ tell me your secrets im a mod ]

Nah. Just not much of a moderation bird.

[ashenvaliant]

[ what secrets :o ]

All or nothing? That’s fine for a number of things, but sometimes you do have to be a little slow and patient.

[guestservices]

[ shoots you with my beegun ]

Haha, true. A lesson learned from your indulgences?

[ashenvaliant]

[ sweet beedom. (bee freedom) ]

Eh, those were mostly about doing as many of them as you could to cover your bases. Family friendly indulgences or not.

[guestservices]

Not particularly moderate.
