Phoenix.
Next time you want to enlist me to join one of your little vengeance parties, don't.

We'll talk about this more when I get out of here.

What?
Are you serious? But you said...
[She grits her teeth.]
He deserves to be tortured more than dead. When he comes back - if he comes back - he'll be back without a scratch. We need to do something to render him in bed rest instead.

It definitely hurt.

What.]
Why are you the only one paying the consequences for it?
[Yeah. She was paying attention.]

Ironic, given that I'm the one with the least emotional investment in the entire thing. The brat needed to die, of course, and I was all too happy to help the ungrateful bastards
[What the hell, where did that come from. Backspace backspace.]
the ones the Phoenix rounded up to do it, but I didn't have half as solid a reason as I'm certain they did.

Well, former man. Not that Ashelin knows anything about those unfortunate consequences.]
Who else was involved?
[Because if she can figure out the emotional interest in each one, she'll be making her rounds soon.]

It shouldn't be that difficult to figure out, Baroness, even for a woman of your woefully inferior intelligence.

Thanks anyway. Have fun, Razer.
[Not.]

You want to know something? Then for Mar's sake, bitch, you FIGURE IT OUT.

Arguing with you. Trying to have a decent conversation with you. Actually trying anything with you has proven to be nothing except a waste of my time. We'll never speak the same language. We'll never be on the same page. We'll never be on the same wavelength.
It gets to a point where I ask myself why the fuck I even try. I don't ever need your help. And yes, I would have figured it out eventually on my own. There's no sense in defending myself or even chiding you, because it's not like you give a damn anyway. You've made yourself very clear. A good number of times.
That's about it.
[Amazing. Because Ashelin's never that upfront with him.]

He lets her argue, contributes every time, because he likes winding her up and then bursting whatever bubble she blew herself for protection.
This kind of forwardness is strange, coming from her. It puts him on-edge. As a result, it takes several minutes before he responds.]
And what brought this sudden bout of honesty on, Baroness? I know how you feel about me, of course, but actually hearing you say it is both refreshing and unnerving.

If it was ever your intent to permanently ward me off, you've succeeded.
[She'll let him have his last word that he always likes having and leave it at that.]

You really can't even fathom my honest intentions, can you? If you truly think I'd ever want to 'ward you off' then you aren't half as smart as I gave you credit for.
