...She should have gone to the wardens, though I can see why she wouldn't. Her brother's all right? Which vampires? And have they been dealt with? [A pause, then--] You're very close to them, aren't you. Ana and Rex.
Has it been dealt with by the wardens, I mean. Ana is being punished. It wouldn't be right that he attacked Rex without consequence from the people who are supposed to be supervising him. Who's his warden, do you know?
[Another pause while she debates how to say this.] In an emergency situation, in which you are present and their lives are threatened? You have my permission to use lethal force. Outside of those circumstances, should something happen to them that merits that kind of response, I expect you to come to me. Wardens as a whole might be incompetent, but I'm going to do my best by you, and murder motivated by revenge is unproductive self-indulgence, especially here.
