[fishwife]

[Her expression turns somewhat serious.]

She was apparently a slave. We're trying to condition her out of it, but it's hard.

[quieter, sharper:]

I shouldn't have to tell you what happens to people who take advantage of little girls.

[eyeforaneye]

[ He gives her the flattest look he can muster, which is pretty damn flat. ]

Why the hell would I need to take advantage of a child? There's nothing she can do for me that I can't do better for myself.

[fishwife]

[She continues giving him a stare like she's seeing right through him... but eventually, she relents.]

Congrats, you passed the test.

If you see anyone giving her trouble though, tell me. Immediately. [And in a very unsubtle gesture, she draws her finger across her neck.]

[eyeforaneye]

[ So polls regarding feelings on cruelty to children constitutes as a common test here. Good to know. ]

If I see anyone unduly abusing a child then I'll intervene myself. I don't have an issue passing the information along when I see you, however. [ 'Unduly' is the keyword here. ]

[fishwife]

[... unduly. Well, to be fair, Greed is a child and sometimes he needs his ass kicked.]

Fair enough. [She examines her claws.] Need a tour?

[eyeforaneye]

It depends.

What's the likelihood of someone else attacking me for walking into a room?

[fishwife]

[She rubs her chin.]

Not too likely. The other people here are pretty easygoing. Good for you, huh?

[eyeforaneye]

I see. [ ... ]

Then again, I'm not easygoing.
