I definitely did not get training for that.

[ she purses her lips ]

As an assassin.

[therewerefifty]

[Huh. That's... familiar.]

I was not aware mediation was required for such a role.

[She sounds somewhere between curious and dry.]

[sassy_assassin]

Yeah, well, it helps to be able to control your pain and maintain your focus and detachment, I guess.

[therewerefifty]

Mmm. Good qualities for an assassin. [For a swordswoman, too.]

[sassy_assassin]

And for an ex-assassin.

[therewerefifty]

And for an ex-assassin. [Agreeably.] By choice, I assume?

[sassy_assassin]

Yep. It wasn't really my thing.

[therewerefifty]

I would be saddened if it were your thing. [Though she smiles at that, albeit ruefully.] It appears you and I have that in common.

[sassy_assassin]

That's too bad. Wanna talk about it?

[therewerefifty]

There's little to tell. Someone I cared for greatly asked me to kill for him. I thought love would be enough motivation. It was not.

[Old news. She ended up killing for him anyway, but there's a difference between defending someone's life and going out to seek a victim.]

[sassy_assassin]

Huh. I fell in love too. But mostly I was trying to survive.

[therewerefifty]

[...]

We appear to have a few things in common. [She's... partly amused and partly kind of sorry.]

[sassy_assassin]

I guess so. That's too bad.

[therewerefifty]

It is... just history for you now, I hope.

[sassy_assassin]

For the most part. You?

[therewerefifty]

Very much so. [In all ways. There's no going back.] I suppose the Fleet is a place to start afresh.

[sassy_assassin]

Good. I'm glad for you, then. I'm not sure I needed a place to start new but at least it's good for something.

[therewerefifty]

It sounds like you've already made a new life for yourself elsewhere. [She smiles faintly.] A very unique one, at that.

[sassy_assassin]

Well, I never wanted to be boring.

[therewerefifty]

Sometimes I think it might be nice. But I'll settle for obscure.
