major canon rewatch needed but--

[traicio]

Your whims are dangerous, my dear girl. You may laugh all you wish, but considering the time and place upon which you jest I would consider it a word of advice. It is rather easy to slip, is it not?

[ Easy for him, given his past. The past which the mention of a game makes him caution on - it's too close to heart ]

I lost a lot of things then. I wouldn't wish to see you lose more.

They can't possibly be all that dangerous for her. She's simply idle and looking for harmless amusement on her part. You should, perhaps, reserve that concern for yourself. We are the only ones affected by their thoughtless whims.

[traicio]

Her whims would affect a far many more, my dear. I may not be able to stop her, but I can warn any other that she may seek to harm. [ Through him ]

[thecontrary]

I don't believe I quite understand what you mean.

[traicio]

She would use me as I used to be. A weapon. A killer.

[thecontrary]

A killer? [She's taken aback.] She'd be quite right to hide you back in her mind and never let you see the light of day.

[traicio]

That, my dear, was where I had been, and where I would see myself staying should there be a choice.

[thecontrary]

You do have a choice, to not be a killer if you so desire. She only has as much control as you allow.

[traicio]

Oh, if that were so it would give me joy. It isn't quite as simple as mere hope.

[thecontrary]

We are masters of our own fate. If you honestly wished to not be a killer, you wouldn't be so.

[traicio]

You should think so, and I would hope that could be true. [ But it's not, not when it isn't only him ]

[discretely]

Rut roh. Don't look now, princess, but I think Mr. Clean here is thu-reatening you.

[traicio]

Is that what this is? [ He gives a small chuckle ] I had hoped just to caution her.

[gunslinging]

You're not nearly as intimidating as you want to be. You do realize that, right?

[traicio]

I recall your first impression being something different.
