On naval battles and Greek fires.
If you mean to ask me if I do regret the course of my choices of employment, I don't. I am well aware of the dangers as much as Nanny is aware of hers. I'd rather be here than on the streets wandering aimlessly. Do you know what freedom is, mundane? I do. It means that I am no longer being observed, restrained, and manipulated. To me, there is no greater freedom. I have a duty, don't I? I am the cook, after all. To ignore the rest of us who chose to be on here of our own free will while speaking of no lesser evils is hypocritical in my eye. If you are willing to kill another being, then you should not turn your nose down at others who do the same.
Do I pity Connor? Perhaps. But suffice to say, he should be old enough to know that the world does not come in black and white. I might be nineteen years old, but I know better than to have the concept of only "good and evil" exist in this world. No. Everything comes in greys and every being is capable of true horrors as well as goodness. I will not forget this, especially when I've been told there's no lesser of evils. There will always will be lesser of evils. I might wait for time to pass where his naivete is horribly crushed. His actions might be pure of heart, but that does not make him no less blind to arrogance as any other man.
I promise you, I will not forget this and I may not be as patient the next time.

A little boy trouble, is it?

Hmph. "Boy trouble"? No. [Alice doesn't really get that phrase.] Nothing more than butting heads with someone's core beliefs.

He is a boy is he not? And he is troublesome isn't he?
