<em>"So, you're saying imprisonment is enough for even the worst of souls? But, if it isn't, where do you draw the line? For what acts? And for how many times? How evil must a creature be for the act of killing it to be  a just act?"<br/><br/>The Vrock loves to test his mistress philosophically, contrasting with his more brutish, bloodthirsty counterpart, Bonesaw, who seems only to test her patience.<br/><br/>"Intent? I've heard you humans have a saying... the road to Hell is paved with good intentions? I'm sure Reaver would agree... Kings becoming tyrants and despots, oppressing all those that spells defined as 'evil', no matter how evil the individual is, in the name of preserving harmony and peace... How hard is it to go from that to oppressing the chaotic? And, by then, will not something in the hearts of good people cry out? And, soon enough, all are oppressed. That sort of thing."<br/><br/>Again, the sinister, knowing smile, but he shrugs, showing he doesn't expect an answer from the mortal girl, at least not right now.<br/><br/>"And thank you. If I run across anything of import in these tomes that I think you may have missed, I'll pass it along."<br/><br/>The baubau is, expectedly, in the training room, hacking away with incredible force at one of the thankfully self-regenerating dummies, a look of mild distaste on his face, though Atelia knows why already: much of the fun of it is lost on him without blood or cries of pain.</em>
