That's all fine and well, but why? I fail to see the point.

[bearswitness]

I don't like him I loathe him in fact what else is needed.

[seamend]

And you'd be happy if you saw him dead?

[bearswitness]

No but I would at least enjoy it why are you offering.

[seamend]

No! I don't kill, I don't believe violence is an end-all problem solution.

[bearswitness]

No it isn't but you'll take it up sooner or later anyway.

[seamend]

No. I won't. I don't understand why you think everyone has to stoop to that level. You certainly don't. [ small>ur better than that, man ]

[bearswitness]

Now why in the world do you think that.

[seamend]

Because you aren't cruel. For all the complaints I have yet to see you actually hurt anyone out of spite.

[bearswitness]

It's interesting you say that do you know how many lives I've taken.

[seamend]

Well, considering how long you said you've been alive, you're going to say quite a lot, aren't you?

[bearswitness]

No but I'm going to tell you that it's more than I've ever bothered to count.

They're all very insignificant in retrospect.

[seamend]

Insignificant because you lost count, or insignificant because the deaths did not matter to you?

[bearswitness]

Both.

[seamend]

...

But somehow I don't think you're saying you chose any of those deaths, Eshkol.

[bearswitness]

Do you think that makes it better awfully nice of you. Some call that "misguided" don't they which one would you prefer I use?

[seamend]

[ She sighs and there's a shake of her head; how many times has she been called that? ]

Call it what you want. But killing because you have to is very different from killing because you want to.

[bearswitness]

Only for so long. After a while there's little difference.

[ or maybe someone just forgot what the difference feels like. ]

[seamend]

Really? Then who exactly have you killed here, in so far?

It certainly wasn't any of the trolls. Or that other attack on you. Some would say you'd even be justified in those cases.

[bearswitness]

Oh shut up one of their friends would have come for revenge and I'd have to kill them too or constantly be bothered by them it's a long annoying cycle once you start it.

[seamend]

I've known lesser men who wouldn't give it a second thought.

[bearswitness]

Stop that.

[seamend]

Stop what?

[bearswitness]

Stop trying to fit me into something you approve of you'll only disappoint yourself.

[seamend]

Is it such a crime to think you're not a bad person? You're very honest, Eshkol. If you wanted to hurt anyone I think you would have done so.
