We have found the— [ A pause, and quieter, to the side: "What is the word?" A heavy sigh from further off, which sounds kinda like Loki. "It is vandal." ] —Vandals! Who ruined things. We found them, even though Roslyn would not help.

I have named them stump for hands, because stump means not to have a hand. [ she sounds so pleased with her own cleverness. ]

If anyone needs to find and punish someone, then you should ask Loki. He is very good at it.

When's that going to be?

Yeah. But our war isn't with that guy. Not to mention, it's only "our" war when we choose to make it that way. The rest of the time, it's a war we're dragged into without being asked politely if we minded.

He'll have to see, won't he?

( Then, he shrugs. )

It is a situation befitting of... "making the best of it".

Maybe the war is. But crippling someone isn't.

Okay, good. I'm glad. Because that would be way over the line.

[withouthumanity]

( Loki, for a moment, actually seems relieved that at least someone believes him in his words. )

I see. What line is that?
