“Zoooooo you’re a cheater, is vhat I’m hearing. Zat is just straight-up cheating at other people’s lives.”

"I..." She got flustered, crossing her arms. "How is that cheating? It's not like I use it to gain anything."
-
“Doesn’t change ze vact zat you don’t have to ask anyvone vat zey have done or anyzing. You instantly know who to avoid, so zat’s cheating.”
-
"What am I cheating? Does that make me a bad person to you?" She was obviously confused at this point, lowering the hood.
-
“Being a cheater does not make you a bad person. You are simply cheating at live. You know who is dangerous, zo you can automatically avoid zem. Cheating at live.”
-
"Oh okay, for a second I thought you disliked me or something." She weakly chuckled. "Sadly it doesn't stop bad people from shooting at me."
-
“Yes, but it allows you to ztay avay vrom zem in ze virst place. You know vat people do, so you can simply not talk or interact vith zem.”
-
"I mean, I guess. You do know that doesn't stop them from shooting from a distance though, right? I also can't exactly run at super speeds."
-
“Yeah, but zat doesn’t change zat ze ozers can’t really effect you, unlike most people.”
-
"Hmm. I won't deny it giving me a slight advantage over others when it comes to living. I just don't like the sound of being called a cheater."
-
“Being a cheater is never necessarily a bad zing, just remember zat. Zome people vould zay I’m a cheater because I can only die in one vay. Zose people are correct.”
-
"Thanks, that helps." She raised a brow at the one way to die thing. "Wait, you can only die in one specific way?"
-
“One very specivic vay, yes. Vew people know about it, zough.”
-
"That's more of a cheat than my ability. Though, I don't know what you had to go through to gain that boon in life."
-
“Oh, it was awvul. And no, I won’t go into detail, just take my vord. Or don’t, I don’t particularly care. Anyvays, vhat brings you to Dojoville?”
-
"Oh, y'know." The girl nervously laughed. "I have a friend here. I'm here for him because he's going through a rough time."
-
“Veally? Vhat kind of rough zings? Probably not going to zeek zem out, but it’d just me nice to know should I run into zem.”
-
"Just a uhh...an identity crisis of sorts. It's okay though, he's getting better." She smiled up at Huntress, she was a terrible lier.
-
“Vow, zat vas a pathetic attempt at lying. Lying is usually easy to detect anyways, but you’re just bad at lying.”
-
She sighed and shook her head. "I know, I'm terrible at it and it makes me feel horrible...sorry."
-
“Nozing to apologize vor. Iv you don’t vant to tell me, you don’t have to. I von’t vorce you.”
-
"I'm still really sorry about lying though, I shouldn't have. I should've just said it's personal business or something, but I don't know why, but I think I panicked and now I'm rambling...." The girl trailed off, gazing down.
-
“Listen. It’s okay. No vone is angry at you or upset. You didn’t do anyzing wrong. Just calm down.”
-
"Okay..." The girl took a deep breath. "I'm sorry....Wait, what am I even sorry about now?" She giggled quietly to herself.
-
“I zink you’re just an apologist. Or vhatever. Zere’s a vord zat sounds like zat zat means vhat I’m saying.”
-
"Yeah, well...." She trailed off again before looking around in confusion. "Why are we in a lingerie shop?"
