"Alright, Theo. I've got this."
Silver stayed by Theo's side, trying to sense any sort of emotion that could come from a sentient creature.

“I just tried. I can’t kill this goddamned thing... You do it.” [b]He tosses her two things. A dagger and a vial of some liquid.[/b] “We got two choices. We kill the thing and collect the bounty, or keep the thing and heal it back up and domesticate it and try to get a better price on the pet or zoo market. You decide. I’m too sick of this shit to even care.”
-
"...Fine." She took the dagger and enhanced her strength greatly for a split second as she easily stabbed it through the lizard's skull.
-
[b]The lizard would die, and Theodynn would grab its corpse by the tail, hauling it over his shoulder.[/b] “Let’s go.”
-
Silver took a depe breath before following, averting her gaze from the corpse. "You have anger issues."
-
“Yep. Beating the shit out of these things is how I get it out of my system.”
-
"You should get an actual punchimg bag. Or maybe hit me, but don't hit poor creatures."
-
“Well, I hit you and you tried to stand your ground. And I do have a punching bag.”
-
"W-Well, if there's anything I can do to help you get that anger out on me instead of the animals I'll happily do it."
-
“The animals would kill me anyways, so why do you care if I beat the shit out of them?”
-
"I...Just hit me or something instead, please? I don't care, I can heal..." She sighed.
-
“I’m literally paid to beat the shit out of things. It’s what I do for money. You won’t change anything.”
-
"But can't you do it more efficiently? Like, straight up kill them? Please, I'll do anything in return."
-
“I’m given specific orders by some people. This contract said to make it suffer. Didn’t tell you because I know you wouldn’t go with it.”
-
"Ugh! You people are disgusting. I'm not helping if we'll be torturing animals!"
-
“It’s not always animals, and it’s not always making them suffer. It just depends on what the contract is. And you wouldn’t want to abandon Rian, now would you?”
-
"W-Well, no. I'm not going on these bounties though. I refuse to partake."
-
“You’re still going to need to make some money. This is the best way.”
-
"I guess I'll make it a little slower. Though, I can get a second job to speed it up a little..." She grinned a little. "I think my friend Nat can help me with that."
-
“You gonna ask her for money or something? Need to do the work for yourself, girlie. No work doesn’t deserve any play.”
-
She giggled, shaking her head. "So many assumptions there. I was planning on getting a job through her connections."
-
“Job through a crimelord isn’t gonna be any better than my bounty-hunting.”
-
"Crimelord?" She sighed. "Stop assuming. It won't be illegal or violent."
-
“What? You gonna be a prostie?” [b]He laughs, looking over at her.[/b] “Probably the worst thing you could do.”
-
"Wh-Why? You don't think I could?" She sounded offended now for...obvious reasons. "People love me."
-
“Just saying that I’ve been hired to clean up my fair share of chunks of dead prostitute. People don’t like to pay.”
