We're assassins feels like a stupid answer, but the question throws him for a little loop, kiddie-coaster style. There are people out there who only understand killing as it's spoken about on the evening news, and there are people who have lived it. This chick has killed and she doesn't get it?

"It's not a sport." A thread of intensity comes through, taut like wire. "It's real. It's proof you lived. If you just shake hands and walk away, you never had a stake."
