It's about trying to keep the number of casualties low as much as we can, right? But... with Childe still alive... I'm not sure how likely that'll be if we just keep letting him walk around.
[ she looks a little conflicted about this—because she agrees completely, but because her thoughts on this are a little cruel. she's not completely heartless, theoretically. ]
I believe it's a balance. If we kill people, it counts as a large indulgence, and we must indulge. But if too many people die, then there may be no one left to generate this 'fuel,' and the dead will certainly be consumed.
[ that's her guess, anyway. ]
Childe is a known and unrepentant killer, and I would rather see him dead. Not for justice, but to avoid such disaster. [ she doesn't want to wait around for him to kill someone, and the indulgence bonus would be nice. she's already decided this is what's best, so it's just a matter of executing it. ]
[ . . . . he nods at that, and he crosses his own arms as he leans back against the wall.]
... I don't think that there's really a thing like 'justice' here - at least, nothing that everyone can agree on. Where I come from, killing someone is a crime at all but... I don't believe that it's possible to just jail him and expect everything to work out here, you know?
Not when there's stuff like magic, items, curses....
I just don't want to put anyone else at risk just because no one can decide to take action against him.

I think I'm going to do something about it.
