[Ambition waves a hand.]

Have you seen how insecure some boys get if a girl doesn't back down from something? It's like, think about why a girl being confident bothers you.

[Ambition doesn't seem too happy to hear that... but there's a minuscule nod a moment later.]

I've heard that before. From some of you.

[ghhh]

It's just - easier said than done. With everything else going on here.

I'll be glad when it's over.

[i mean, everyone will be, because when it's over people won't be dying anymore]

[Her voice is very serious sounding.]

You know he hasn't actually had anyone killed yet, right?

Just because he's willing to if he has to doesn't mean he's going to have to. [Ambition sounds... really unhappy.] If you don't cut it out, I'm going to get really mad. You don't know him.
