I also find my sisters irritating sometimes, sir. If I left every time something that irritated me happened, I'm afraid I would have to live completely alone in the woods.

We owe the Master a great deal. I understand it might be difficult to understand. Even if that were not the case... I would never actually leave my sisters behind.
You are right, sir. It isn't any of your business. [ she shakes her head because that was maybe Too Dismissive, so: ] It is not something I like to share with guests.
It's not just that. I mean, it's... kind of worrying, I guess. Peach told me that you guys can still get hurt here. It just must be a really good reason.
It is, sir. For us, at the very least. [ she tilts her head ] Though I suppose we have been here so long, I do not quite fear injury, even knowing it can happen.
No, not just you! And I know they have. I guess it's just... I don't know, defending yourself against random people who want to punch you for some reason seems different then defending yourself against a horde of rats.
[Not that they need to worry about rats specifically anymore, but. That sure is the level that everyone is already on.]

No, I get that, but... You know, in general. It kind of seems like this place isn't so great, you know?

It might not be any of my business, but... What do you owe him for, exactly?

You are right, sir. It isn't any of your business. [ she shakes her head because that was maybe Too Dismissive, so: ] It is not something I like to share with guests.

...Right, sorry. Never mind.

[He looks clearly surprised, but after a second he realizes that might be a little bit insulting.]
—Not that you don't seem like you could.
no subject
My sisters have defended themselves fine against a guest already, haven't they? [ she tilts her head ] Or are you surprised about myself only?
no subject
[Not that they need to worry about rats specifically anymore, but. That sure is the level that everyone is already on.]
no subject
True, it is not quite the same. Still, I don't believe there is any need for you to concern yourselves about us. We have lived this long.

[His tone says he is absolutely ready for her to tell him they aren't friends.]
no subject
If that is what you wish, sir.
[ get better friends, hunter. ]
no subject
[Absolutely not.]
no subject
I am simply surprised you would choose to say so, given the circumstances.
no subject
[But the sticking point for him, really:]
You didnāt choose the rules, you just put them on the plaque. Right?
no subject
Yes, I suppose that is accurate.
