[color=silver]"It's naive of you to assume they will learn. Once again, there are some people who won't change, no matter what. Given any chance and they will repeat their previous actions. There is no cleaner and more effective answer to that than execution."[/color] Amaris said, looking to Ludvig with a rather hostile expression. [color=silver]"Just like a cancerous cell, excise it cleanly and effectively, to give it as little chance as possible of growing back."[/color] Amaris repeated, agreeing with Mirielle. [color=silver]"Those who knowingly follow evil aren't just 'misguided' they are as evil as the one leading. They might not be the one leading, but where others see evil, they see an opportunity, either to further their own goals and for their own benefit. When the leader falls, there will be no shortage of those who see it not as a warning for them to cease their evil ways, but as an opportunity to take their predecessor's place. It was their choice to 'embrace' evil. They should be prepared to the consequences of their actions."[/color] Amaris finished. [color=silver]"Regarding your comment about cursed robes and your overfamiliarity... I would advise against testing your luck with me, Ludvig... I will not repeat myself, I am certain you were paying close enough attention to our conversation to have heard my words while I was talking about [i]second chances[/i]... If you still think my punishment was a fair one, then you are also a part of the problem."[/color] Amaris hissed, looking at Ludvig with a hostile stare. The emphasis on 'second chances' seemed to be a bit too deliberate to be a mere coincidence and not a veiled warning for Ludvig. [/color]
