I dunno if anyone's told you this, but everyone dies. No point in fussing over it.
[ It's said with no harshness, just a lazy grin over her shoulder as she continues to descend the stairs. ]
But you might want to take that with a grain of salt, or five. This may surprise you, but I've been accused of being reckless once or twice. [ Or five times, or ten. ]
But I like that! [ She laughs with delight at Scipio's words. ] That's what I've always wanted. To make a lasting difference, to know that I left the world a different place than when I entered it. And I mean, having a kickass song about how cool I am wouldn't hurt.
[ She finally reaches the end of the stairs, and leans on the wall, waiting. ] Man, if you wrote a song about me--That'd be so fucking cool. I'll have to find a way to repay you. One that isn't, probably, alla...this. [ A casual gesture at the pile of corpses that awaited them at the bottom of the stairs. ] Or talking your ear off about my personal philosophies. I just like chattin' with the newbies, you know? Alla this shit can be overwhelming and a lot of you guys come to us 'cause you ain't got a choice.
But I strolled on up to Vigil's Keep and told those suckers to pass the chalice over, 'cause I'm going to be a Warden. So I figure, it doesn't hurt to know that it's not all glum and sad and shit, you know?
