—isn't that risky, going against the contract like that? For yourself and for others? [That poor girl in white. That'll haunt her nightmares for a long time.]
Yeah, it is. [He's not going to pretend it's not.] I got real lucky that the bastard just wanted to beat up a teenager an' grabbed me instead of doin' what Blade's doing. But it was gonna kill me anyway, so what did I have to lose?
Very lucky. I'm very glad it didn't kill you, and that you fared, on the whole, better than Blade and those two poor students.
[A breath.]
I just...If it was holding something worse back. If breaking the deal meant, even if you were rescued, a nightmare that you could not awaken from. Would you have risked it, anyway?
[Ash makes a noise that means "sorry, that sucks". Because yeah. Yeah that sucks.]
I still am. But yeah, that's how I know how this is gonna go. Either we beat the shit outta that demon, or Blade dies. And I ain't about to let Blade die.

Not sure I'm the best person to answer that one.
[He doesn't know this woman, and anyway how do you explain the whole Krusnik thing to someone who wasn't involved?]
But probably. I was a kid when that fucker moved in.

[Another pause.]
I'm sorry. It must've been rough, readjusting afterward.
