"No, it did not." The answer is firm as he turns back to Imenry, his eyes showing full confidence in the short response. He turns away and fold his arms loosely, his dagger still clutched in his hands. "When you can look at death in the eye, you can make peace with yourself or at least the illusion of it. Prepare for it. You can tell yourself 'this might be it' or 'this is my defining moment'. That in the choices you make, you hold the key to your own life and death. Choosing the choices I did, I knew the dangers I would be in. When it comes to deception... The point of it all is making the person never prepare, never know when they are to die. There is no warning. Only a dagger in their back or the sensation of a poison rapidly going through their system. That is, if they are 'lucky' enough to not be killed in their sleep."
The Crow pauses for a moment, considering. "Huh," he states as he looks down, as if realizing something. He swiftly changes topics, as if the odd intermission never happened.
Pacing around the rock, as if he were now guarding it instead of the entire camp, the elven man looks around as he speaks in a hushed tone. "As for the death counts? It's hard to say. How many people die due to Antivan schemes over a hundred years? Sure, the Blights are the fastest form of death while they are occuring, but how many people die during the times of supposed peace? How many Crows are asked to kill someone for a variety of reasons... How many Fereldens kill one another in cold blood in some sort of duel? It is easier to deal with the Archdemon because it is a threat that comes and goes, a being to blame for pointless suffering and the death of the innocent. When it is an ongoing issue from own greed and lack of control..." The killer pauses to give a smile, though it has a sad appearance to it. "well, that's a different sort of beast all together, I would suppose. So in the end, I suppose you are right... Nothing at all in common."
And with that, Savio goes back to his original position and seats him as he was once more.
