XElroy: ...an' after that, it was all just awful. But I still don't see why I should feel bad. She deserved it.
Lena: No, she didn't. It takes a lot to deserve killing, Elroy. Young, stupid, and vicious ain't barely a start.
Elroy: ...But it wasn't my fault! I thought it was a bad idea from the start!
Lena: did you say so?
Elroy: Um, not exactly....
Lena: Did you tell Denny you weren't going to be involved? Did you walk away?
Elroy: No, but -- I went and got Murdoch! I couldn't a done that if I left him alone!
Lena: But if you hadn't been there, he might not have gone at all. It takes nerve to walk up to a door all alone. You didn't do anything wrong, Elroy. But you didn't do near enough right.
Elroy: But, what if he hadn't stopped, and I hadn't been there? How do you know what right is? All the choices were bad!
Lena: Oui. We call that 'growing up'.
Lena: No, she didn't. It takes a lot to deserve killing, Elroy. Young, stupid, and vicious ain't barely a start.

I have a cold. It's nearly June, for god's sake! Aren't there laws against this?
Anyway, new storyline on Monday, with less of the scary and more of the funny. Probably. Thanks to everyone who's said nice things about this one -- it was a startling amount of work, at points, and it's good to know it was appreciated.
