[Dan notes that Price didn't answer his question.]

Before I came here, I hunted monsters for a living. Some wraith or banshee or whatever would start tearing up a town, I'd go, try and see if it could be resolved peacefully, and if not... [Dan makes a motion with his hand like firing a gun. He looks quite somber.] Sometimes humans, too, magicians and the like.

[Dan looks Price up and down, making the gesture as subtle as possible. He feels under a microscope here; he'd prefer not to subject the Counselor to the same discomfort. The Counselor isn't much smaller than him, maybe only off by an inch and some pounds, but Dan knows he was raised to feel comfortable fighting no matter what his limitations. Other places that build soldiers prioritize mass and strength.]

It is what it is. If I don't go after them, they'll keep killing, or someone who ain't as friendly as me will get them.
