[perhaps, surprisingly-]

Mm. I'd like that.

[wants_the_phd]

[She smiles.]

...What about you? How do you think the pasture's changed you since you got here?

[dadinside]

[takes him a moment, but...]

I want to do more for the people around me.

[wants_the_phd]

What brought you to feel that way?

[dadinside]

They accepted me even though I've been on different teams. And a Weed.

I want to keep them safe.

[wants_the_phd]

Are you not used to being accepted?

[dadinside]

Just not used to being around people.

[wants_the_phd]

No?

What was your life like at home?

[dadinside]

I've been living with Acheron for three years. Before that, it was my father.

[wants_the_phd]

I thought you guys lived in the middle of a city?

How come you didn't interact with people? Were you hiding?

[dadinside]

Yeah.

[... busy being a shut-in and playing video games.]

[wants_the_phd]

I see...

I guess you'd have to keep a low profile as an assassin, huh? Or, so I assume. I don't know jack shit about what being an assassin is like.

Sounds exciting, though.

[dadinside]

[she's not wrong. though his complete lack of social skills and sheltered life style is also a huge hindrance.]

Having unnecessary contact with civilians isn't permitted.

[wants_the_phd]

Then, is Acheron an assassin, too?

[dadinside]

[nods]

That's how we met.

He was sent to track me down after I ran away.

[wants_the_phd]

What happened when he found you?

I can't imagine he turned you in.

[dadinside]

[he's silent for a moment because he's normally dodgy with questions but...

well.

she's seen. a lot. this shit is comparatively less personal.]

The organization would've disposed of him if he didn't find me. But I'm too valuable to my father. I was never in danger.

So I made a deal. Take on jobs for the organization while living on my own, until it became necessary for me to return.

Acheron came to live with me shortly after. His place got shot up trying to find me. And I don't like cleaning, and can't cook. Plus he's better at coming up with ideas. I just know how to kill. He sucks at that.

[... yes, he did just say he totally let Acheron live with him because he needed a maid. basically.]

[wants_the_phd]

[Acheron is a bad assassin... idk something about that kinda tracks somehow.]

Ah. Yeah, it's useful having someone around who takes care of that sort of thing. Our shepherd, Leviathan, is that person for us. The barn always looks nice, and we get delicious meals every day. It's pretty nice.

If I knew a person like that at home, I'd enjoy having them around, too. Especially if I had to look after a child for some reason. I'd much rather delegate that to someone else, frankly.

[dadinside]

[he's glad that she can relate.]

It was a lot easier letting Acheron do everything.

[rip his gaming time.]

[wants_the_phd]

I bet.

So how does an assassination organization work? Do you go after anyone, or just political figures? Can anyone hire you?

[dadinside]

Everything goes through my father. Anything that would benefit the organization. Like taking out rivals, people that owe us money, politicians, traitors... anyone that might do the organization harm, according to my father.

[even innocent people.]
