What about the part where you called yourself property?

[ shots fired!! ]

[recrypt]

What I think on the matter has little bearing on how we're treated when I come from, Herr Phoenix.

[slobjection]

Doesn't make it right.

[ she holds his gaze, then just

deliberately takes a bite out of her s'more.

since when has whether or not something's right played into the making of law and public policy. ]
