Grr, we lost him! Split up and search, boys!
Don't let him get away!
Ugh. They really are a persistent pack of scoundrels.
Ah!
Argh! Someone shot me!
Yuri! Over here!
I think we're good. They won't chase us this far.
Looks like I was just in time. Are you hurt?
So long as my face is fine, the rest of me doesn't
[cdb]matter—that's the real moneymaker, you know.
And I appreciate the save, by the way.
You never change. Anyway, care to tell me why those
[cdb]thugs were after you?
Oh, just a little disagreement among businessmen.
Happens all the time.
This is exactly why I said you had to find a different
[cdb]way to make money!
If you're going to lecture me, I'd prefer the arrow
[cdb]you gave my friend back there. Also, if you disagree
[cdb]with my methods, why save me in the first place?
You could have left me to reap the consequences of
[cdb]my actions and had one less villain in the world.
I'm not lecturing you because I think you're a villain.
I've no right to call you evil anyway.
I just don't want to see you endanger yourself.
Sometimes the only way to get anything done is by
[cdb]putting yourself in harm's way.
You should know. Or I suppose you wouldn't, what
[cdb]with your being an upstanding knight and all now.
You should know. Or I suppose you've forgotten what
[cdb]it's like to wallow in the mud with the rest of us.
Trust me, I know. I can't forget the past no matter
[cdb]how hard I try.
But I still think what you're doing is wrong.
Not only are you hurting other people,
[cdb]you're disregarding your own well-being.
I chose this life of my own accord,
[cdb]and I take pride in what I do.
If I get hurt in the process, that's just part of the deal.
And if I'm caught and the townspeople hurl
[cdb]stones and fruit as I march to my execution,
I'll still die with a smile on my face because—
OK, enough! This is the reason why I can't keep
[cdb]letting you do this!
...
You want to protect the people important to
[cdb]you, right? Well, I want to make sure you don't end
[cdb]up dead and covered in rotting fruit!
So if you still insist on being a reckless fool,
I'm going to protect you anyway!
Even though it means siding with a filthy villain?
I'm not about to help you commit crimes—
[cdb]and if it looks like you're going to hurt someone,
I'll do everything in my power to stop you.
I just... I just want to save my friend, OK?
I truly don't get you sometimes. Also can't believe
I'm going to fall for a cornball line like that.
