Briefly, I hesitate, before I close my eyes and take a breath.
It's hard for me to feel anything but weary anger regarding anyone connected with Beatrix and her work, but I am familiar enough with that side of my life to know it's not fair to hold her or anyone she ever worked with accountable for the things she did.
Though...
I still hold her accountable for most of it. Even if it's part of a mercenary's life to do what we're paid to do, most have lines and limits that Beatrix refuses to have.
If not for her raw skill and her shrewdness in her targets, she'd just be a ruffian or bandit at this point, not a true mercenary.
"I apologize for the offense. We are still recovering from the trauma of what we witnessed, and we are...trying to find some peace of mind."
