What a wonderful way to put it! I shall recall that eloquent phrase for later. It's quite snappy.

I must spend a lot of time thinking of what justice is, as the Kree High Accuser.

The line between warrior and philosopher should always be a thin one. Power must be used wisely, to be deserved. That is a lesson a sorcerer must hold close to their heart, too.

It is not my job to philosophize. My purpose is merely to seek the truth.

A philosopher would describe their purpose in those exact terms.

You were just unaware of how keen a philosopher you are.

You misunderstand. I seek the truth of crimes, or potential crimes. I serve as the measure of the law. Law is not truth, it is agreement. I look for violations of that agreement

And you spend a lot of time thinking of what justice is.

Understandable, as no set of laws can encapsulate the entirety of the potential of the universe.

Of course I spend a long time thinking upon it. It is my duty.

IT is more that laws are fickle, especially with a new Emperor. They may change.

They do say that laws are like sausages.

[ He chooses not to elaborate because he expects her trying to fathom it will be cute. ]

I am certain I do not know what you mean.

If you hazard a guess, I shall tell you how close you are.

It is a large piece of meat?

[ It takes a while for Y to reply. That’s too cute. ]

I’m afraid now I’m lost. Though I devote all my mind to the task, I must ask- In what way is the law a big piece of meat?

I am describing a sausage.

Which, as they say, is like the law.

[ Forgive him. She’s too cute, he can’t help himself. ]

You really should explain this to me.

Perhaps it is one of those secrets I told you that can make your head explode.

You are a frustrating man.

Oh, I am sorry. You're just so cute, it takes more mental fortitude than a mere mortal like myself possesses to resist teasing you.

You are aware I could crush your head with my hammer, are you not?

You could.

But I trust that your sense of justice would lead you to would consider that punishment excessive.

There is indeed no suitable punishment in Kree law for annoyances. Not even a welcomed annoyance.

Well, so long as it is welcomed... there is an Earth tradition regarding it.

It is referred to as 'making it up to you', a form of voluntary reparation based upon the degree of annoyance.

As the injured party, how would you rate your irritation between 1 and 10? With 1 being 'charmed' and 10 being 'violent.'

Somewhere in the middle. Perhaps exactly in the middle. Neither violent nor charmed.

Not even a little charmed? I need to make it up to you more than I thought!

I have some ideas. Do you have a free day sometime in the near future?
