Iaira scoffed, her eyes still locked in his, a provocative glare. Once he touched her, she recoiled as if bitten by a snake. Talk about familiar.
'In my view, Commander,'It is more important that innocence be protected than it that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished,' her voice had grown cold icicles and just as sharp. 'But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the people will say 'Whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection.' Air sucked in dry. A deep breath. 'And if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the people, that would be the end of security whatsoever.'
His mention of Ulysses had flared up something inside her. Something primal. A sense of...spite. The pyromancer had mocked her before about her loyalty to her companions but in fact, she prided in it. If Iaira could not so much as protect the men alongside her, she was no better than mindless rulers sending their armies to the slaughter. Like sheep.
'Who do you think bestows upon you the right to deliver Justice? Do you perceive the notion that you yourself are not a sinner? Go on. Look at the man you're holding in your dungeon. Question him. Torture him. You will find him to be purer than any of your men are. Certainly purer than you. You, Weyellin,' her voice had risen without her taking notice, 'will be condemning an innocent.'
Iaira settled back, her skin brushing the soft headstand, covered in crimson velvet.
'I don't mind social unrest. I excel in causing it. Truth be told, a part of me hopes you'll make that one misstep. Something tells me it would not be the very first time.' The assassin spat the last words out.
She chortled dryly at his last remark, her voice raised one last time, 'Look at your people, Commander. See the cold flames of rebellion taking over your precious city. And clench your teeth as you deliver more death unto "sinners".'
