[Finally, his face crinkles in displeasure. The ensuing silence is the longest yet, and his answer is curt when he breaks it.]

I don't want to talk about it.

[robopriest]

...Okay. I won't pry.

[This is more than he's gotten out of Rufus over the past two weeks, so he knows this isn't something to just shake the man over to give up all his secrets.]

Anyways, are you going to kill him?

[soulus]

. . . Of course.

[robopriest]

And what will happen then? Will you be free?

[soulus]

That's the least of my concerns. I need him dead for something else.

[robopriest]

For...another person's bounty, I'm guessing?

[soulus]

Even if he has a bounty on his head, I would still kill him for free.

[It's definitely something else, but his clipped tone suggests that that's all he'll volunteer.]
