No, I don't think everyone is as reasonable as me. [He wishes they were; if they would just think about the repercussions that came with this attack, then a more peaceful resolution would be tried first. Light isn't a doormat, he won't turn his back out of fear of being attacked, but working with someone to reduce their enemies is the optimal solution. Sadly, he doesn't really go the way of a criminal group, he doesn't have his own personal army.] But not everyone is as powerful as you. You came here like the rest of us, with nothing. Since then, you've become a leader, and it isn't through force; few of the monsters that follow you are weak.

Even before I came, you didn't want to hurt the citizens. Take it a step further. Agree to defend against a monster attack that would hurt those citizens. [His eyes closed, as if he hates to say the words that come from his mouth, the taste bad and lingering on his tongue.] As for the Bloody Bones, they'll likely attack to. If they're killed in the crossfire, it's unavoidable.

[Brown eyes reopen to center on Greed. There's still nothing challenging there, but he's not showing weakness either. Trying to fight an alpha head-on may not gain their cooperation, but baring your throat didn't earn the necessary respect. It's a delicate, intricate balance.]

I'm asking you to do the same thing you've been doing: lead them. You'll just have a different enemy now, at least if it comes to that.
