[assassino]

What else would you call them?

[molotov]

Sluts, mostly.

[assassino]

I have never heard this word.

[molotov]

What is your word for "drunken, disease-ridden vermin who will open her legs for anything with a beating heart"?

[assassino]

[Aww, that's mean. Common to his ears, but he's friends with so many prostitutes.]

Mignotta is likely what you are looking for.

[molotov]

[Molotov isn't talking about prostitutes :(]

Many of those.

[assassino]

[Yeah, but they've taught him to really respect women who have a lot of sex, so.]

Is it not their job to be tempting, or...?

[molotov]

If one is going to sleep with indiscriminate whores, one should not stoop down into the gutter.

[assassino]

In a time where women are equal to men, does it not follow that women should be able to sleep with whomever they wish, as men do?

[molotov]

Of course they may. This does not excuse being classless and disgusting.

[assassino]

I imagine he kept their company for pleasure and not comfort, then.

[molotov]

What do you mean, "comfort"?

[assassino]

I have never heard of a man going to a courtesan to soothe his soul, bella, only his body.

[molotov]

I do not understand what this means. What is the difference between pleasure and comfort, in this context?

[assassino]

Would he marry any of those women? That is what I am talking about.

[molotov]

Of course not.

[assassino]

Then why are you so bitter?

[molotov]

I am not... bitter. I am... it is an insult, and I do not like to be insulted.

[SHE IS SO BITTER, so very very bitter.]

[assassino]

An insult that he has had many lovers? Why?

[molotov]

An insult that, in my stead, he would seek out only the lowest dregs of womanhood. If that is what he likes, then what does that make me?

[assassino]

Bella, they do not compare to you. If he knows that you are irreplaceable, he would not even try to find another woman as lovely as you. Those women are just distractions.

[molotov]

[Molotov digests this for a moment, frowning.]

But what if that is what he likes? I would think it is not that much harder to find a woman with even a modicum of respect for herself.

[Especially not for Brock, who has some indescribable allure.]

[assassino]

Firstly, many of those women are destitute and desperate to support themselves –– I work with many as an Assassin, and they are excellent allies, despite their low status. Many are drawn to powerful men... and they can be difficult to resist.

Perhaps Samson does not want to find other women. Perhaps he passes time with them in meaningless trysts while longing only for you.

[molotov]

You are thinking of prostitutes. Samson has dallied with those too, but I mean women that could be had by any man. For free.

[But she's clearly thinking hard about this.]

[assassino]

[Pointedly]

Even then –– women are insatiable, can you blame them for seeking out men? What matters is that he cares only for you.
