It may seem out of place for her boisterous laughter but when he tells her why he is there she can not help it. She covers her mouth to stifle the sound. He was sent there to kill her.
"You are muscle for hire, hm?" Her laughter faded and she gave him a hard glare. "You left your family, threw away your nobel knightly honor, to be a paid killer?"
Honor. Loyalty. Duty. Where had he lost that? Selene had done things over hundreds of years that had left a stain on her she could never wash off and she never really tried. She was who she was, that was that. But Lothoro was defined in her mind by such simple words that to know he was here to kill her, likely paid to do so, made her angry.
"Whatever it is they are paying you I will double it and you will forget you ever saw my face."
