[ Squalo grins, as if to say "that's right". Ramsay could explain his musings aloud and he wouldn't even get offended. He'd always known he'd end up dead fairly early in his life. Things rarely went otherwise in his line of work. ]

[ But in this particular case... it had not been a fight that landed him in Hell. Not a sword duel, anyway. ]

Self-preservation is overrated. I'd rather have fun.

[ Might as well return the question. Could learn something new. ]
