[It's a very rare occurrence when someone actually brightens at the idea of flaying, usually that topic tends to have the opposite effect with people. Okay, maybe Squalo's full reaction isn't a full-on endorsement, but it's still more than he expects than most people. There's usually a lot of frowning and disgust, but also fear in their eyes, which Ramsay appreciates. That reaction is fun, but it's even more interesting to deal with someone that at least is fine with flaying.

Rare breed and all, if you're not a Bolton.
