"I guess it depends on the type of advice I'm giving," she says thoughtfully. "If you ask me how to best incapacitate a man, my advice will be excellent. It's something I know quite a lot about, after all."

Khylen had made sure of that. His way of incapacitating someone had been to kill them but she's revised that to simply taking out a knee or knocking them the hell out. It might not be much difference but it helps her sleep better at night.

"But, relationship advice or things that I haven't really done well with myself?" She shrugs. "My last relationship before this place ended very, very badly. In that he tried to kill me."

Dutch realizes that that might be the first time she's said that out loud to someone in Darrow. The only person who'd known back home besides D'av had been Johnny. It doesn't hurt to say it but it does turn her stomach a bit.
