 _self_act get food 
 _self_say Don't touch me. I'm getting food and I'm hungry, 
 _partner_say I don't know why I would. 
 _self_say Usually humans don't like my kind. They think we're creepy. 
 _partner_say I am here just to keep an eye on this coming execution, I worry not for rats. 
 _self_say What did the guy do to get this execution? 
 _partner_say He evaded the kings taxes. 
 _self_say That's terrible. I guess he's got whats coming to him. I don't understand people who commit crimes when they're just going to get caught. 
 _partner_say Desperation I would imagine, it never works out well. 
 _self_say Do you ever feel any bit uneasy witnessing executions?  
 _partner_say One becomes hardened to it with time, I have seen a number of deaths both here and in battle. 
 _self_say Is life ever "normal" again though? Is life always depressing now for you? I would always be suspicious of people. 
 _partner_say Depressing? I would not say so, you simply become used to such things. 
 _self_say You're a tough human then. I consider myself a tough rat as well. Life isn't all that glamorous scavenging for scraps everyday.
