"Calem, part of growing up is recognizing your flaws. Another part is pushing them aside and doing what you need to do regardless. You're just recognizing the concept that whenever you're in paladin mode, you tend to fight prior to asking any questions. You can get stronger from accepting your mistakes rather than undoing them in an attempt to perfect yourself, you know. It's part of a balanced character."

Her answer immediate.
"Not in the slightest."You want to ask why, but a ding-ding coming from the elevator interrupts you before you can. The time for mayhem is on the horizon. The time for action is now. Your new buddy geek guy who didn't even know your name until five minutes ago suddenly wants you and your waifu to clean his basement out of all the leeches infesting it.
IT'S PEST CONTROL GO TIME.
