The Dark Lady languidly watched her latest attempted murderer / hired assassin be dragged away by her attendants.
The Alpha, having just arrived, slipped to her side and leaned towards her.
The Alpha: That assassin was terribly sloppy. Not to mention, weak and filthy, and scarred and cornered... So. Where did you send her?
The Dark Lady: To have a bath.
The Alpha: How many would-be assassins does that make now?
The Dark Lady: I've honestly lost count.
The Alpha: So, you gonna keep this one in your collection too?
The Dark Lady: ...They're not objects I keep.
The Alpha: So yes, then?
The Dark Lady: What else.
The Alpha: I'm surprised you haven't run out of room in your castle at this rate. How long have you been doing this? 5 years?
The Dark Lady: Decades.
The Alpha: Again, how have you not run out of room?
The Dark Lady (shrugging): It's my castle. It's a magic castle.
