[pm] Well we got powers, but we weren’t born with them. If anything they are a mutation. We still call people affected by radiation humans don’t we? Maybe I worded that wrong, when slayers are dealing in the human world of course we should follow human laws. I don’t mean to say otherwise. But when it comes to the supernatural realm, which we are equally as much a part of, there are some laws that get in the way. I’ve broken the law before, but so have you. Sometimes you break the law for the greater good. There are times when, if I hadn’t broken the law, there would be no world. I’m not just saving a bunch of lives Leslie, this is the entire world we’re talking about. There are supernatural forces so much greater than anything you’ve ever experienced. These forces don’t care about laws, or civilizations, or any human things. When they work outside of the human realm, I have to get on their level. It’s a necessity. And we are at war, there is a war waging on constantly between the forces of good and evil. And I’m not trying to be dramatic here, I know it sounds ridiculous and blown out of proportion, but it’s not. I’ve experienced it. That being said, I get what you’re saying about the murder, but I’m not sure how I feel about that. To say that all human murders committed by a slayer are collateral damage in the supernatural war is maybe giving more leniency then we deserve. I do not approve of taking human life unless it is absolutely necessary, and that means slayers too. 

[pm] I’m not certain, Buffy, that we should speak much more on the subject if we are to maintain a working relationship. Suffice it to say that I will do the job asked of me and no more nor less. 

And should I be working on my own or for the city, I shall work towards my own goals. You cannot ask more than that, especially as I’m doing this as a free consultation. 

[pm] I wasn’t asking for more, I was just sharing my opinion on a subject that concerns me more than it ever will you. But I agree that we shouldn’t talk about it anymore. Thank you for answering the questions that I asked you. I have no reason to expect anything more from you. If ever you need a favor of me, come to me and we can be even. You seem like the type who doesn’t do anything unless you get something in return. I certainly don’t want you to feel like you’ve gotten the short end of the stick or been swindled somehow, that’s not what I’m about.
