[As the insanity of the trial uncoils and the execution occurs, Buddy will silently approach Morrigan as everyone prepares to go back to the Hotel and sleep. Once she makes it to the woman she'll tap on her arm.]
[ Morrigan peers down at Buddy, a bit shocked to see her. Morrigan held no ill will for her, but she suspected she might be cross with her after Morrigan nearly got her friend killed. her face is more — unprepared than it usually is, looking at her with rounded eyes. ]
.. Yes. That is what I said, and that is what we shall discuss — but first, I ask this of you. I am going to say some words, and you will, in turn, tell me what you think when I say them. A simple enough task.
[ she gives her a few seconds to prepare herself. ]
Merely an exercise. There is no correct answer, of course, nor is there one I particularly expected; I was simply curious.
[ she crosses her arms. ]
Ah, but there the problem lies therein, doesn't it? [ morrigan stop being vague ] Why is it you chose 'saviors' for 'woman'? Is there a specific idea that they safeguard, in your mind? Or do you mean a more literal savior, a martyr, perhaps? Is it that they save themselves from the men, or 'monsters'?
Men destroyed the world I came from. Created the wasteland I was born in. ...I once knew a man from the old world and he told me how different it once was. So if all the women are supposedly gone and only men remained, then the ruin can only be their fault. That makes them monsters.
I am the one who kills those monsters. I'm the last salvation of the world and its savior.
This means you simply cannot die, then, yes? You must return to your world, to your goal to purge the realm of these monsters. [ a sigh. ] I.. believe that I erred, before, upon our first meeting. I told you to not trust any of the men here, but that was a mistake. Some may prove useful yet, and others have proven themselves worthy of my trust yet. Notably, Vegeta is a fine person to ally yourself with. I advise relying on him when necessary, if you can. I suspect he already has stock in your cause as it stands.

He doesn't know about where I come from, not like you do, but he's...not so bad. He reminds me of Brad a little - the man who took care of me.
Man or woman, I'm not going to blindly trust in others.
