Drawing A Line

The messenger came in the morning with a folded note, one day past the confrontation at the stables:
Wynsee,
You're not a whore. You aren't suited to that lifestyle and I doubt you'd find solace in such an occupation. Even so, you've gotten yourself off to a great start by convincing that dog eared fuckwit simpleton of yours that we're fucking each other we're fornicating I wanted to get into your skirt. Marvellous.
Stop whinging about bloody money owed. You're a commoner girl a few years past her flower, not some high-in-the-sky matron of a lord's manor who shits more gold than she knows what to do with. The ring was retainer enough. The she-wolf is dead. I never got to finish that job, so I'll take your ring as payment for that whole marsh business. Even though it's a governor's ring and I have more chance of riding a flying unicorn than selling it for anything more than a two bob bit in this fuckstain of a town.
I've been in this town long enough now to learn things. Things about that towering sack of shit simpleton boy that defy any rational explanation. Men I've known, good friends of mine, have been beheaded for lesser offenses. Far lesser offenses. It baffles the mind why one would keep something like that around in public. We're all good and well slaughtering werewolves because they bit your hand off, yet we seem to have compunctions in granting a quick mercy to a simpleton who goes about raping and beating women whilst consorting with devils?
Regardless, I don't want your bloody explanations or stories as to why you or these addled bloody towners want to keep the boy alive. I don't blame the boy for getting confused at the stables the other night, either. A madman sees what he sees. But if a master has a rabid dog that keeps biting others, no matter how much he loves it, sooner or later he realizes that it must be put down.
Don't take those words the wrong way, Wynsee. I don't intend to go out of my way to harm the boy, given he does have some measure of friends in this town -- if you could call them that. I would, however, suggest that you encourage the boy to err on the side of caution and advise we keep our distances. I know you have a kind heart and care for him, and that you'd be awfully upset if I lopped that stinking head off his shoulders the boy were to be harmed in some fashion.
S.B.
