They shouldn't. [It's not that Dixon's against murder or against calling people pussies. It's just that murder is a kind of dirty business that should be expected of people. It's something for bottomfeeders like him, not for teenagers. And it doesn't have shit to do with whether you're a little bitch or not.] Anyone gives you shit about that here, send them my way and I'll kick their ass. I've got some steam to blow off on people, if you couldn't tell.

[Dixon's not sure how to take the question either. It's not that it's inappropriate for Kevin to ask, it's just that the difference between what reality is and what he wishes reality still was is so stark that he has to pause. It's like the deep breath someone has to pause and take before they make a running leap across a canyon.]

Yeah, I used to be employed by those people. So I didn't have to run any. [Maybe if he does elaborate Kevin will assume that Dixon's employment was terminated by 'captured onto world-saving quest' and not 'fired with seriously justified cause'.]
