Has a Witch ever done you that favor? If so, you should tell me what they said. If I ever met a Witch that was willing to be that reasonable, I'd let them go. [Not that he's ever actually met a Witch...] I like peaceful solutions. I just haven't really had an opportunity to reach any. [That happens when your enemies are aliens whose sole motivation is to destroy your world and the world's overseer.]
