It was the best example I could think of. You understood what I meant, didn't you? Means it worked the way it should have. [That is to say yes it's personal but it's still something he's keeping to himself.]
[And he won't press any further on that particular matter, aside from a comment like so:]
Vengeance is an unfortunate cycle, perpetuating itself by claiming more victims than those involved in the original act. ...I would hope that mankind will eschew it someday.
[He makes a lot of gambles on mankind, doesn't he.]
One can hope, huh? [There's a frown. He would really hope for that case, too, but he knows better. In a place like this though maybe it's possible. He doesn't think to elaborate though because the village is up ahead and he nods.] Just up here and we can drop him. And...thanks again for your help.
