Ya know what he said t' me after that? That I shouldn't be so eager t' kill. [ Izō snorts. ] I told him if I hadn't, he'd be breathin' outta a hole in his neck.

[ This is all very weird. Going to have a friendly drink with someone you killed...Well, whatever. Stranger things have happened. ]

...There's somethin' funny 'bout ya, ain't there? That ain't th' only time ya died, is it?

[ Call it intuition. If he'd been faced with someone who killed him, he would've been ready to get his revenge. Then again, he's the type to fight anyone and anything that so much as looks at him funny. ]
