"One does not need to own another to be respected." Evangeline shakes her head, her expression growing serious. "That is the cancer of subservience Vaughn. To the free, respect is given and shared without thought of status."
Her face gains that stubborn bent that Vaughn has probably gotten to see far too many times. "Your past does not lessen you Vaughn. You can have pride without arrogance, power without tyranny, respect without servitude."
"I give you respect because of your words and actions Vaughn, and whether you believe it or not... it is deserved."
She takes the loaded pistol, her eyes serious, and she points over his shoulder towards the skyline of Ul'dah in the distance. "Worth does not come from those gilded domes, Vaughn."
Evangeline turns, unleashing a stream of bullets down the range, leaving a bottle shattered among the sand. Standing there breathing heavily she scowls.
"The hell did they do to you Vaughn?"
"And can I shoot them next?"
