[She hasn't heard this expression before, so she just looks extremely confused.]
No thank you? I don't want a penny.

I think we must find the culprit at all costs, and quickly. This is an individual who must now be feeling very emboldened to act again.
I don't think there's any point to being coy anymore. Last week, some of the Avatars were openly suggesting killing as a strategy. Did any of them say such a thing to you?
About what they did back home?
[Why!! Who cares! No, just kidding, she mostly likes them so far.]
Well, they said as much to me. Our prize will come from a pool, and the fewer who are sharing in the pool, the more likely it is that we'll get everything we want.
A powerful incentive to murder. I'm sure our killer was also aware, and successfully reduced the pool by two.

[What the fuck. She's just standing there, arms crossed, watching him, judging him.]
Do that again, and I'll lie - tell them I never saw you punch a thing at the next trial.

Stop!
[She stops huffing angrily and instead will try to grab his arm - though she has zero muscles, so it won't do shit.]
What a pointless thing, to hurt your hand!

No it isn't, imbecile. It's an inanimate wall. What's gotten into you?
[Oh. My god. His eyes. . . are leaking. What if she just left right now. What if she just walked away and left.
She folds her arms around herself, obviously uncomfortable, but letting him go.]
. . . Was I harsh? I only didn't want to watch you hurt yourself.

[This is so much. She probably ducks away from the shoulder pat.]
You. . . are inebriated. Let's. . .
[Oh. She was going to say get you to bed, but. Something occurs to her.]
Let's have a rematch of the game.
