Valerie shows no sign of having been moved by Marcus's words and says, "I'm not in a tournament, so it isn't a rigged game as you claim. I gotta play it smart if I don't wanna wind up getting desintegrated into a fine ash.  It also doesn't help that there are Hunters out there who would happily sell my kind to the Order for some gold or straight up blast them from existence by unleashing the wrath of the Chief Goddess upon them."

She moves away from the wall and adds, "Guess I've been lucky enough to have only gone up against small fry so far, but I'm conscious of the fact that that day may one day change. If anything, what I did to the ones I beat was basically help them realize the error of their ways through the mamono that captured them.  That, and they were all single."

A look from Valerie suggested that she was ready to change gears if she needed to, seeing as how her recent details of her life wasn't impressing Marcus so far.
