[Lust is quiet a while. She sips her wine and purses her lips in thought, considering.]
[It's not a new story, really. She's seen the like plenty of times, in her former life. And she understand what it is to be a slave. Eventually, she begins speaking, seemingly not addressing what Boone's just said.]
I belonged to a cruel master, before this life. The wording was always so polished, so acceptable. We were her servants, her children, her beloved collection. We were slaves, though. We had no choices, we were punished if we disobeyed, if we attempted to act for ourselves. We belonged to her and she used as she wanted. I'm called 'Lust' and I look as I do, I'm sure you can guess what she used me for.
I met a man once, in a little mountain village. He was a good man, a kind man. A doctor. He wanted to wipe out fatal diseases, and he was extremely talented. He fell in love with me. I...I don't know what I felt for him, but I cared for him. It meant something to me, his happiness. And I knew what my master had in store for him. What she planned to do.
[Lust takes another long swig of the wine. She doesn't talk about Lujon often, less even than she speaks of Scar.]
He told me he loved me, he asked me to run away with him....and I killed him. Because it was kinder, and he was going to die no matter what I did. At least that way it was quick and he never saw what happened to the rest of his village.
[It's her own long winded way of saying that she understands what Boone did, and why. On multiple levels.]
