At this, she hurried to correct herself. "It's not that it doesn't suit me. What you just said reminded me... after taking a potion, you need to act, and in your earlier description, the Assassin Pathway represented catastrophe and disease... even just the Sequence 9 Assassin-I wouldn't know how to act as one."
