Zero was meditating on the floor, his legs crossed Indian style. His eyes were closed and his back was to the two people who had just entered, but his head turned just slightly. "I see you've brought a guest, Seven," he said, his tone quiet and casual. "And from the smell of things, you've been in a bit of a fight. Are you hurt, my dear?" "Surely you can smell that too, Zero," Seven said coldly. The corner of his mouth twitched. After a short, tense silence, she asked in even colder tones, "Why didn't you tell me you had Ira kill her parents?" "For the simple reason that you would never be ready to know," he answered steadily. "You were always too soft on the assassins. They need to learn that this isn't a game." "She was just a child," Seven growled. Zero's deep green eyes opened. "She was ready, child or not," he said. "She told me herself."
