such a pity

Servalan is a thrifty woman; she dislikes waste, she dislikes pointless destruction, she dislikes missing opportunities.

She leans forward at her desk, touches the computer screen as Avon's face swims to its surface, and watches the reports of his activities drift by in a long stream of data. His companions. His whereabouts. His obsessions.

He's still chasing Blake. She feels a pang of regret, a thin-whetted needle to her heart, at the thought of how different things might have been if Avon had not been caught in the backdraft of Blake's flames.

Such a waste to kill such a man.
