Salem looked up at Cat, his gaze hard and lips drawn tight. He'd toyed with the possibility that Cat might try to stop him, or at the least hinder him, but then he'd thrown the idea out under the assumption that Cat wouldn't care if he was going out and killing people with no ties to major groups.

"You still shouldn't worry about them, I'm taking care of it." Salem stated plainly. "They aren't stupid enough to retaliate against me or anybody who goes with me, not when they find out we came from the Badlands."
