Aw, what? Did I piss you off?

It's not that I want you dead, but you're gonna go try to chat up a bunch of people apparently known for their violent tendencies. It's not unreasonable to assume anyone could get killed doing that.

If you can't recognize that risk, then it's no wonder people don't like you going off by yourself.
