“Ready to join?” Bonesaw asked, looking for all the world like a puppy when her master had the leash out, ready for a walk.
Yeah, no, I don’t think so.
Eager, brimming with excitement.
For all the puppylike behavior, I don’t think Rachel would like Bonesaw.
“No,” Amy said. “There’s no way.”
“Why? Whatever’s holding you back, we can fix it. Or we can break it, depending.”
As horrible as it is, Bonesaw’s approach is actually better than Shatterbird’s. Shatterbird forces people into the Slaughterhouse Nine by threathening them with violence and the like, with no regard for whether or not the victim will be willing and loyal to the Nine. Bonesaw, on the other hand, attempts to force people into the Slaughterhouse Nine by changing them so that they’ll become willing. It might not be quite as effective at actually recruiting them, but the people she does recruit this way will be less likely to doublecross the team.
(Though she’s not doing it as… directly as I thought for a moment when she began. So far, anyway.)
