Ray would disagree; she knows quite a few humans who have power to lord over others. But just the thought of them makes her queasy and uncomfortable, so she replaces the thought in her mind with another. "Do you think you know everything about humans?"
"Is them potentially killing me not enough of a reason? Is that what you're trying to tell me? You must never have lived in the tropics."
Ray finds it strange how angry the thought makes her, though she knows she's never killed any creature of real value. Not directly. Surely she hasn't...
When her thoughts hit that wall, she pivots without a thought. They're only talking about mosquitoes.
"Every member of your species is a potential threat to my species." Wolves, not werewolves, but Laughs doesn't see a difference here, because in a roundabout way, it means the same - if all wolves are dead, his tribe will be gone, because Red Talons can't breed with any species but wolves. And, well, they're wolves themselves, aren't they? At least as children, and if you're less technical, always.
Even as she says that, a small voice whispers in her ear that that must be a lie. But she can think of no reason for why that would be, so the idea fades from her mind.
Her frown tightens, but deep down there's almost a sense of relief as part of the anger within her snaps. She doesn't need to think about what he's saying, especially because it's easier to zero in on the external target.
"What about you? You don't seem to care at all about human lives, yet I'm a bad person for behaving the same way? You killed me!"

Do you know everything about mosquitoes?"
He's pretty sure most, if not all, humans kill mosquitoes without remorse or a second thought.
no subject
No, she doesn't. They're annoying and deadly; you swat them without a thought and move on.
no subject
"And would you still kill them despite not knowing everything about them, because they are a bother and might transmit deadly illnesses?"

"I am not disagreeing. A species potentially killing you is enough of a reason to kill them."
Now if she thinks back to some earlier parts of their conversation and acquaintance...

"You killed me when I didn't even do anything to you! Do you think you have an excuse for that too?"
What could Ray do to anybody? Even when dealing with the smallest of the ghosts back home, all she could do was run and hide.

It's not her. It's what she is.
Nothing she can change.

But they've already gone over that point.
So perhaps they should move on to what is actually of interest here. And worrisome. "I did.
Why are you alive now?"
