Ah, a word game. Yes. Explain how our laws differ from yours without using the word 'defy' or any derivative thereof. Unless I am understanding correctly that you view the dan'effrei existing in defiance of your Realm. Defiance. [He chuckles lightly at another joke not obvious to anyone but him.]

Balance, my dear. Just as laws here are not the same as yours of Life, nor are they the same in Death. Balance keeps Life living and Death dying and all the rest. To defy any one is to create imbalance, as your presence here does right now.
