Grey and Someone often show up when Arkantos and Lucas start throwing insults around.

Here's what I know about Cinder. She's a sadist willing to kill people to gain power. I don't care if Tyrian gave her the willies. She creeps out people laughing on a roof at people being slaughtered. She thinks Tyrian is scary. "Pot. Meet Kettle. You've got much to discuss." Her keeping Merc and Em around is no good act. I bet she did it because the rest of Salem's crew picks on her and she wants her own crew to boss around. She wants to be a fake Salem. But she's young and got ended by Ruby and now she's partially crippled. Why? Because she's overconfident and arrogant. She's willing to kill people to get what she wants but in her winning streak she never saw her own loss coming.

Here's what I know about Em. She must have EXTREMELY LOW self-esteem. Merc never got slapped. But she did, and accepted it. Merc doesn't shove Em aside to get beside Cinder like a faithful pet. Em did. Merc doesn't regret getting Vale citizen burned and stabbed by Grimm and WFs. Em did, but lacked the pragmatism to take that as a wake up call. Just because someone saves you it does not, will not, cannot mean they can do whatever they want to you or to anyone else. They don't get to go on a killing spree just because they pulled you out of the gutter. You can be grateful to someone without kissing their ass. She grew up on the streets and she doesn't know that? And she's the one brown character and the artist never considered it'd be a little insensitive to have a brown (middle-eastern likely) character completely submissive and dominated by a cruel vain diva of a white woman? SMH If Em was just as mean and cruel as everyone else and her own villain I would be mad at her but at least she'd be her own woman like Raven is. But she's just a minion. A maid. A slave. And nothing anyone says will change that in my eyes. It's up to the writers to show me different. Show me Em putting her foot down and telling Cinder "No."
