"There's no need to kill anyone over such a trifling matter." Puu-leease. The second is the fairly contrived premise. Fairies, earls and inherited islands. Isn't it all just an excuse for these two to go on an adventure together. I can see the premise being quickly relegated to "plot device" status.

It's not that I think the show is brilliant--or even one of the season's best--but I didn't see anything particularly wrong with the dialogue. Especially in that scene, which I thought was well done overall, and told us something about Raven's character, that he would
begin to react with almost scary blood-lust over a few scratches to his master's throat. And, likewise, the fact that Edgar is so casual, meaning that
this matter might be "trifling", but he probably has no issue with setting Raven upon people when it serves his interests.
And, to be honest, I'm not sure why someone would go into show called
Earl and Fairy and expect...BokuIta and Emma? High school romance in Victorian England? The title itself tells you to expect fairies, earls, and, yeah implies "adventure". I don't think you can blame a show for truth in advertising.
