At least due to the fact that she doesn't have X's in her eyes we know she's alive (barely). Way to keep us hangin' on the edge of our seats, Mr. Burlew! You know how to deliver!
What he actually meant was an answer to Haley's question as to why he feels it necessary to KILL all non-Guild thieves, rather than just drive them away. He gains XP from personally offing them, allowing him to have progressed much higher in level than Haley.
