Well that's all reasonable and compassionate and lawful good but Lup doesn't seem sold at all. She stops her pacing to stare at them both in turn, frowning almost judgmentally.
"Listen, I wasn't gonna even go after the inn or whatever? My main concern here is being pursued, like, I'd rather squash a boat chase in the bud if I can. Sure, some hypothetical future visitors are gonna be fucked once we're done with the place, but they were always gonna be. I mean, so were we? You really think we can actually make their shitty system even worse?"
She looks at Muffet, a fire burning in her gaze though her anger isn't meant for the spider at all. "The innkeeper wasn't gonna stand up for you if somebody decided to drug and drown you, were they?" She turns to Connor with the same intensity. "Let's not forget these people, they don't just live with the law, they look away when their kids are drowned for laughing! Show me some kinda underground resistance, revolution or something? Sure, sign me the fuck up for not kicking their asses! But they've had plenty of time to get rid of their fucking laws themselves, it's not our job to excuse their complicity."
After that little outburst, Lup takes a breath, resettles her ears like ruffled feathers, and shoots Muffet a finger gun. "Burning down the library, though? Dope idea, hell yeah. Maybe that'll give them the push they need to wake the fuck up, but by then we'll be back to sipping coconut martinis in our lawless island commune."
