How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck was a Greil Mercenary who was most definitely totally not into crossdressing? Silly rhetoric and reminiscences aside, Boyd has an axe - and axemen are too damned manly to crossdress (although that cocktail dress really went well with that purse!). I mean, it's even impractical to wield axes with a dress, and heels are not designed for secluded group meetings in the woods with other Louis Vuitton enthusiasts. So. Boyd has a lot of pent up anger built up that needs to be taken out on a poor bastard, making good use of his mighty, MANLY Axe of Manliness. And Midboss just so happens to be the next target. Pity the poor fool.
