so here be a thought from an idle paw
from what i been told murderin another one o your kind gets you sent to the police and taken away
killin somebeasts a mark of ill breedin or summat
taint what a goodbeast does is what im understandin

now i aint sayin i likes these keys you lotve been whisperin about
but it stands to reason that they be humans like the rest o ye
or mostly anyway
and the lot o ye been killin em by the score
i dont suppose some o ye been goin huntin for em
been gettin a likin for the chase id expect
tis likely
i mightve done the same if i could follow your footpaws

so when does it all end eh
how long afore ye become badbeasts and scum and whatnot
how long til ye be a danger to all of us
is one enough
two
enough to whet an appetite for blood
enough to cause a panic in the city
how long til ye aint worth keepin around and mayhap it be best if the police take ye anyway

or mayhap there aint nothin wrong with the killin
why else would we be keepin so many of ye around
sounds handy enough to me

but like i said tis just an idle thought

ye fear that
losin yourself
ye remember that happenin before

I don't remember that happening before. But I think it's something to be feared, because some of the people who are advocating this killing are justifying it away to themselves.

I think that's an easy way to lose sight of your beliefs.

[ a significant pause before the next message. ]

i dont got any
so where does that leave me but with the easiest answer

Even not having any beliefs counts as a sort of belief, I think.

if not havin any beliefs counts as havin em what do they matter anyhow

It always matters. It's still a way of looking at the world. Even if I don't agree with some ways of looking at the world or some courses of action, it doesn't mean the fact people hold those beliefs or lack thereof is any less important.

[ ... idealistic nonsense. or at least overly troublesome nonsense, anyhow. ]

ye take it too far
there aint no accountin for others
what if ye run into a nasty piece o work like me someday eh

That depends. What would they be attempting to do?

kill ye o course
for somethin they needs

I expect I would die, given I have no combat training.

ye dont fear that

I think it's normal to fear that sort of thing?

are ye answerin me question

Yes. Sorry, I didn't mean to be unclear.

twasnt clearness that was the problem

ye wouldnt do anything now to make sure ye have nothin to fear later
yed take it that far
be that your stand

I'm not going to kill people just to make certain they won't someday kill me, no.

more the fool be you
me
i want to live and i wants what i got safe
thats what i be for in the end

I don't think not killing people for what they might do makes me a fool.

nay
it makes ye someone who dont plan ahead

but perhaps in this soft world i be the fool
not much reason for ye to kill until all this

That's not a method of planning ahead that really fits the person I am and the person I want to be.

there aint
what kind o person ye aimin to be

Someone who helps others. I'm in school for veterinary sciences.

veterinary

Doctors for animals.

why
do we need em
