Sure they are cute at first, but they quickly grow and their aggressive tendencies appear, when their sentience and sense of self develop at age 2 or 3 . Wittgenstein has aggressive tendencies. And the captain of the Silver Swan now regretted having given him to his daughter as a plaything several years ago. He took Wittgenstein away, and she had been very sad, as, indeed, had the young kobold, who had appreciated her nurturing spirit and the taste of her hair. But even the Captain had a soft spot, and rather than drop him overboard in a bag, as had been his intention, he had let Wittgenstein stay aboard, and in fact tolerated the kobold's presence quite happily. There had not been rats in the bilge for several years now, and the kobold was polite and gracious most of the time, waiting on the captain when he desired it, and sleeping happily belowdecks, in the lower hold. Indeed, when the Swan needed defending, there was Wittgenstein, standing with the crew, dealing as much damage to boarders as any of the paid crew. Wittgenstein enjoys the sea, and his life on ship has not seemed like the slavery it is. He is an able mariner, and wants to prove himself to the Captain, in the belief that it will make him worthy to see the Captain's daughter again.  The Bracers of Mighty Striking that Wittgenstein wears were taken from a halfling boarder. He earned them the hard way, and no one on the crew denies that Wittgenstein deserved an equal share of that raid's booty, not even the Captain.[stats will be pretty balanced, if accepted; 16 str; I would like to try a small fighter]</blockquote>
