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. When some parent now regretting that purchase gave him to the Captain of the Silver Swan, he paid a few coins to have the creature dropped over the edge in a bag. But the Captain found another use for the young kobold, and she and her siblings 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's family when it was desired, 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 those being paid. Wittgenstein remembers little of his former life: he has memories of a few smells, and the taste of the hair of the young girl who had nurtured him years ago. He looks possessively at the Captain's long white hair, and does indeed keep the strands from her brush as he cleans her chamber. There's no sense in letting things go to waste on a ship.  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 and her family, in the belief that someday they will see him as an equal. If he encounters passengers, which he does from time to time, he can be affable and even charming to those who prefer to stay belowdecks.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.[/sblock]</blockquote>
