[QUOTE="Mirth, post: 464331, member: 5242"] "I know that you've saved our lives more than once, Jericho, and that you are a brave and noble warrior," Tarowyn takes a breath before continuing, "but you've been in these lands long enough to know that rogues, cutpurses and mountebanks are not fodder for the blade when they abscond with something. In fact, many of them are gainfully employed for those very skills, much as we are." "Besides," the elf continues, trying to make it easier for the D'orite to understand his point of view, "that child was not of an age to make a true choice about what he was doing. More than likely, his theft was either out of necessity or to impress his friends or as an undertaking for another's profit. It would have been better to have captured him, learned his reason for stealing and punished him or the person he was working for, rather than to kill him. You may be rash, but you're not stupid. We have taken what we wanted from our enemies in order to enrich ourselves. How are we different?" "But in the end, what's done is done," Tarowyn sighs and looks deep into Jericho's eyes. "At the very least, I believe you owe the boy's family a sincere apology and a blood debt. Especially since the child did not steal from you at all." [/QUOTE]
