[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7802166, member: 4937"] A bit more on the idea of "Why the heck do you think that 'good' means, "Is nice to everyone?"" From the perspective of a good dragon, they have a relationship with you not unlike your relationship with dogs. On the one hand, you might just be a good, loyal, somewhat intelligent creature that won't chew the slippers or widdle much on the floor, and who can be endearing with their unabashed affection for you and obedience to you as a superior creature. On the other hand, you are probably just some mangy feral stray, ravenous with hunger and thirst, and driven mad by rabies and for which the dragon will be perfect reasonable to simply just put down. And somewhere in the middle, you are just another stray dog begging for scraps, as if there weren't a 100,000 just like you being equally tiresome and digging up the flower beds in order to poop in them. The dragon is totally justified in firing some rock salt in to your behind, or taking you off to animal control to be spade, neutered, or put to sleep. And the dragon will not in the slightest think less of itself for having done so, or that it is a bad dragon, even if the dragon feels some tinge of compassion at the tragedy of a world with far too many stray animals in it. And if the dragon gives you a bit of an undeserved chance, and the first thing it does is leap up on the sofa with its smelly muddy paws and snatch your dinner right off your plate, well you tried to be nice to the stupid b1tch but clearly this was a very bad idea. And if the dang thing snarls at you when you try to get it off the sofa, well it's just going to die. [/QUOTE]
