Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tellerian Hawke" data-source="post: 7582503" data-attributes="member: 6790669">Seeing that Taylar has begun to examine the pouches, Maka takes the indigenous idols and pockets them. He does not try to hide this action, nor does he attempt to explain it.~These idols probably belong to murdered people, whose ideology doesn't line up with this new usurper's worldview. They were probably meant to be proof of someone's blasphemy against the sun god. I will deprive them of their chance to ever see this false proof; in fact, if I can find the tribe of people who made these, I will return these idols to them. The idols are probably precious to them. I will not allow them to fall into the hands of strangers. Religion is a deeply personal thing, and the beliefs of all peoples should be respected.~Maka frowns inwardly, as his thoughts continue:~The girls were obviously chosen for their ability to harness and manipulate Way. They would have been raised to become like the spies we killed. But the boys had no special talent. More than likely, they were destined to become mere slaves, or perhaps soldiers... unless this priest intended to use them as living sacrifices, or for some other malevolent purpose. If that is the case, it is a good thing that we killed him. Such corruption should not be allowed to flourish.~Maka turns to Taylar, "Yes, I agree. We should see to the children's return personally. To do otherwise would be a grave mistake, and a gross injustice."</blockquote>
