[Just a short broadcast, as this tiny wolf child makes some Serious Contemplations...]

What do you... What makes a person good, do you think? Is it something they can control?

[He can be found out by the stables, getting as close to the horses as he can in his chair, without rolling over their feet. He wishes so hard that he could just climb up and ride one - almost as much as he wishes he could shift into his wolf's skin, and run with the strange fox-dogs out in the desert sand. Today is not a very happy day.]

Then that's up to you, isn't it? Nothing to do with me.

Looks like you don't even have to ask the question. Obviously it's something you can control, if being 'good' is the result of actions you decide to take.

[summerschild]

Oh.

[He thinks he understands what this guy just said???]

... If being good is a choice, why would someone choose not to be?

[electrostatics]

The right choice is hard to determine. Plus, it's not always easy, or it doesn't always seem like the right choice, or you make it and find out you've screwed something else up later.

Things get complicated really quickly when you're trying to measure everything on a moral scale, so it's just easier not to bother and do whatever you want. The point of life is enjoying it, anyway.

[summerschild]

[That's certainly not a life philosophy he's heard before in Westeros.]

Enjoying it? Nothing would ever get done if all we did was enjoy ourselves, though.

[electrostatics]

[ Shakes his head dismissively. ]

Responsibilities are responsibilities. You have to do those. But what you do with your free time...you might as well enjoy it, right? You can't spend your whole life being all dutiful and straightlaced.
