Things like, "Don't steal!" and "Don't kill!" are perfectly fine. (Those are good. We should definitely follow those.) But there are some like, "Don't ask questions" and "Just do as you're told." I've never liked those.
I dunno. Sometimes stealing is justified. [RAVEN???]
But yeah. Some people can live just fine within those rules, some people can't, and some people seem ta thrive on flaunting them on purpose. I was like that, when I was yer age.
Why would I steal a kitchen knife when I have a sword? [Or well, sword type thing. You know.]
You know. Long time ago.

Weird. You do something ta piss off the Realm lately?
[Since like what else would have caused this but the Realm.]
no subject
(Or, "What did you do?")
Not that I'm aware of, no. I managed to speak to one of our masked friends before night ended and they seemed just as lost. It's just another mystery.
no subject
[In any case.]
That seems like the norm with those six. As far as I can tell, they ain't got a much better idea of the situation here than we do.
no subject
(And he says that last word like it's g r o s s )
Really pesky. It would be easier if we could bend and break them a little more easily...

And how long ago was that, old man?
