the hells is this and why was it on my doorstep? [ IMAGE ATTACHED ]

if anyone's up for a spar, i could use the exercise

[ never mind that she earns her keep around here by regularly competing in one of the fight clubs... alvis is gone again which means dutch needs the distraction ]

[For a split second, he takes "shit" literally. That is definitely another aspect of pet care to consider... He should probably bring that up.

...

......

Maybe not right now.]

It could be, yes!
If it does like fruit, it might be able to climb trees and pick some, for itself as well as for you.

[motivation]

that might be somewhat useful at least

[gekkajuu]

I'm not sure you should keep a pet just because it may be useful, especially if you don't know what kind of pet it is.
But if you enjoy its company and it happens to be useful too, that's definitely a bonus!

[motivation]

so no one should ever keep cows or goats?

[ those are kept because they're useful, right? ]

[gekkajuu]

I'm not sure those count as pets.
But I think even with those, it's better for all involved if you can love them a little.

[motivation]

[ such a bleeding heart. dutch might be sick. ]

why's that so important to you

[gekkajuu]

[Careful, it's contagious!]

Because
Why wouldn't you, if you have the option?
If you have the choice between loving and not loving, why would you ever choose the latter?

[motivation]

[ it better not be. though: khlyen's lessons not to care about anyone or anything but her own survival never quite stuck.

and yet, her first answer to the question is "because loving will get you killed". she's not going to type that, though. ]

less effort?

[gekkajuu]

Also less reward.
So I'm not sure if the effort is relevant.
Not to mention it's more an attitude than an effort...

[motivation]

[ it's an attitude that can get you killed buddy ]

yeah, whatever

[ so eloquent ]

[gekkajuu]

That's just my opinion on it.

[And he's lucky that he's not easy to kill, or it would have happened a dozen times over by now.]

Anyway, I'm not sure what I can do from all the way over in Olympia, but if you think of anything, don't hesitate to ask, okay?

[motivation]

sure, yeah

[ as in: no, she'll never ever ask for help ]

[gekkajuu]

You can always reach me here, if you need me.

Then, good luck.

[Enjoy motherhood, the most sacred of blessings.]

[motivation]

yeah
thanks

[ so enthused ]
