...If most of them would be attacked on sight, I'm not really getting neutral vibes.

[nonbelligerent]

That's why they're not the neutral ones. When I say others of my kind, I don't mean other members of my specific clan.

[foodbin]

...Oh. Well, lucky for you that you're with one of the better ones, then, right?

[nonbelligerent]

[...

you know what, sure, let's go with that.]

I think the actions an individual takes matter more than luck, but yes, I suppose.

[foodbin]

Well, that depends on whether you were born into it or if you chose it, I guess.

[nonbelligerent]

Well, even if one was born into a certain life, that doesn't make them a passive observer of their surroundings.

After all, the other side of the coin would be that someone who was born into cruelty and commits cruel acts of their own is simply "unlucky", rather than accountable for their actions, and that I disagree with.

[foodbin]

Well, I wasn't quite talking about the actions they'd take depending on what clan they were in, but... Yeah, I can agree with that easily enough.

[nonbelligerent]

What did you mean, then?

[foodbin]

Well, as far as getting there in the first place goes... I didn't know how your clans work. Like, what would happen to someone who might not agree with theirs, and wanted to leave? I doubt it'd be all peachy if they came from a more violent one, right?

[She shrugs.]

In that case, luck would at least play into it a little.

[nonbelligerent]

Not really... There's no real obligation to stay with your clan, and one clan even welcomes those who chose to leave their original.

I wouldn't say there's zero complications, but it wouldn't be as if they'd send a hunting party for you either.

[After a moment passes:]

Right. I shouldn't assume, I guess.
