With the exception of a few I've never seen a more miserable, pathetic example of parenting that was presented over this weekend. Many weren't deserving of the title of "parent" and I'm utterly repulsed by their behavior.

[However, some of your moms are very, very hot.] I'm grateful for the ones that seemed to gather the importance of caring for their offspring.

What's your current condition? [Because asking, "How are you?" just can't happen with smug soldier men.]

I see. And direct retaliation is somewhat limited. I can imagine what I would do if a member of my Pride was harmed, I had the resources to take action, but at the same time run the risk of losing those resources. Ultimately, for future need, self-interest prevails.

That's likely the wisest course of action. [And something for North America.]

[Rhade, a cat is trying to catch your hand.]

Just don't use your resources. Use those of- [And suddenly Rhade makes a strange sort of noise, half rising out of his chair and really looked for a moment as if he were going to hop onto the table.

But then he settles down again as if nothing happened. Because nothing did happen, did it? Artfully choosing more perimeter forces, in this case Alaska.]

-someone else. That is if his warden doesn't deal with it in a suitably ruthless manner. He seems like the sort that enjoys lashing out himself when he has the chance. [He might be batting at a cat beneath the table.]

[Braxiatel lifts an eyebrow, but chooses not to comment on the combat going on under the table.] I'm not vengeful—no, that's not true. I have an ironic sense of humour. [Is humour the same as vengeance? Apparently, yes.] But I am not one to take vengeance. No irrational behaviour: the Enlightenment ideal.

Re: [Spam]
That depends on your definition of "irrational". [At least the ideas of revenge can be comforting, but he doesn't know that Brax has gone through these motions already.]

Harm caused for harm's sake falls under my definition of irrational.

[Chartreuse is done with the hand now and would be interested in sleeping on Rhade's lap.]

I don't think you would have done anything for harm's sake. Generally, I'm of the opinion that you prefer to help more than harm. It may be the case that one is an unfortunate circumstance of the other. [He looks down at the warm thing curling up in his lap, and he smiles slightly to himself.

She knew that he wore his black uniform today. She must have. Cats can always sense these things. She's getting petted anyway.] You're going to turn me into an optimist. I'll be the embarrassment of all the soldiers I know.

[Cats always know. At least Sherry is grey rather than outright white.]

Why shouldn't soldiers be optimists? If you're going to fight, I should hope you have enough optimism to believe in whatever you're fighting for. [Which is simultaneously an optimistic and cynical declaration.]

I believe in what I'm fighting for. But I'm also known as a very harsh cynic among m- the crew. [Not his crew. Not anymore. For some reason scratching Sherry behind the ears is almost comforting. That and admiring Brax's job at a contradictory sentence.]

[This is possibly because Chartreuse is purring?] You can call them your former crew, if it's easier.
