Civil conversation.
Thanks for reading! See you next week!
I will be out of town for the holidays, so the next 2 updates have been preloaded. If there’s any issues, I may not be able to get to it right away. Thanks for your patience.
Twisted Mirrors
Updated Mondays
…kinda forgot you don’t have to do anything to piss these guys off, other than exist.
I’m not against such an attitude coming from a villain, but it seems rather counterintuitive and (for a serious lack of a better word) “unreasonable” or “illogical”.
On one hand, simply existing pisses them off enough to punch a random “mongrel”. On the other, they’ll keep one alive since birth for the soul purpose of torturing for his entire life.
Yes, I know that villians don’t need a logical reason, but in every case I’ve ever seen, they always have at least some twisted reason or motivation to do what they do. Especially real world examples. Daryl Davis’s story comes to mind.
In this case, I just can’t see the reasoning…. at least not yet.
I don’t want to explain too much, because I firmly believe a) it should stand on it’s own and b) you should draw your own conclusions, but the reaction is not ENTIRELY unprompted.
It’s the way Rasque is staring at him that set him off. He doesn’t actually care about Rasque – that’s not who he’s here for after all – and he was likely just going to ignore him, but then he glanced down and saw Rasque staring up at him and that’s what enraged him.
Now as to WHY that enraged him, I don’t really want to elaborate. He’ll rant a bit on the next couple of pages, but it won’t precisely pin down the reason I was going for. I’ll leave that to you.
…but that was the idea anyway. 😀
Okay, so basically, while he’s there helping them with this, he’s not actually with the other two. Or to put simply Jurim(?) is not from the farm.
The link they have in common is that they both hate Rasque for his species, but their reasoning and how far each is willing to go is different.
Am I being clear enough? I can never really tell.
Jurim’s temper is on a bit of a hair trigger.
…especially now. 😀
