I reckon that depends a whole heap on a bunch've stuff. Definitions of hurt and if we're counting physical and emotional. There's the things we do that we never know the consequences of, just because the person wasn't someone closely tangled up in our lives. If their thread got all frayed and ragged and may snapped 'cause of us, we might never know just because the weren't woven into our tapestry.

The people we care about, if they're also the people we keep in our lives the most? We get more chances to hurt them, and more chances to realise when we've done it, accidental or not.

I guess...

My point is I'm not perfect. I'm gonna fuck up sometimes, but your sisters are safe with me. I'd never hurt them. Not without some imPort magic mind-control bullshit. [Which she has experience with and which sucks and is dumb, but it's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me meme.]

And the same goes for you, by the way. Despite the kind of an ass thing.

Congratulations. You pass the seemingly decent living being in humanoid form test.

[notsheepish]

Thanks. I try.

[magnitudes]

That's alarming.

[notsheepish]

That I don't want to be a shitty person?

[magnitudes]

That you have to exert an effort to be decent.

I'm not- I'm not saying I have to constantly struggle just to act like a good person. Just... [Here is a moment where she is not enjoying this truth thing, and she gives a frustrated sigh.] It's something I think about a lot, because it's not always easy for me to convince myself I actually am one.

I mean, I'm definitely no saint. I've been to war and done the things you do there. And even before then, back when I was young and naive and didn't know about the wolf or how to control it yet, I hurt people. Some of them people I cared about.

But knowing, logically, that it wasn't my fault doesn't magically make things like that go away.
