“See, that’s just part of being human. We come as a wild mix of good, bad, indifferent. Not like you dragons. You’re evil through and through, and from everything I’ve learned about you, you aren’t able to change. You couldn’t be altruistic or kind or merciful, or anything, apart from selfish and evil. That’s strange to me, but helpful to know, since it means that everything you do is aimed at undercutting me and promoting yourself. But me? I’m different. No matter how many evil things I’ve done, no matter how close I get to becoming you, I always have the choice.
