A goblin? I don't follow .... Oh. I see. Heh, I'd forgot about that. Well, not to them, certainly.

In my view, the difference between us is that you've always craved approval and recognition, from one sort of authority figure or another. And you've done whatever you think will buy you that praise. Whereas I learned I don't need a pat on the head to find acceptance or feel like I'm part of something greater than myself. I'd just as soon not be the one under the fairylights, to be honest, but I'm not going to stand by silently if no one else has the brass to call foul.

Would it have been easier for us if you'd been older? Does it matter?
