[Since the last event Raven has spent the entire time locked away in his room sleeping it off. Now however he feels as though that wasn't he wisest thing to do. So he's currently in the Barracks borrowing one of their standard wooden bows and practising hitting the targets. He doesn't seem to be doing very well though, he's broken a few window panes and even managed to hit himself with his own arrow. It'd be a wise idea to not stand anywhere near him, especially in front, he's not having a very good day.]

Like I said before, I'm not here to judge.

[crisisrain]

It's not really judgin', it's more of 'havin' yer own opinion'.

[latkje]

Well, what sort of person would I be, if I got set in my opinions without seeing this stuff for myself?

[crisisrain]

Didn't say ya have to be set on those opinions! Opinions can always change over time.

[latkje]

Can they? Talking to some people, you wouldn't know.

[crisisrain]

Ya can always change someone's opinion, it just takes a lot of effort ta do so.

[latkje]

I've met some pretty stubborn people, in my time.

[crisisrain]

Yup, I'd be one of 'em.

[latkje]

But you seem to think opinions are changeable, so you can't be that bad.

[crisisrain]

Nah I'm just stubborn in other areas.

[latkje]

Like what?

[crisisrain]

Doin' stuff I really should do, listenin' to orders. Mostly productive stuff.

[latkje]

Problems with authority, hmmm?

[crisisrain]

Sometimes, I just don't like havin' to carry burdens and do stuff I don't wanna do.

[latkje]

But if you don't carry them, someone else will. Or worse, no one'll carry them at all, and the burdens will sit and rot all by their lonesome.

[crisisrain]

Burdens aren't exactly a good thing ta have, it'd be better if they're left alone in the rotting garden.

[latkje]

If everyone thought that, nothing would ever get done!

[crisisrain]

If they did think that, then burdens wouldn't exist in the first place!

Long as people carry their own burdens instead of pushin' them onto other people then I guess that's fine.

[latkje]

Ah, but burdens are like advice, and meant to be passed on. They're never of any use to yourself.

That's duty's charm: it can always be shirked.

[crisisrain]

No way, ya shouldn't go dumpin' yer burdens on someone else to clean up!

[latkje]

But what if they were dumped on you in the first place?

[crisisrain]

Depends. If the person who dumped it on ya is still alive then dump it back, if they're dead then it's yer own choice whether ya decide to carry it out. How significant that person was to you would be counted inta the factor as well.

[latkje]

But burdens aren't always handed out by other people! There's family, tradition, country, and, worst of all, you yourself. Some people are convinced they carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, when in reality it's just a coat.

[crisisrain]

Yup exactly, I'm way too light hearted ta carry any kind of burden. I cleared mine, I'm done.

[latkje]

But you wish you were married.
