( they tend to differ on their stringent views of requisite biology and personal philosophy. for legosi, it absolutely would have been a mistake. not only would he have never really met haru, he also would have never "awoken" from the long, drawn out episode of sleepwalking that had been his life up until that point. that, and he fears he would have ended up something, like, well...
a monster. a monster just like riz.
he carefully dabs at his damp muzzle, feeling simultaneously as though he should've given up long ago at caring that he looked so silly in front of her so often but also unable to completely shed that self-awareness. ) Mm... But graduating normally and going to college is still special and impressive, in its own way.
( his ears droop slightly at the thought. not really at that thought, but at thoughts connected to it by fibrous tissue. he had felt confident in his decision to drop out, and he still largely does, but even if he had wanted to finish school, it would have been difficult or impossible (certainly at cherryton). "predatory offender" is a dangerous label to wear, and the tendrils that it reached into his life and his hopes and his dreams were the reason why he was pursuing a dangerous criminal in order to expunge his record.
well, that, and the fact that he felt the same about melon as he did riz: facing off against him was a battle of mindsets, standpoints, philosophies. it would be impossible for him to stand down even if his future with haru wasn't on the line.
it all comes with its own disappointments. he had to bid farewell to childhood dreams of becoming an entomologist or terrarium-keeper. he assumes they need more schooling than this delinquent wolf had...
there's a moment of silence in the wake of the server's departure, though haru fills it with a curiosity that he had felt once or twice upon arriving here.
legosi shifts awkwardly in his seat, and then he leans forward, one hand to the side of his muzzle to aid in his conspiratorially-given answer. ) Probably. I don't think changing would make them less inclined to eat it... I think it only might make them more so...
( he frowns, settling back, still seeming unsettled by it. he's spent enough time in the back alley market to come to terms with the reality of their world, but how brazen it is here... how little the humans and prismals seem to think about the things they eat... )
I've talked to a few humans about it. It's not something they usually think about... and when I talk about how things are back where we're from, they start to feel guilty. But - ... I don't know. I don't think they should have to change how they are just because of that.
( legosi's of the belief that it has to be a conviction that comes from within. so many of the meat-crazed animals that he had helped rehabilitate with gouhin had become that way because of conflict in their lives around what they were doing. to either eat meat or not... it just took an awareness of what you were doing. )
