"Are you gonna invade Crithe?" Sparta wondered out loud, wondering if there was a way he could watch from the sidelines. "I was kind of joking earlier but if you just show up and rob a duke or a rich merchant or something that is definitely country-invading and I don't think they'll take well to it. I mean! You still can? I just feel like you should know what that would be, first? I refuse to take any moral culpability for starting a dragon war. Maybe don't start with Crithe, they've probably got some anti-dragon stuff after the whole Aeris thing. But also don't invade Aeris? Hm. Maybe a city-state." He appeared to be giving this more thought than it really warranted, but it should have been clear by then that he had never developed any kind of barrier between brain and mouth. "I dunno if they'd have the gold though... Have you considered just landing somewhere and demanding tribute? Is that functionally different from robbing? No, I think if you qualify what I do as stealing, that definitely is.
"I do need food but also it would be great if you'd leave right now," Sparta admitted. Mostly because he wasn't sure he would. Or could. "Also, not that I'm poo-pooing your 'world's first dragon merchant idea,' since it requires you leaving, but how would you get the things? If you're not taking them? You understand how ownership works at least a little, clearly. But even if you robbed me, since I apparently qualify as evil, I like. Don't have anything of value. I guess you could try and find some bandits and take their stuff and try to sell it?" He was once again overthinking it, but didn't seem inclined to stop once he'd started.
"I actually settled in this area specifically because there weren't any bandits, though; there's a werewolf that tears through here every full moon and it keeps basically everyone else at bay. I'm not really sure how you even find bandits on purpose. I guess it's a moot point anyway, since you can't really sell anything like this. You'd need the gold first. Man, you really didn't think through any of this, huh, you just saw a kid stealing some cheese and went feral. And now you're stuck like that, so the only thing you have on you is just--"
Sparta, against all odds, went silent, squinting vaguely at Eric.
"...Do you shed?"
