"Uh-huh, yeah, okay, except the part where you just terrorized a group of caravanners headed, by their general direction, into Crithe, country of a thousand wanna-be heroes. You turned into a giant dragon and took off after a dude that, again, I have to remind you of this fact, they all love and gave shit to because they wanted to. By the time they get to town, the story is going to be of the terrifying dragon who deceived them before going crazy and trying to kill some homeless mountain kid who was running for his life. You don't think even a little about how things look, huh?
"Look," Sparta said with a snort. "I'm really not here to get into some argument on morality or how I live my life with some dragon who, one, probably barely understands human society and, two, is arguing that they're clearly not obsessed with me while being like, kind of visibly obsessed with what I do and how I do it. If you're not being magically compelled to be interested in me, why be interested at all? Do you really think the greater evil here is some kid who is clearly living wild in the mountains being given cheese? That's your major concern in life? Absolutely zero magical compulsion, and theoretical cheese theft is your hill to die on? So much so as to terrify the group you were traveling with? Even if you fucking killed me and took the cheese back, do you think they'd be happy about that? Happy to know you'd been lying to them, that they'd been traveling with some dangerous creature the whole time? They'd run at the sight of you, and that only if they were too scared to try and stab you. But I mean you don't have to take my word for it."
Pausing in his unending torrent of disdain, he nudged the bag towards the dragon. "If you're totally not obsessed with me and just all about your version of justice here, take the cheese. See if they're happy with what you just did. I'll go back to starving and freezing in the mountains, but hey, if another caravan rolls through here before winter hits, maybe I can trade them for food with some like, leaves and sticks!"
