My eyes widen....

"...did I do that, make the bad dragon come here?"

Reach towards the pretty flashy green spot to put my finger on it.

"That's us! Me! You! All of us!"

Gazing as the colors and their changes.

"Ooooooo."

I step closer to the pretty shiny things.

I stare at it, tilt my head to the side, then the other... "It's a game! The Good Man had those, he tried to teach me them....I wasn't very good at them though. 'Little Trina, can you make this mess slide into proper order?' and I'd move little piecey things like those, but I never solved it.&q...

"I'll cast a spell later. It should tell us all about the sword. And how to Deal with it. It takes an hour to cast the spell, so I'll wait until we camp for the night. But then we'll know." I put the new wand in my belt, and follow to the west. "Will you come with us, 'Trina?" I...

I look slightly confused at Led, information overload...

"K."

I think hard for a minute.

"The sword is bad?"

Eyes narrowing slightly, I stare at the sword, as if sizing it up, eyeing it up and down

With a sigh of frustration I ask Led "How do you Deal with a sword?"

I listen solemnly to Led. When he's done "What's a spleen?" I start looking through my pouches and pockets for a spleen. My spleen, anyones. "The Good Man never said he had a spleen, so do Good people have them, bad people? If only bad people do, I don't want one." Looking at Led...

Led makes eye contact with Kalindriel, and holds it while he says cheerfully, "Oh, I'm sure a Good girl like 'Trina wouldn't lie to us. She knows the difference between Good people and bad people." I smile widely. "Let's go Deal with the bad man before he does more bad things." ...

Thinking deeply then "Not really, I was just trying to follow the Bad Man. It's hard to do that inside. Until those Bad Men and the Bad Rock found me, I think I was going in the right direction."

Kat, I don't know what kind of children you know, but my seven year old knows it's Bad to go around sticking sharp objects into people. ;P Anna, think about that for a minute. The "Whys" Why do they know it's Bad to do that? They know it's bad because you told them it was. What if you had...

Giggling sheepishly. "I'm Katrina. The Good Man usually calls me that, but it's the way he says it that lets me know when I have to Deal with a bad man." After talking to her a bit, you can actually hear the capital letters in the words. "I dunno, The Good Man usually said *singsong* ...

She's supposed to Deal with people. Bad people murder. Good Deal with bad men.

Good and Bad have very VERY fluid definitions, at least they will once she's no longer under the direct supervision of The Good Man.

It's a nice way of saying she's simple and potentially easy to manipulate. Or really, really stubborn. None of which precludes her from being good at removing problem people. Mainly, I wouldn't be expecting nuanced philosophical debate from her. Kali's handy Trina Good-Bad translation chart: good =...

She's not nuts, she's just very childlike.

The Good Man says everything will work out as it should. He knows these things. That's what they do.

Smiling widely, the intensity gone from her eyes "He's the Good Man. People talk to him, call him Sir sometimes, but he's the Good Man. He does good things."

"MoonStrider? He is a bad man. Very bad." "He's the elf with the Heshic cloak, isn't he? He's the one who betrayed the Heshic tribe. He's the one who travels between the two groups of elves. How will you deal with him, when you find him?" I nod in agreement "The Good Man sa...

"He's a bad man. He does bad things, because that is what bad men do. This bad man is an elf, he's called MoonStrider Kin'tjanii. The Good Man told me he was bad and needed to be Dealt with. I was chasing him. He picked up a stick and sang something." looks at Laurel "Kinda like the n...

"He's a bad man. The Good Man said so. So he sent me to deal with the bad man."
