Kaiden followed Darkeye with a pinched brow, "My goal is the only one that matters. Survival. If what you want aids that, then I'm listening. Otherwise, find someone else." People's petty goals and unnecessary greed got them killed and usually ended up in them betraying others. The mershark refused to be that kind of person.
"Well, she referred to you as a friend." Kaiden didn't think Trinket would care that Darkeye refused the title, but it still rubbed them the wrong way. As did the man's flippant care for the child's wellbeing. Yes, the cleric was exactly the kind of person that Kaiden despised. Using and manipulating others only to talk about them behind their back and give zero care about their wellbeing. All while holding a high and mighty attitude. "Disgusting." The mershark mumbled to themselves.
"Trinket thinks in games and was trying to understand why I was hunting fish. I explained that life was the ultimate game that we all had to play, and that survival was winning. I told her the truth." Kaiden shrugged, "This world is dangerous, kill or be killed. If you want to 'win', you have to survive. And to survive you have to kill that which would kill you. Or kill to get what you need such as with hunting."
The mershark growled, "I have no need to harm the brat since she isn't interfering with my own survival." They shot Darkeye a pointed glare, "Not sure where you fall just yet."
