"Then in essence it seems you are agreeing that Todiel - the body of the
troll - is not the guilty party. The question then arises - is there still
a remnant of the innocent troll inside the body or is it merely the
bodysnatcher, which resides there now?" Ayoë speaks more calmly now. It
seems the scholarly question has her interest to such an extent as to make
her forget the surroundings.
Shalandra looks up at the fair elf. "I feel that the rightful owner of the troll's body has long since died. The being inside the troll must have moved into the troll many many years ago. I do not know what original race the one that calls himself 'Todiel' originally was. Or to why he would continue to swap bodies and live here."

"Actually, morals is what sets us apart as Namegivers from those, who you
mentioned. Gnashers, Scorchers and so on - they have no concept of right
and wrong and no restraint beyond the simple needs of their own lives. So
we need to take the time to have this debate - if we do not, we fail as
Namegivers ourselves." Ayoë meets Peans gaze and holds it, almost
challenging.
"I could just step out of this debate and say that it is none of my
business, as I do not know the entire picture. But that too would be wrong.
I would not be showing much character if I stepped down at the first sign
of confrontation. So you'll have to excuse my rude and forward manners in
this matter."
Ayoë turns her eyes down in a demure and apologetic way, which seems very
sincere. She even blushes a bit, perhaps startled that she has taken such a
strong standpoint. Her skin shines in the light with the color of ivory.
Somehow she seems made for a gentler life than that of an adventurer.
Courtier, yes. Scholar, yes. But adventurer? That remains to be seen.
*** OOC: Congrats. Mark! And yes, this is a great debate :) ***
