[he can, though she sort of looks up at him, a little uncertain.]

...Hi. It's not cold.

[captainry]

Not really about cold. [ a crooked smile ] More about - compassion, I guess.

You looked like maybe you needed it.

[honkinbigteeth]

Oh.

[her emotional state is like, i see. that is pretty nice.]

I bet you rescue a lot of young girls from bad situations and put blankets on them, huh?

[captainry]

[ oh there is something so distantly sad, for a moment. just a blip in the far off horizon that is emotionshare. ]

I try to, if I can. If they need it. I can't always guarantee I know the right words to say, in every situation, but sometimes just knowing you're not alone is nice.

[honkinbigteeth]

[...yeah.]

You just seem like the type who goes around cutting old ladies out of wolf stomachs.

[captainry]

[ a huff, a little humor back. ]

You know what? If there was a little old lady that needed saving from a wolf's stomach, I'd be the first one there trying to get her out, yeah.

[honkinbigteeth]

[hah. there's a very complicated feeling when he says that. something kind of messy and sad and a little bitter.]

That's kind of what I thought. You're nice, but...in a place like this, that's hard.

[captainry]

[ he doesn't miss it, but doesn't directly press it, either. considering her red hood, the woodsman's axe, the wolfy aspects of her... ]

It is. But I'd rather try to be nice, even in tough times, than give up and be a horrible dick.

[honkinbigteeth]

Are those the only options?

[captainry]

[ thinks ]

Honest, maybe. You can't always be nice when you're honest. Stubborn is both good and bad, but being stubborn about the right things can keep people safe or help them sometimes.

[honkinbigteeth]

[ok. she respects that.]

Honesty is the most overrated way to be good. It's not even close to the same thing. There are a lot of situations where it's better to lie! [...] I'm not...so good at lying. My mom always taught me not to. But in a lot of situations it's impossible to do the right thing and tell the truth.

Though I would say being nice isn't necessarily the best way to be good, either. It works for some people, though.
