Date: 2012-03-18 01:40 am (UTC)I found this very intriguing, Richard and Strider almost (but not quite) splitting hairs over the concept of sellswording (by whatever name): Strider the idealist believing his is more honorable because he does it for a purpose larger than himself, and Richard, the pragmatist,preferring his because it is his means of supporting himself and those he loves.
