"How big is giant?"

"Pony-sized, I guess. Maybe a little smaller. I'm wondering whether I could get a flank steak off a three-foot-tall spider."

"Not that I know of. You'd probably have to range out of inhabited Equestria to find anything like that."

"Well, it was worth a shot. Fish is fine. Or bugs, if fish turn out to be people."

"They're probably not, it's just worth checking, because what if they were?"

"Well, it'd suck for the fish."

"Yes. Yes it would."

"I mean, I don't want to make it sound like I don't care. Eating innocent sentients is a shitty thing to do. But it's kind of funny."

"I don't think so."

"Understandable. I had a morally questionable upbringing."

"Hm?"

"Faeries kind of think that right and wrong are things that happen to other people. I was raised by one, so I'm sometimes a little less conscious of, uh, subtler moral points. Like not laughing at horrible things."

"Yeah. If I'm hurting somebody, it's bad unless they're doing bad stuff; if somebody else is hurting somebody, it's bad and I should make them stop unless the people they're hurting are doing bad stuff. And various extra rules in that theme. But I never really got around to the little finicky stuff. There was usually bad stuff to stop."

"There is a minor subtlety that even if the target of hurting is doing bad stuff that should be in some way relevant to the hurting - if somepony's kicking other ponies for no reason this is not justification for stealing their possessions - but yeah, that'll probably do for most purposes."

"Yeah, those would be the extra rules.That and similar. My moral code isn't two sentences long, don't worry. And I've got the basic moral instincts, just not- you know, whatever you get from being raised by someone who isn't weird and evil."

"Well, you're from a completely different culture anyway, so I'm not sure it'll amount to much more difference than there would have been regardless as long as you're here."

"Eh. You seem like nice enough folks. I might fit in alright."

"If I figure out how to shrink you."

"Magic and a sense of humor! I like this one."

Hee hee.
