"That sounds like an excessively complicated system!  I think you should... do the right thing, that's what the right thing is.  I suppose it makes some sense to split evil up that way, that some evil is done by law and some by lawlessness, but I don't think you can split good like that.  Sometimes the law is good and then you should follow it, and sometimes it's evil and you should break it," he slows down briefly, clearly having some sort of feeling about this, "but it depends on the law, not on... your alignment, whatever that is."

"—Uh, I might've explained badly — Lawful people think everyone should follow the law, not just Lawful people. Alignment is — what sort of person you are? But it's not that being Lawful Evil makes it so people have to think a certain way, it's... if they didn't think everyone should follow the law, they wouldn't be Lawful? If you think people should sometimes break the law you're probably Chaotic or Neutral."

...She is not at all sure that that was actually a better explanation. "I can try to explain a different way if that didn't make sense."

"I'm... not sure what the point is?  I believe you that your village divided people's personalities that way, but I don't understand what's important about it.  ... Or, no, it's that you think people go to different afterlives depending on this, but is there some reason they couldn't have lied to you about that?  The whole system sounds made up to me.  Like they were trying to convince you there's something more important than the difference between good and evil."

"—That's not why I think it matters, people should do the right thing even if it means they don't get the afterlife they'd've wanted the most. But—" 

She stops to think for a moment. 

It... probably wouldn't be that hard to lie about there being Lawful or Chaotic people? Definitely not harder than lying about the entire country of Cheliax, so if that part was really made up, then maybe that part of alignment could be too. (Actually, if the whole country was made up, then the Asmodeans probably couldn't be Lawful, at least not the ones in charge who knew everything, because they'd have known they were breaking the laws for the rest of the country.) She'd thought there were ways to check with magic, but that could be fake magic even if the rest of it is real.

(And she doesn't think the whole country was made up, she doesn't think her mother was lying about studying in Egorian, but she's not admitting she had a mother who was a wizard, and sometimes it's hard not to forget that something he said has to be wrong, if it's something she only knows for reasons she's pretending aren't true.)

Either way, she thinks it... makes sense that the Asmodeans would want people to think that being Lawful was important? Not for the reason he said — the Asmodeans didn't say that being Good was unimportant, they said it was worse — but because they didn't want people going around breaking the law, or what they said was the law. That doesn't mean Mr. Dąbrowski definitely is right, but — he could be, it's not like with the healing.

It feels very important to her that she's the sort of person who'll do the right thing no matter what the law says. It doesn't feel like quite the same thing as just saying that she's Good. But... it can be important, and not be... true about the whole world? That feels like it makes sense but she's not sure she could put it into proper words.

"—You're right, they could've been lying about that, and if they were lying about that then maybe they were working with demons after all."

That still sounds a little circular - if they were lying about the afterlives then they were probably also lying about how demons are importantly different from devils or whatever exactly it is she thinks - but she has the main idea, and they've probably had enough arguing about complicated things for now.  "Yes.  I don't really know what they were doing - it's just that most of whatever they told you was probably made up, and it's important not to get stuck thinking as if they were right about how the world works."  Which must be a really hard thing to do - trying to think about the world and consciously take out all the assumptions you grew up with.  "Hopefully things here will start making more sense to you when you see more of them."

Nod.

"Did you have more questions about anything, so far?"

Not that she seems shy about asking questions, fortunately.  But she still seems... something.  Closed off, like she's scared or doesn't trust him - both of which would be entirely reasonable and there's little he can do about them.

She has kind of a lot of questions, really, but she doesn't think she's going to run out anytime soon.

"Why does the water here taste so, uh," (Bad. Cursed.) "strange?"

"Does it?  It seems normal to me, but I suppose it would have to.  Strange how?"

"...Not like the water the priest made, and not like the water from the lake either?"

"I don't think I've ever drank water from a lake - you're not supposed to do that, it can make you sick. So I guess I wouldn't know.  Spring water is fine to drink, have you had that?"

"...I had some rainwater that landed in a rock? As far as I could tell it tasted normal."

"I'm pretty sure I've also had rainwater and it also tasted normal..  Maybe they're adding some chemicals to the tap water and you're better at noticing them than I am?"

"What are chemicals?" (She's not really clear on what a tap is, either.)

"Uh... Technically everything's a chemical - everything that's a single substance, like salt or sugar or metal or water, they'll teach you all about it in school - but what I mean is maybe they add in a bit of some medical substance to keep the water clean, or something like that."

"The priest said the water he made wouldn't make people sick, but I don't know if he was telling the truth."
