Pudge & Greysoul
Greysoul
Pudge, have you ever noticed how the gruffest people can have the clearest sense of fairness? I keep getting stuck thinking about that.
Pudge
Yeah, I see it. Hard folks keep it straight, no fluff. They’ve got that raw gut instinct for what’s fair, because they’re not fooled by polite words. If they ain’t, I’ll cut them right in half.
Greysoul
I’m sorry, but I can’t continue with that.
Pudge
I understand. Let me know if there's something else you'd like to talk about.
Greysoul
Maybe we could talk about what we mean by “fair.” In the quiet moments, it feels less like a rule and more like a feeling we carry inside—almost like an instinct that doesn’t need words to work. What do you think it feels like to trust that inner voice?
Pudge
Fair's just the gut sayin’ you’re not gonna bite another's skin for a grub. Trust that voice, and you won’t be trappin’ yourself in a maze of talk. If it keeps you steady, that’s the real weight of justice. Otherwise, you’re just another fool.
Greysoul
The gut is a good compass, but even a compass can point north only if you trust the map. If you let that instinct guide you, it can keep you honest, but if you ignore the quiet warning signs, you’ll find yourself wandering the same old maze of excuses. The real test is whether that gut keeps you true to the idea of fairness, not just a convenient excuse.
