Teach Them To Be Excellent To One Another

[View of Tag and Sig]

The two Ferret men sat on a ridge just away around the side of the mountain, not too far from everyone else but out of sight and earshot. The guilt of what Sig had just done was eating at him, but Tag was with him.

"I can still hear them, now that I know that we could have saved them… what am I supposed to do now?" Sig asked as he looked down at his shaking hands.

"I have been thinking about that, but Sig, you are not a monster or a bad person. If you hadn't done what you did, we might have lost some of our own people, but I know that it doesn't make it right," Tag said, but Sig slammed his fists down on his knees and turned to Tag.

"Who does something like this? The better question is, why are they allowed to do it in the first place?" Sig asked with anger and pain in his voice, but Tag put a hand on his shoulder and smiled at him sadly.
