[Stubborn meet taller stubborn lady.]

It doesn't. That's the point. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes from all walks of life.

[mayberaven]

Wait- Last job we took about the gnome family we only did 'cause I insisted, and it was pretty selfish of me.

[Does Fjord even know why he's arguing this? Nope that would take self-reflection and we're not about that in this house!]

[anothergo]

Oh? Selfish how?

[mayberaven]

Well we were on a time limit for another job we were on our way to- could've messed it up for everyone if we got held up too long. But if we didn't help the parents the kid's would've been taken to an orphanage like I was and I knew it'd be terrible for them.

[Totally selfish amoral reasons!!!]

[anothergo]

[She debates if she should send him the definition of selfish.]

To summarize:

You set aside personal gain in order to keep a stranger's family together. Specifically, you insisted your group help them so that the children would not end up as orphans.

Remind me, what's selfish about that?

[mayberaven]

[It takes him a minute to respond as he is just sitting there for a second and swearing at himself for being all manner of idiot about this in the way only a sailor or soldier can.]

Well

if I hadn't known it personally I don't know that I'd have thought about it- totally selfish reasoning.

[He's well aware that is a stupid, stupid, weak argument.]

[anothergo]

[As promised, she's patiently waiting for it to register more solidly. She expects a rebuttal of sorts, but blimey the one he provides is terrible.]

I've drank domestic American beers stronger than that argument.

[That's saying something.]

You just told me you helped because you cared about the children, reinforcing my statement.

You probably changed the course of those children's lives for the better. That matters. It doesn't change your past, but it does matter to that family.

[mayberaven]

I

[Why is he arguing this so hard why is he being so dumb, what is his fucking deal today?]

I suppose-

[anothergo]

It's a good thing you did. Why are you fighting this so hard?

[mayberaven]

I

Honestly I couldn't even begin to tell you

[That's a goddamn lie but good luck getting him to admit that!]

[anothergo]

Have you ever heard of a therapist?

[She's not joking or teasing him. He probably has some Big Issues holding him back from seeing himself in a good light, and while she's happy to act a friend, it's sounding more and more like he needs more than that.]

[mayberaven]

A what?

[Look he needs so much fuckin' therapy. But like an idiot he's definitely gonna dodge that for as long as he can.]

[anothergo]

A therapist. They help people work through mental frustrations.

[She's happy to lead by example here too.]

[mayberaven]

Can't say I've heard of anything like that.

[Nope he's fine he definitely doesn't need that at all, totally the most emotionally balanced and well guy right here!]

[anothergo]

It might help to talk to one, now that you've heard of them. There's client patient confidentiality, so they're sworn to secrecy by oath.

[mayberaven]

I'll think about it

[Look he's gonna be dodging Caduceus passive and active perception as it is, he doesn't need another person like that perceiving him in the least!]

[anothergo]

If I find a good one here, I'll pass along their information.
