Theirs Not to Reason Why 4: Hardship
“I did not shoot a real dog. I like dogs, particularly stubbies, and I certainly wouldn’t harm one without a very serious cause. What I shot was a Feyori Meddler, who did not die, so therefore there is and was no possible way that I could have killed a real dog that day. And I didn’t kill the damned Feyori that day, either.
. . . What? Don’t be ridiculous. Of course you can kill a Feyori, and I do mean for-real kill it. Dead-dead kill it. It’s just . . . really difficult, and comes with a hi...gh price attached. Particularly since a Meddler’s death upsets the balance of their precious Game. And no, I’m not going to tell you how to do it. They have just as much right to live as you or I . . . and yes, I know the irony of that statement, coming from me of all people.
