"I have no remorse for preying on those who live their lives preying on others. The slaughter of bandits is actually encouraged by the Imperial government, and most mercenaries are usually just a few steps away from them in terms of 'morality'. They will follow the gold, whether it means saving an orphan or burning down a remote town. The ones we avoid are those who would incur the attention of the Legion. As much as I would appreciate the challenge of fighting their army, they would not give up after one or two battles. I have to make sure that our hunting grounds are not too dangerous to operate in. Your Fighter's guild allies, Legion patrols, and other, more organized groups would attract too much attention if we attacked them. Some lycans would call this cowardice, but it is no different from a fox running from a larger predator, or a rabbit using its fur to camouflage itself against the grass. Protecting one's self from harm is a natural part of life, and there is no shame in doing so. We lycans may be apex hunters, but we are also prey in our own right. The Imperials have no issue with hunting us down, and there some who dedicate their lives to that very pursuit. In this way, we fulfill both aspects of Hircine's sphere: hunter and hunted." Meesei explained. She was aware that Fendros might have reservations about attacking some of those they preyed upon, but for the most part, there was little moral ambiguity, even from an Imperial perspective, about killing most of their targets. "Upon my own order, there is also one class of individuals that I specifically forbid attacking, regardless of how powerful they may be: scholars. Even if I was raised in a remote village, that does not mean I am ignorant of the plight of scholars and thinkers in Tamriel. Despite the fact that I would despise living in Imperial culture, I do recognize that it has its purposes in the world. The advancement of knowledge is a worthy cause and not one I wish to impede. That is also the reason I have such a considerable distaste for adventurers. Even if they are not out attacking families or extorting farmers like bandits, they do far more harm to this world than people realize. They have no issue with breaking into ancient and untouched ruins and taking their contents for themselves, all in the name of greed. Do you know how much knowledge has been lost to those looters? I would say they are especially worthy to be prey." Meesei said with a hint of her intense passion on the subject in her voice. She [i]really[i] hated adventurers.
