In the desert he would just usually hunt an animal he could find mostly mice and gazelles. Max thought on the amount of food the master had.[color=green] 'If one could get anything they wanted would they ever know the feeling of want again? Maybe simply the act of never wanting could bring down ones survival instincts.'[/color] [color=green] " hmm"[/color] he hummed absent mindedly as he kept thinking about it [color=green]' or maybe the feeling of having everything you want would simply raise your survival instincts as you've gained so much but now you just fight to keep it'[/color] Max continued to think ignoring the outside world for now as he mentally talked to himself. [color=green] ' In the desert you had to push yourself and do what you needed and whatever you wanted, there was no one else but you , but now you have been taken in by a wizard and things are different there are now unforseen consequences and foreseen consequences and rules.'[/color] he thought to himself. [color=green] ' My attitude must change this isn't the desert I must be smart and think rather than act on instinct rather than self survival.'[/color] he thought. He then heard the masters comment on how it was his family in the painting. [color=green] 'His family? But he seems to be the only one left...I wonder if he is lonely with just these golems , a imitation of life and not the real thing, maybe that's why he accepted us'[/color] maxes face was one lost deep in thought. He then heard the masters prayer about the goddess of magic. [color=green] ' gods and goddess huh? Where were they when my family was killed? But then again if they gave or this gift of magic they can't be so bad, but why would they stop all contact? Unless they are seeing if beast-men and humans can survive on their own.'[/color] shaking his head Max decided that was enough philosophy for one day and turned his eyes on the food.[color=green] ' hmm I will allow myself to take more than I need this once'[/color] he thought then smiled as he took one piece of food from each dish that had been brought out. Max then croaked and began to eat deciding he would become a better overall apprentice.
