Who: Lydia, Gale, and whoever wants to come a-callin'!
What: Lydia and Gale have to work in the stables for a week.
When: 2/9 - 2/15
Where: The Stables
Why: Because they broke curfew, that's why.

It's only a few hours of the day, but they're long enough for Lydia to generally feel tired and gross afterward. She does her best, and she does it without complaint, but after a while she does start to get weary of her hair smelling like pegasus dung from muckign out stables and her shoulder arching from holding grain bags and hauling hay and water.

She's happiest and makes the best of it when she's grooming the pegasi, spending time talking to them or humming a tune under her breath as she runs the brush and comb over their hides and gently preens and inspects wings for broken feathers.

"But they didn't just attack him, they attacked anyone, and without any attempt at discussion. They decided that what they were doing was so right nobody in camp mattered." Sky responded, from what she saw, the wolves did not want to talk, they weren't interested in anything but what they wanted. and what they wanted hurt people, so they were wrong.

"He hasn't done anything to be a danger to this camp. And if all they are looking for are campers that are less human than they are..." Sky was, well, far from human herself. Further, even, as she wasn't born, she wasn't turned into this, she has simply always been this. "I don't see why anyone in camp is right to attack him, until he does something bad."

"Of course you're right." Lydia says, "But my point is, if you look at it from the wolves' perspective, he's done something wrong. You see how the perspective can change?"

She's not seeing it, "But... they were clearly wrong, from an objective point of view they were doing harm that they didn't need to do. They made no demands on the camp, nor did they open a dialog. Their actions were... self important."

"The wolf that took off my arm didn't attempt to talk it out, they just attacked Hephaistion the moment we were spotted. I imagine I was ignored because he was a more obvious threat, but there actions were not kind. So any perspective of theirs is flawed on its face. The only reason I am still functional is that mechanical dragons that have drill teeth and breathe fire are scarier than werewolves." Sky was pretty heavily damaged in that fight, so it stands to reason she has trouble envisioning a point of view were the werewolves aren't evil and just wanted to kill a lot of people.
