Hence the "or convert." Hopefully he won't waste a great gift on her.

[Mlamlah]

That could get dangerously close to emotional manipulation of our child, which i don't think is a good idea. If we do give him a playmate, we shouldn't interfere muchly in how he interacts with her. Though, perhaps we could teach her skills alongide our son.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I certainly agree with "don't manipulate his interactions." I would advise advising him to think twice before giving her a great gift. Advise him to give her a not-so-great gift and to save the great ones for children or perhaps very special women.

As for the play mate idea, it's a double edged sword, he may find love and fear, but he may also become to attached and refuse to kill.

My thoughts exactly.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Let's at least learn what we got. But I am against turning the captive into a playmate

[GreatWyrmGold]

Is the captive even alive?

[anailater]

Not the captive, a young elven girl, perhaps we could teach her to become a fine warrior, and then if he does convert her she will already have power.

[Thecard]

Naw, let's eat the bitch.

[Mlamlah]

If he train his playmate then the issue of gift-giving won't be as *much* of an issue, because at least we will know she is capable.

[Thecard]

Yeah, it generally isn't a good idea to let your child bond with the Christmas ham.

He is very young and impressionable, and won't lust for fear until he is much older.

[Mlamlah]

I actually think it's a great idea for him to develop a childhood friend for him to attach to, that might help teach him the lesson we know well that some of our consorts do not: restraint. Once his instincts kick in he probably won't want to kill his friend, and the lesson will be learned that even though night trolls tend towards evil we need not be evil in every action, sometimes compassion and friendship is a better tool than tooth and nail.

[Thecard]

But we don't want him to dissociate mortals and food.
Give him a lovebird or bear cub as a pet instead.  Same general lesson, with not eating everything he finds, but this way he won't become hesitant when told to kill Elves or Humans.

I like this idea.

Just have him eat other people. He should learn that while most people are okay to kill if you must, some people are worth keeping alive if you can.

[anailater]

But will he be willing to convert her?

[Mlamlah]

Lets leave the decision up to him if we go down that route of thinking, give him some free will of consequence.
