Takoa, Toa of Twilight
teachings_draft_1.crn //: LOAD NEXT PASSAGE
Third lesson: Do not treat death lightly. Do not martyr yourself needlessly, and do not kill thoughtlessly. You must take a life only when it is absolutely necessary. But when it is absolutely necessary, do not hesitate or falter.

T: And what of Takoa? He is also skilled with his weapons, is he not? V: He's nearly Tolme's opposite. T: … You sound concerned. I thought he was progressing well. V: Oh, he's taken to his elemental powers excellently. And he knows how to use the blades. I'm just… unsure of his motivations, given where his keenest interest seems to lie. T: I see. V: I was concerned at the very beginning when he chose his new toa tools. There's not many ways you can use those things nonlethally. T: Have you confronted him about these concerns? In private? V: Not yet, turaga. T: Make sure he understands the seriousness of these things. Tell him that by focusing on these parts of your teachings so acutely, he either drastically limits his usefulness or risks falling into shadow. V: And if he still doesn't branch out? T: It will be a shame he's holding himself back, but if he insists on specializing the day may indeed come when we need an assassin on call.
