"I wasn't always like this, but thank you for speaking of me in a positive manner. I had to learn the hard way I was hurt a few times, but I've always survived and now I know better."
His thoughts were flowing clear for once, and he didn't sound insane.
Which is what many thought of him, he was even managing to stay away from the temptation of speaking backwards to Saphira.
"One tells me to kill the other tells me its wrong. ....I do not know who is right." Oba frowned raising himself he did not have a proper
definition of what was evil and what was good.
Saphira could say again that it was wrong to kill, but that wasn't going to be enough, because to his logic Zira says kill Saphira says don't if both can say what they want then who or what could help him decide who is right.
"And Thank you, Saphira." Oba said with a nod.

She nodded as he spoke, happy that he was one who always progressed somehow. She also understood him easily and this made her content in their conversation. Though, her head cocked to the side at his other comment.
"What is right? Well, I am not going to say that I have not killed before. It still doesn't make it right, but there are those that find killing as the only answer. I only killed because my fellow kin was in danger, and without sacrificing some evil, all hope of survival and a peaceful world would have been lost.
What is it, that you desire Oba? I am interested to hear, if that is alright. I am interested in why you are pondering such, it is a complex matter."
So that was what swamped his mind, and it now made sense to her. How strange to be pondering such an issue as that, though from her experiences and watching other forms of history, she was aware of how to take these matters personally. In reality, wrong and right was something that one must determine themselves, and not from others.

Oba tilted his head a word she used he had
never heard before. He searched his mind and found no
answer he knew he had to ask.
"What is peaceful?"
Oba's face changed again as he thought about what she
said. His ears twitched about as if looking for the answer.
"What do I desire?" Oba fell silent after speaking.
What did Oba desire no one had ever asked him
that before. Did he desire anything?
Oba had always lived his life just surviving and
doing as he was told. Was there more to life then that?
"Zira my friend she says the world is weak and needs purification.
I suppose that is my desire and to purify the world one must kill its weakest parts. Right? I'm confused now Saphira.
Do I listen to what you say or still follow what my childhood friend says?"
Oba looked down his mind shouting at him.
This new concept boggled his mind. What was he to do?

"Peaceful is a state where, while ignoring insignificant differences, many are able to flourish together without produced pain or unhappiness. It is an even flow of life, where all is able to connect together as an entitiy that works together. It is truly remarkable, and that should be a goal to consider."
He was obviously VERY confused, but when someone is told only a few bits of knowledge, it is understandable to only refer to what one knows, rather then take in everything and choose for themselves.
"You friend obviously has her own opinion on the world. Opinions vary with each person, and especially through their experiences. That's why, it is always important to determine your own sense of destiny, rather then only conclude it as something you had heard.
I am not saying that is what was entirely done, but it is important to acknowledge yourself as a free thinker as well, Oba." She smiled to him, hoping that her words could help him somehow.
"You should find out what you desire most, and also what you value. Purification is ridiculous, I am sorry to say, in my own opinion of course. No entity has the right to determine what is valuable or not, and that is another thing that you should rethink."
She hoped that her words did not strike him too harshly, so she spoke softly in a friendly tone. She hoped her words meant something to him.

"I don't think peaceful is something this world could live in. There is always bad things and we must protect ourselves from them so the fighting of differences will never end."
Oba gave Saphira a calm look he was getting used to her again. His body seemed to become less tense as the moments passed. Oba seemed to think hard about what Saphira said. He didn't want to be confused and was fighting it, but he just wasn't sure what to do.
"I'm not sure....I know how to know my own desires?But if I disagree with her she isn't qonna want to be around me anymore. I don't want to be alone again I've been alone to long before she came took me out of the desert and brought me here. I'm confused I don't know what I should do now."

He was obviously more conflicted then she had thought, and she watched him as he argued with himself. She knew that feeling, having to decide what is right for oneself.
"If she wouldn't want to be around you anymore, then that should be a clear indication that she is untrustworthy. Those that love you should always respect the decisions that we make, and love us for what we are." Her eyes glided to a small rabbit at the side of the forest, but they came back to Oba's almost instantly.
"I understand that she helped you, but that doesn't give her the right to overpower your decisions." Poor fellow, she kept thinking. Though, she was impressed that he was considering his own thoughts.

Oba watched Saphira for a moment as she spoke his eyes followed her's to the rabbit but met her's back as she took her attention away from the little creature. Eyes were another way Oba sensed motives and one ears flicked oddly as he tried to figure out why the rabbit was of any interest, but soon he began to try and think again.
"But.......she would fight for me right now,but if I do disagree with her it won't be the same there is no room for the weak minded as she would say. Love?...no its not love at least....I don't think it is. A herd stays together to stay safe and not to be alone not for love. Love is silly and gets in the way of survival.I've never really been accepted for who I am...well I mean you don't seem to mind but I'm not talking backwards or chasing my tail like I like too,I've always been the black sheep." Oba cracked a grin though he was still very very confused.
"I guess from what your saying is that it is better for one to be themselves and be alone then be like everyone else and be in a crowd?"
Oba tilted his head a bit and awaited her answer.

"Yes.." She said, almost too beautifully. "That is exactly what I am saying Oba." She smiled to him and curled her tail around her back leg. "Love doesn't get in the way of survival at all. It actually helps in surviving." She wondered if he would ever realize that.
"I've never really understood the herd thing, so I can't relate on that issue." Her eyes flicked on the comment. "But I can tell you, that you should be more confident in yourself. Also, learning to live on your own is a wonderful step in self realization."
A swift breeze hit her body, and she enjoyed the feeling from it. She kept looking at Oba before proceeding further in their conversation. "Before you understand the basics of love, you have to learn the basics of yourself." She nodded solemnly.
