Curufin had been raised to follow his father's and his older brothers' orders, but he had never liked being a follower. And now, in his second life as a traveler of the multiverse, he made most of his own decisions and found it a satisfying way of being. He would do everything he could to encourage others, including this young ninja, to adopt the practice of deciding for themselves.

"I suppose it's common in many worlds for the adults to teach their sons and daughters the skills they themselves live by. If you don't have much social experience, then you wouldn't know that, but it seems to be usual."
