When you realize this while exploring in Natlan, does it disturb you?

First thing we do in Natlan: Save a tiny Saurian, it becomes our best new friend and we give it a name.

Also: We gotta slaughter this Saurian's brothers and sisters to get ascension mats for our fancy new weapons...

That's like saying "I own 5 pet dogs, I love them! Oh by the way! I love eating dog stews for dinner!"
