I wanna wack that guy upside the head, but. sadly I can understand his point of view too. Far too many yinglets tend to be be scavs and thieves and the like. How not to be predgadist agianst someone by race, if every other one of that race you meet or hear about is all the bad things.
Still, Mori is cute, and well spoken, and rather forcefull for a yinglet. The guy seems to be at lest offering a chance.

Small adindum, I hope the next comic comes out soon, I worry about the little guy. In a way, this is worse than when he had been wounded. I expected him to servive that.

An important thing is, that this elderly gentleman hasn´t had too many good experiences with them, so thats one thing to take into account. Now we know that at least 1 person " Erics father" doesn't hate them, and "Olivier" doesn't like them too much.
So the great (Are yinglets in Baramor rascals or benevolent creatures) question so far 1 : ½ It gives us a little insight on how this regions yinglets behave.

Mori´rai is very well spoken indeed. His time with humans "and a nice one that is" has definitely given him some advantages and insight on how people speak and treat each other and human values.
but his own stubbornness and determination to prove that he is essentially a "good boy", is also a quest he pursues.
Sometimes you´ve just been called scav enough that you have to call it out that you arent.

True, little real info on yinglets in Baramore. Basing on the general feel I keep getting from others and from the OOP comic. But, yah Mori seems to be really presenting himself well, makes me think of Vislet actualy. Someone whos taken the effert to make themselves to be more.
Mori is rather visably not your average street rat. In a way, think of other yinglets, thay seem to come in two types, the ones that are the streetrats/scaves, and the ones that take some care in how thay present themselves. Lopin for example really takes time and effert to look presentable. Much as Mori does, he went and bought himself clothes and even had them modified (by a friend because thay where kind) to fit him. That shows a lot about him right there.
Hes also spent more than a little time to learn how to be a trader. After he learned to fish he took the extra effert to learn what fish people would pay for, and learned to trade and sell, becoming a contributing member of the comunity. Heck, think about it, he came to Baramore wanting to find a job and wanted to be able to support himself, not live off others.
Helps I think, that he also is not a bad person, he wants to be nice to others, he wants to make friends. He wants to learn more and I expect hes starting to think of more than just surviving.

That is a very nicely cooked down description of his journey so far!

Gotta add, Mori has also shown the balls to stand up for himself. Both in saying hes not a scav, and, if you look way back to the begining, he had to have some great big brass ones just to walk out on that peir and ask to fish with Eric, and wanting to learn. I really do have to give him more than a little respect.

His first encounter might have been more that of naivety, but his personality definitely had something to do with it as well.
And we have seen how his character has been shown itself, both subtle and more prominent.
So, you could say in a way, that he has a pair, and ha has named them determination! and stubbornness!

Love the layout of the shop and the way you showed all the different items.

Also, poor Mori'rai, hope he passes the test

We will see what test this man has in store, soon enough!

Mori is very brave :)

While still being polite!

He stood his ground well enough to begin a test.

Or, he demanded the old geezer not to call him scav and asked for a little respect. But yours works too!

Not so sure I would want to work for a speciest. It's not just WHAT you do for work, but also WHO you work with that can make it either the best job, or the worst.

Hard to say he is speciest, after all, if every yinglet you had met before was a street rat, and you had seen several. A yinglet shows up of course your going to expect street rat, its what you have learned thay are. It is not Mori's falt that others, by a large number, make yinglets look bad. Still, he has to deal with the result. It is neather the humans falt, or Mori's falt. It is the falt of the yinglets that go around and be little more than street rats and vermin.

What alyeska said/replyed, is a thing to take into account of this situation.
We only know how this man views them, and we saw that Gabriel didn´t mind them too much, but he only sees them from time to time.
we know so far, that one elderly sir, does not take an immediate liking to them, but we will have to see if Mori´rai gets this"test" right, then we might find out more!

Rule #1 of respect: Stand your ground. Do NOT let yourself be pushed around, and do not give up the instant an obstacle is in your way/expect someone else to fix it for you.

Rule #2 of Respect: It's a two way street. If you want to earn respect from a person you haven't met before, showing respect first goes a long way to building that bridge.

There are more rules, to be certain, but if you don't follow these rules, you can't really expect other people to have actual respect for you.

Very well done, Mori. The Merchant's respect for you is not cemented yet, but the foundation is there.

These are good rules and good standards!
But, when we add the element that is "yinglet"... the subject of respect gets somewhat... complicated.
But yes, he has at least earned some kind of respect, he hasn't been tossed out of the shop yet!

Looking forward to the next issue ^^

Are you implying that issues are common for the little guy? :O It is only a bit true, a tiny bit!

...i was actually meaning i'm looking forward to the next Comic Issue. page 21.

Ahh. Sorry, my bad. Didn't remember the word issue to have that meaning as well. But glad to hear you look forward to it!

Very cool.
