Long after Calabast had left his stateroom, Ves continued to think back on her words.
She seemed very confident that Ves would change his propensity for risk once he grew older.
"Where does she get that idea?" Ves scratched his head.
He didn't really feel like changing himself. Though he found his current circumstances to be very challenging, he didn't regret the choices he made.
No one won all the time. Every risky decision entailed the possibility of losing. Ves had already accepted this possibility when he initially made his bet. Even though the current circumstances exceeded his estimates, he only had himself to blame, and that was fine.
Perhaps the main issue of contention to him was that he felt a little conflicted about his principles.
As a Larkinson, he should seek opportunities, but at the same time care for his fellow Larkinsons.
