The best that Bast could do at first was give Harry a puzzled look, trying to sort out everything the other wizard had just said. It wasn't the easiest task for Bast considering that in the morals department, the hamster running that wheel had gone on vacation long ago and not come back.

"But if I hadn't done what Dolph, Mother, and Father said, I would have been evil. They told me so! Everyone knows that."

Bast frowned, getting frustrated and simply unable to grasp the concepts Harry was trying to get through to him. Psychologists would have sympathized with Harry, especially Stegman who had been cursed to being Bast's doctor. Bast never would truly understand good and evil. All he could ever get was a child's understanding that people liked it when he did Thing A and didn't like Thing B. Being around those with good morals helped him decide which people liked, of course, but that was the closest he cold get.

Bast scowled and crossed his arms, giving poor Harry a half-hearted glare that said Bast thought Harry was teasing or trying purposely to confuse him.

"So... what about the monsters that are going to try to eat you and everyone else up tonight? Are they evil or good?"
