OP, if I am incorrect in my assumption, please let me know. You said Eric is like a cat. Nathanial never felt like a father/ son, and I am surely not disagreeing as you know much more than me after meeting Molly, but do you feel as if either would have ever been used up and eaten? I am wondering if they were looked at as pets, well, was it like we who love our pets, see them? I mean we know we will outlive most of them but we could never eat them. Sorry if a dumb question. I really like Eric and just wonder your opinion.Thank you.

Sorry, there were parts of the interview I had to cut due to length (word limit to posts) but this was addressed directly. When I say Eric is like a cat I mean he was untrainable, but a better predator while Molly was loyal without question. It seemed one of the main points of argument between the brothers was just that. Nathaniel’s bond was growing too strong, and he wouldn’t allow Eric to be slaughtered for meat no matter how ‘useless’ he became. While Molly’s master granted her gifts to allow her to live youthfully therefore never reaching the point of recycling.

Oh, please don’t be sorry! I understand completely. Great analogy. As a cat and dog owner( and lover), spot on! Fantastic interview, OP! I appreciate your response! Best of luck in your career, but I surely don’t think you will need it with skills like yours😊
