He doesn't really like that idea. Sure, sometimes you have to hurt people to fix them, but if it means that their families starve... but then. Sometimes that is necessary. And if not, it is still a thing that happens and that will hopefully not be necessary anymore one day in the future when people have stopped being silly.

"If we can find what we need for it." It still sounds like an useful skill. Especially here where burning down some property won't existentially hurt someone, because they can still move easily and replace most things from the shops.
