Comment by Galactic Navy Officer on Wandering Martial Assasin

@Wandering Martial Assasin Something else to consider, even if the youth did do it, there's a difference between a teenager who watched his family burn down and an infant who won't remember anything. The death of the barbarians will be "something that happened", not "something they experienced." Treat the baby with love and give them a warm home, and the death of the barbarians will be weighed against the people the child knows.
