Things definitely changed during Ling's rule. Greed wouldn't have liked it (maybe he would've).

;)

I think Greed was learning (through Ling) that you don't have to be a dick to people in order to get what you want. You can be greedy AND nice about it- you get more bees with honey than vinegar kind of thing.

Of course, I was just teasing. I completely agree with the honey and vinegar allusion. The Greed/Ling dynamic was one of the best for Bro'hood. I'm glad that you incorporated it in your story.

Ling would certainly know the difference between being human and not and I could see him imparting those lessons to his (and others') kids.

Remember, I know more than most about the difference between being human and being a monster.

Oh, I like this line. The interaction between Ling and his family was great overall. Enjoyed this a lot!

This really sums it up for Ling.
