Return!

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I'm tired, Mun. What do you wish of me? I have played your games before and found little enjoyment in them.

[He looks up from darning a blanket. Why yes, he can darn. Shut up. It's manly.]

What do you mean anything is possible?

Innocence is more important. Far too many children have their innocence taken away from them.

[adeptable]

Fair enough. Still, you deserve no unhappiness.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I will follow this new path. I hope it takes me somewhere nice.

[adeptable]

It will if you make it, ke'chara.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I wish I could introduce you to him.

[adeptable]

Stefen? I have met him, once.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Where? When?

[adeptable]

I think, ke'chara, you will simply have to wait and see. Futures are a delicate thing.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

You see him…in the future? How old is he?

[adeptable]

Half your own age, I was told.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

…so it's not that far in the future.

[adeptable]

No.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I wanted to know…that he survives.

[adeptable]

That I cannot say, ke'chara. Will that keep you from him?

[vanyel_ashkevron]

It will make me protect him fiercely.

[adeptable]

All the better, then.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

He's the bright light; I'm the shadow.

[adeptable]

"Shadow?"

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I keep no light for myself, teacher.

[adeptable]

I would ask why, but I know your answer.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

If he can change that, he is a miracle worker.

[adeptable]

He may be close to it.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Thank you, teacher.

[adeptable]

You are, as always, welcome, ke'chara.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Is there anything I can do for you?
