I don't understand. You say I am "yours", and yet, I still have a will of my own. You say we will have "lots of adventures", but that's the thing I want the least. All I want is to stay in Gridania and mend scraped knees.

I don't mean to question, but... when Hydaelyn picked me for this, She picked wrong. I'm not cut out for the adventuring life.

So please. Let me rest.

Graciously yours,
Sorcha Bryon, Conjurist

[she's… somewhat aware that some people aren't as interested in adventuring, but it's still weird to think about. Still, that's not the point, and she passes it over after a moment to think. She doesn't think Hydaelyn could have picked wrong, surely…]

Perhaps you have qualities you yourself are not yet aware of?

[it's all she's got.]

[whocomeafter]

Perhaps. It seems as though I have barely even begun to scratch the surface.

[Sorcha breaks into a tiny smile that vanishes just as quickly as it came. It's true that she's done things she wouldn't have even dreamed of before arriving in Gridania.]

But it still frightens me sometimes. With so many enemies lurking in the wings...

[unyieldingspirit]

…it's possible things could become overwhelming.

[which is not particularly a good thought. Which also means it's not one K'pandolu is about to spend too much time on. Or at least not the negative aspects of it.]

But… you're not alone in this, are you? I'm sure others will support you. [after all, this is about the future, isn't it?]

[whocomeafter]

No. I'm not alone. That is, er, there are others out there willing to help. Some of them are nice, some of them are rude, but... we all pull together.

[It's a comforting thought. Not alone. Never truly alone. Not as long as there is hope.]

And together, not even the Twelve could bring us down.

[unyieldingspirit]

Well, there are all kinds of people, so… any group will probably have some mix of those. [shrug!] But that's the most important thing.

[she flicks an ear lightly at that.]

Well, I shouldn't imagine it'll come to that. But it's good to hear you have such faithful companions!
