oh, well.

Our best efforts were made, m'lady. What is not meant to be is not meant to be.

There will be other opportunities that will no doubt present themselves. I am patient. In fact, I am not so eager to try again so soon. If we take our time, and not rush, we will find our place.

Where did you go?

[reiks]

A city I do not lament leaving very much at all. Save for a spare few's company.

[euphrasie]

If it was not the best place for you, then you were right to leave it!

What - what was it like, where you were?

[reiks]

It was a city several centuries after my time, with ... odd rules and ways of life. I do not believe more need be said.

[fey_bear]

Sometimes things take time, I've had to explain this to my own mun on more than one occasion.

[reiks]

There is little benefit to be gained indeed, when one rushes headlong into situations not properly planned or thought out.

[fey_bear]

Exactly. Just have to take the time to find the right place. Sometimes it's hard to get the balance, though, how hard to look versus how much not to push if the fit's not right.

[reiks]

I think, given previous efforts, some time away from the search will do us both some good.

[fey_bear]

Sometimes it does. A bit of time without looking and without trying to fit somewhere sometimes makes it all a bit more solid. Makes it easier the next time around.

[reiks]

Rounds of which, I've no doubt there will be many.

[fey_bear]

There usually are, just don't let her wear herself, or you, out trying too often or too hard.

[reiks]

Well thought advice, and already taken under consideration. It would be a mistake we all would lament making.

[fey_bear]

As long as you've got one of the ones that actually listens to good advice, you're probably in good hands.

[reiks]

I do not fret. She treats me kindly, thus far.

[fey_bear]

And that is always good to hear. Nice to know that some of them don't take on too much.

[reiks]

She has, in the past. Lessons have been very well learned, in that respect.

[fey_bear]

That is a lesson mine has yet to learn, but she will, sooner or later.
