[QUOTE="Matthan, post: 7142432, member: 20005"] [ooc]Husam wouldn’t be trying that hard at this point. I’ll roll an insight just in case there’s something that would jump out at him, but he is very much taking Nimar at his word. [url=http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=167515]Husam Insight on Nimar: 1D20+4 = [2]+4 = 6[/url] Ha! That’s my black and white, trusting Husam![/ooc] Husam nodded again, "I thought as much." He paused for a moment and saw people gathering to continue their journey. "I must return to my post, but I pray that you'll grant me just another minute more. I have not traveled much in my life. I have only seen the sea from the distance, but I met a drunken sailor once who told me a story of it. He spoke of a boat at sea. The wind picked up and the sailors on the deck hurried to catch it in their sails. Below the deck, the boat had a company of rowers that extended their oars and proceeded to row in the opposite direction. The ship sat still in the water as the two forces worked against each other. The drunk thought this was a hilarious picture, but I confess I didn’t see the humor. It seemed sad to never gain ground. Pursuing what’s behind you instead of what life is pushing you towards seems like a tragedy of missed opportunity.” “My father once served the Sultan. It’s true. He felt the winds of Fate changing, pushing him towards a new life. He was afraid to leave what he knew, I’m sure, but he didn’t let that fear chain him to his past. He made the sacrifices he needed to follow where Fate was blowing. Nimar, look at the wind that has filled your sails. You were an outcast and now you travel with the Vizier, the very daughter of the Sheikh. You break bread in the company of the second highest official in our city. Do not let your attachment to the past hold you back from the future that Fate is pushing you towards. You were once men of stature and honor in Tajar. You can be such again, but you must seize the opportunity you have. Be the man of honor that you truly are, Nimar. The Sheikh and his Vizier are wise. Prove your heart and they will lift you to where you belong. The Loregiver teaches that a good name is worth more than gold. This treasure will not buy back your name in Tajar, but the Vizier can give it to you.” Husam lifts his hand to stop himself. “I am sorry. I hope that I have not offended you with my words, and I have taken enough of your time. Thank you for speaking with me.” With a slight bow, Husam turns away and returns to mount up his horse for the next leg of the journey. [/QUOTE]
