Diplomatic Immunity: Wedding Bells a'Ringing

"I'm glad to hear it. Just let us know if you are ever coming, and we'll try to arrange some time for you to have an audience."

"The big picture is important, but the boy can't deal with the small details, and failing to grasp them is a dire flaw in character. While the big picture needs to be seen to advance, the small details must be mastered in order to keep everything from falling apart."

"Thank you, that's kind of you."

"He'll learn. I'd feel better about Ammon than Orin, who can't seem to see beyond hunting," Vasha shudders.

“The Praetor lifespan is about ninety years on average, though some do make it past a century. It’s definitely far less than an Altanian though, as they live for centuries. So, how long is the average Rowaini lifespan?”

(OOC: Did I say 90 before--I would have been wrong. It should be somewhere around 125 on average for Praetors (which is where they go Venerable). Well, 90 might be right if you take into account the ones who died young in battle. Keep in mind that Venerable age's start age is about average for death for a non-PC.)

"Ah. A normal Rowaini man would be lucky to see ninety. Sometimes they can pass a century if they are very lucky indeed. Sometimes, for some people...normal is a dream they will never know. My poor sister, for instance. And even me."

"It is my pleasure."

"Orin has fairly decent perseverence if you convince him that something is like hunting, but admittedly he's no more ready than Ammon for leadership. Fortunately, if Orin was my first son, he's young enough that there's time. Thanks to Ammon and his incredibly slacking and procrastination, the time draws imminent when I have to pass over rulership to him and he's nowhere close to where he needs to be. I fear the whole family will be ruined."

"It'd better not be, you old doomsayer," Tyrus chuckles, "My daughter is about to become your family tomorrow."

"Well, I believe Brother will be fine. He's got a better head on his shoulders than you give him credit for, and now he'll also have a strong woman to help guide him as well."

"And I think you don't know him as well as his father does, young lady. He might have the right skills to be a fairy unicorn princess or something, but he doesn't have what it takes to manage the business."

"I think you're worrying too much. Besides, you still have time to teach him, and with the change being iminent, maybe he'll listen more?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"The transfer already is imminent. And I was foolish enough to believe as you do. That's why he had to go on that journey, but he failed miserably and proved that he hasn't changed. He's a disgrace to this family."

"What did you expect, for him to come back and made trade routes with every planet in the Spheres? He's made some friends, and learned to understand the culture a bit, and that will help him more than you may think in negotiating things."

"Besides, I think you should be proud of him for the man he's become. Focusing on his faults won't help him fix them, but teaching him how to use his assets will."

"He made poor choices and failed at his stated goal. If a blacksmith is commissioned to make a sword and makes a great shield, he has still failed. He made none of the right friendships or considerations. Focusing on what he does well already. like daydreaming, is foolish, as it only encourages him to pursue that and ignore what matters."

"So you don't think Princess Lhazra of Arris is a good contact?"
