Now that elf on the other hand is another story. We all know what elves are like. I am but a traveler taking a short break on my journey. I am just trying to be helpful to Toshiro. I noticed that sometimes he has problems saying the right things, so I am only trying to be helpful when I create a lesser telepathic bond with him and tell him what to say. My efforts to tell stories about his great and brave deeds is only because I want the rest of the empire to know the truth about him. Toshiro has always been kind to me so I am just repaying the kindness. Now Verick on the other hand has never expressed that same kindness toward me. I will of couse defer to him when he is in charge, but I would much rather have Toshiro in charge since he seems to trust me. There is though a small bit of satifaction right now as Verick learns what it is like to be in charge. I had that experience not long ago in our trip to the Shinnomen and it is fun to see Verick have to make the complicated decisions for a change. I wouldn't mind too much if Kaz were to lead. He seems a fair and practical person who will keep his word. His lack of standing in society seems to basicly related to his off hours partying. Now of couse if Kaz were in charge I would have to make more of an effort to be discreet about some of my off hours activities (Not that of couse I am doing anything innapropriate, I just like my privacy in taking care of personal matters). Now of course Leadership in the group is a more nebulus afair than it might seem. Only Mindra and Kaz are tied directly to Toshiro and even those ties are not neccesaily immutable. Mindra is following the wishes of his ancestors in looking after Toshiro, if the ancestors had a change in plan I am not sure what he would do. Toshiro is equl in rank to Kaz, but in charge because he is Lord Jayku's son-in-law. Kaz is also with us not due to personal ties but because the Crab assigned him to keep an eye on Toshiro and help him remember his Crab heritage more that his Crane behaviors. Verick has no formal ties and considers himself an equal to Toshiro, he seems to follow only because it suits him in some other way I don't understand. Volar has sworn loyalty to no-one and seems to be in things for himself, I'm sure he will follow whoever it is in the best intrests of Volar to follow. Hawk is not a full member yet and it is yet to be determined what his place is. I have sworn an oath to Lord Jayku and the Unicorn, not Toshiro. Toshiro is the leader because more people are willing to follow him than Verick, not because anyone has sworn loyalty to Toshiro directly. As with the case right now, and in our trip to the Shinomen, leadership can and is assumed by others when they are the more natural choice in a given situation.Mir</blockquote>
