[QUOTE="Rastfar, post: 3494112, member: 9596"] 20 Sek, 637 M.Y. We have not yet been together a fortnight and yet it feels longer. I imagine that despite the brevity, the time I have spent with these people serves to make the events occurring within that period more significant. In this way it is easier to learn more of an individual than in three seasons of casual interaction. Perhaps this is why Timotheus goads me. I must somehow provoke him unknowingly: such that he seeks to enlist my ire. I would be wont to cross more than words with him, though he is a seasoned soldier and would surely show me my humility. And I concede that he chafes me, but I had not a notion that my derision was so extroverted. For every time he insists on calling me eggplant, he does no disservice to me, but rather one to those who sought to colour me. He insults my fellow alumni, the naming tradition, and the very Academy of Wizardry itself. For I had no part in becoming in the Aubergine, beyond which my fellow classmates saw it of me; and while he may not be able to change being baseborn, having the poor opinion of a Watch-Mage, or a lack of intellectual scope, I took no part in making him that way. It is my hope that by ignoring his slander and continuing to set a higher example, one of value, merit, and caliber, that he can learn of virtue from me as I can expand on my knowledge of tactics and martial skills as instructed by him. My fear is that he derives his courage from liquor, his strength found in the fathoms of a flagon. He has a fondness for the drink rivaled only by those who bear great burdens of woe. Even as we travel he is sure to press a flask to his lips. Is it that I volunteered to share a room with Victoria? Did he wish for some other design? In truth it would have been most appropriate for Laarus to share her accommodations, but I was loathe to share with Timotheus and still a trifle resentful of Laarus for his impertinence with Oroleniel. Victoria does not speak much and we get along well enough. She does not mince words, nor hesitate to speak her mind. She is curt and upstanding, if a bit stiff. I find her to be honorable, forthright, and we are in agreement the majority of the time. I would not have preferred to while away the time with anyone else, awaiting the determination of heir Briareus’ scheming. My only wish is that Telemakhos is not leading us into a situation proving more than we are equipped to handle. While his intentions may be philanthropic, it is possible that he has been fleeced. As it is his custom to only satisfy the will of those that would gratify his own, I do not expect that his judgment shall prove shrewd. I anticipate we will be in dire peril shortly after our arrival. [/QUOTE]
