*nod* Chicken broth, little salt, maybe sage & rosemary (if fresh).

HA

i have mrs grass with the magic egg, ya'll

Um. Is that....??

soup

tiny little noodles

boullion egg

it's childhood bronchitis/strep throat/flu/etc food

Sometimes just the stuff from childhood helps. Comfort.

yup

Had a series of phone calls to make here. Done!

woo

we need to deal with ER

or maybe not? I don't know

Samhain is Z's favorite holiday

I'd love to. *G*

still odn't know about the omen

that's stuff about August, and I don't want to dictate?

hi rae

I understand. You might talk with Valley about it? As a player, I'm stymied by August's uncertainty. I mean... I could force something, but I figured this was also a good way to get him at ER for Samhain.

I don't know what YOU want for august

When I look at the character objectively, he's well educated and smart, handsome, has worked hard and has a number of skills and talents.... believe it or not, he has too many options?

Half of him wants to leave school, -maybe- after his AA, and be Sir August. The other half wants to finish school with his Bachelor's and become a... sociologist. No, lawyer. No, minister of some kind? No, Social worker. No.....

I mean.... any of those -could- work for him. Oh, add linguist, no, interpreter in there too. So...

Right

Cora, quite frankly... well...

It doesn't have to be -specific- but I think Valley has a long term vision so I would get with him when you can and toss it back and forth? Omens are -meant- to be .... symbolic. Vague, adaptable.

he wants to be Coradel's consort more than anything

*chuckle* Coradel.

Well, he IS that. That's his passion; his family (now).

But that's a waste

So how best to serve them, the mortals he owes his duty to, and EarthRunes as an extension of his family and his duty?

Maybe Z can read Tarot. Read him paths.

A waste how? I would value your thoughts.

Because, as you said - he is smart, talented, a fighter. He wants to change the world.

And so often, instead... he places himself second to Cora

She leads, he follows

She goes off on an adventure, he sits despondent

he's "Cora's consort" and not so much "Cora's partner"

Hey, he wasn't upset till she was LATE...

*nod* There's a power imbalance in the relationship for SURE. He's got no drive to gain rank, because it's fruitless; who'd give rank and take a Liam's Oath?

Like - EBG and CC? Partners.

YES. That, they are.

I think that would be a topic that could be addressed in the Omen, though; the August/Coradel power imbalance. If you want.

That's one Zara sees and part of why she resents Cora

Not just because she took Aug - but because August doesn't seem like an equal, and that Aug seems terrified of losing her/being unworthy - when, of course, he's worth ten of her.

(Not -just- because she took Aug...)

August needs to DO something, and something that is his.
