"You're going to make a good storm if you want to when the time comes" he observes "Olgar is a bit of the same mind set. But I'm Mountain now, and... this is a center for troll spirituality , history, and lore. HIDING that seems..to betray that ? I never asked to be a teacher really. Loved writing. Yet now I teach in both the Autumn World as here. Sometimes better than others" he admits "I don't think we can be so focused on security that we hoard our culture. We've got a new more social chief, so I think reach out is naturally gonna happen. I do want to make sure we have enough manpower to handle it but more than that, I want everyone to be free if they need to go too. Brekke and Frank's departure sent a shockwave through out the Barony. They gave us time to adjust, and STILL it whammed us hard. You think I don't see Siv moving out of here even more than before? She's not even sure this is home anymore. Sylvi can be a stranger here some weeks as she cares for Goldfinch. Yet if I called for help, they'd rush in. If I told Siv "I'm stepping down as Mountain" her sense of duty would give me a good chance of trapping her. Then, there's you. I want you to be Storm when it is time because you WANT it, not because you feel just obligation. We need more blood because we need more freedom for trolls to hold this place when they want to, not because we're on a skeleton crew. I think Rowan is a chance to free Siv up for Mountain Pillar tasks if it works out. It may not. " He takes a long sip of his own drink, getting a bit cooler than he likes.
