[ And Eithan finally sits back, takes his hand away, sure that he's not gonna bleed out. It's just up to time, at this point. ]
... Yeah. That is bullshit. Is there anyone on your side who knows otherwise? Knows the truth? Even if it's just like a slow start, it's still somethin'.
There is my adoptive father who is a magister himself. He thinks I should find a different way; he's been involved in the council for a very long time and he says I am not suited for politics. 'You are meant for greater things,' he said.
[He runs a hand through his hair, not that it makes it any messier. That's impossible.]

Elves do not become of age until twenty. I know this, and so... I cannot act surprised.
[He gets to his feet carefully, trying not to step on his robes and rip them. When he's standing, he only wobbles a little bit. So that's good.]
In the meantime, I have new family I am getting to know. So I cannot say I am wasting time, exactly.
