Leucius says, "Feel free to join me Bel."
You say, "Thank you."
Leucius says, "Of course."
Leucius says, "Good day all."
Leucius says, "No burning down the manor."
You say, "Nae."
Leucius says, "It seems like it's been a while."
You say, "Aye."
You say, "Ilithi has been relatively....still."
Leucius says, "It has indeed."
Leucius asks, "What can I do for you today?"
You say, "I just wanted to let you know, that I am tendering my resignation in the Militia."
Leucius asks, "Oh really?"
You say, "I find myself unable to maintain membership while working under those whom I do not trust."
You say, "I will continue to serve the Ferdahl in my way."
Leucius asks, "Who do you not trust?"
You say, "Albeit in a more roundabout way."
You say, "I have not always been the model of perfect grace."
You say, "But I find the actions of some to be so distasteful that I care not to have myself associated with them."
Leucius says, "I'm slightly confused."
You say, "Ilithi is my home, and I love it here.  So this decision has been difficult."
You ask, "Is he needing to find a bush?"
Leucius asks, "Who and what are we actually speaking of?"
You say, "I do not wish to cause anyone to be angry."
You say, "Fret."
Leucius asks, "As in me?"
Leucius says, "I don't really do angry that well I'm told."
You say, "I cannot say that the actions of the future commander of all the militia has made me proud to be Ilithian."
You say, "Also."
Leucius says, "Oh."
Leucius says, "You doubt Traim."
You say, "His spouse seems to garner a certain amount of control over the actions of the militia."
You say, "I doubt he and his wife."
Leucius says, "I see."
Leucius asks, "Why?"
You say, "I can understand the anger over the Outcasts.  I can understand how one would want to act."
You say, "But there were instances that were clearly in poor taste."
You say, "And reflected badly against our province."
You say, "And everyone who lived here."
Leucius asks, "Oh?"
Leucius asks, "Like which?"
You say, "In my opinion, and this is just mine."
Leucius says, "Thats fine."
You say, "If you represent a province, then you should act accordingly."
Leucius says, "I'm just looking for details is all."
You say, "I have heard whispers of actions taken while visiting various provinces in Elanthia."
You say, "Specifically Therengia."
You say, "It is one thing to defend a spouse, but another to go on rampages."
Leucius says, "He's not popular up there."
You say, "And the fact that Ruea took it upon herself to announce events that were not of her husband's unit put a sour taste in my mouth."
You say, "Yes, Traim is militia."
Leucius asks, "Which events?"
You say, "Ruea is not."
You say, "Lotus Battalion spars, jousts."
You say, "She would be giving directions and such as if she were in charge."
Leucius asks, "So, she should not talk about events?"
You say, "No, but she should not act in a manner that she would convey that she was in charge of it."
You say, "It is one thing to announce it."
Leucius says, "Ah I see."
You say, "Another to say and do things contrary to the people who really were."
You say, "Those hosting and running them."
Leucius asks, "Who really were?"
Leucius says, "Oh right."
Leucius asks, "Taleek you mean?"
You say, "Or Rainea."
You say, "Or Katt."
You say, "Ruea does a splendid job with her office."
You say, "There is no denying that."
You say, "But it seems that since Traim has come into command, that she has wedged herself into a sort of."
You say, "Ultimate hostess for all militia.   But now there will be only one, I cannot help but be suspicious of the outcome with her whispering in Traim's ear."
Leucius asks, "What would be a bad outcome?"
You say, "The reputation of the Militia in Ilithi."
You say, "The fact that due to various dramas surrounding both that we are seen as weak and fools."
Leucius asks, "By whom?"
You say, "It could be anyone, but mostly those who do not reside in Shard."
You say, "Those who do reside here."
You say, "Have noticed a shift."
You say, "And are frankly awaiting the dust to settle."
[5:56:38 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "I suppose it's a persepective thing."
You say, "I felt I had to tell you.  I will fight for Ilithi, sir.  If there is need of me, feel free to call."
[5:57:54 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius asks, "Have you chatted with Taleek about such?"
You say, "I have."
You say, "He wished me to speak to you as well."
Leucius says, "Got it."
[5:59:15 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "Alrighty, well lets go with my thoughts."
Leucius asks, "Do you care if I'm overly nice or not?"
Leucius says, "I can do either, one is easier than the other."
You say, "Speak freely.  I am not offended."
Leucius says, "Oh good, I prefer easy."
[6:00:19 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "And bear in mind I still don't do angry well."
Leucius says, "I have been passed the chatter about folks doubting Traim."
Leucius says, "In my mind that is sort of normal."
Leucius says, "In my years herew working for Ilithi there has always been scuttlebut about this Commander or that."
Leucius says, "Some deserved, some not."
[6:03:04 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "My personal bottm line tends to be.."
Leucius says, "The Tower appoints them, it's my job to work with them."
You say, "As is your duty in your position."
Leucius says, "I do not doubt them in that doubting them is to doubt the Tower itself."
Leucius says, "And I'm not one to do that."
Leucius says, "Well publically certainly."
Leucius says, "As far as his actions go."
Leucius says, "We are aware of them, and he gets addressed on them when the need is seen."
Leucius says, "However, Theren  being Theren..."
Leucius says, "We are not overtly caring on how that might go at times."
Leucius says, "What I have seen is he emits a mixed reaction."
Leucius says, "The Baron and his croinies can't stand him."
Leucius says, "Madigan and Marsais shake his hand."
[6:03:19 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "So it's a split of sorts."
Leucius says, "Which is very Therengian."
[6:04:19 PM] Steve (Grid): heh
[6:06:08 PM] Jennifer Quest: You say, "Quite."
Leucius says, "I did review the stuff about his fighting with.."
Leucius says, "Erm that Cleric fellow."
Leucius says, "I was told that Cleric fellow is a mouth breathing idiot."
You ask, "I try not to remember their names, but this one...Evro?"
You say, "He's memorable for all the wrong reasons."
Leucius says, "And that he was going on about all ilithians beloiging on thier knees."
Leucius says, "No, Phaylasomething."
You say, "Ahhh."
You say, "Him."
You ask, "Valkri's cohort?"
Leucius says, "The fellow who forced Ruea to kneel."
Leucius says, "Yes, that one."
Leucius says, "I have to say.."
Leucius says, "If Sonjaa came back from a province and told me that she was called hore and made kneel for folks. It'd not be a pretty picture."
Leucius says, "And I think me quite calm."
[6:08:10 PM] Jennifer Quest: You say, "Defending a spouse is understood."
You say, "Further actions and comments."
Leucius says, "So knowing that he went off and killed the fellow, once or thrice."
Leucius says, "Yes."
Leucius says, "Well it is adversarial."
Leucius says, "I think.."
Leucius says, "Well in my mind it's a bit of a losing proposition."
Leucius says, "As long as he goes up there they will target him some."
[6:09:09 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "Past that."
You say, "Similar to poking a sleeping arzumos."
Leucius says, "Yes."
[6:09:20 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "He needs come back and explain each time."
[6:09:47 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "Which leads to these godawful long chats."
You say, "I thought you enjoyed speaking with us."
[6:10:08 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "It's mixxed."
[6:10:26 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "The bottom line on that though is he is the Towers choice."
[6:12:05 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "The bottom line on that though is he is the Towers choice."
Leucius says, "And until they decide he is no longer, it's thier call."
Leucius says, "Now."
Leucius says, "With Ruea."
Leucius says, "I can see where she might overstep percieved bounds."
Leucius says, "Part of that is likely my fault, I give her a ton of leeway."
Leucius says, "And I ask her to do things beyond her station."
Leucius says, "I've done that in the past because we needed someone to cover things that were not getting properly covered."
[6:12:09 PM] Jennifer Quest: oops, copied one twice...sorry
[6:13:13 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "She and I have talked about reeling that in a lil."
Leucius says, "It's my stance that she's now a lil too out there."
Leucius says, "At least publically."
You say, "I think he needs to go."
You say, "The dog."
Leucius says, "Oh, he's like that."
You say, "Ahhh."
Leucius says, "There we go."
[6:13:51 PM] Jennifer Quest: You say, "I just didn't want anything to become...soiled."
Leucius says, "My thought with Ruea is she brings so much to the table that we basically have never gotten before that I let things go."
[6:13:57 PM] Jennifer Quest: (talking about his dog in his house)
[6:15:21 PM] Steve (Grid): nod
[6:15:28 PM] Jennifer Quest: You say, "She is certainly tallented and creative."
You say, "That she does not lack."
Leucius says, "And she gets what I'm looking for."
Leucius says, "Thats where issues have arisen in the past."
[6:16:38 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "While Rainea did do her very best to operate in command, there were comunication issues."
Leucius says, "And that lead to things that should have been happening, to not happen."
You say, "Understandable."
Leucius says, "And messages that were supposed to be going about, not going about."
Leucius says, "All things I tend to not talk about publically."
[6:17:29 PM] Jennifer Quest: You say, "Again, understandable."
Leucius says, "Ruea and Traim are in the positions they are in because we have seen direct tangibal results from them."
Leucius says, "We have not seen the same from others."
Leucius says, "So while it's not perfect.."
[6:18:00 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius asks, "I personally have to lean towards the..doers?"
Leucius asks, "Does that make sense?"
You say, "I understand."
[6:18:12 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "Now, where I specifically had issues.."
[6:19:04 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "I hear some of each side."
Leucius says, "But mostly just some. For whatever reason some folks choose to not chat with me about issues."
Leucius says, "I guess I'm scary."
Leucius says, "I didn't know I was."
[6:20:03 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "What I like about this is at least you are here to say something."
Leucius says, "I like something."
Leucius says, "Regardless of what it is."
[6:20:12 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "So..I was thinking."
[6:20:18 PM] Jennifer Quest: oy, I hear something coming here....
[6:20:28 PM] Steve (Grid): yep
[6:20:36 PM] Jennifer Quest: oh god
[6:20:54 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "And bear in mind I've been thinking on this for.."
Leucius asks, "Months?"
You say, "Time is slow for me, I am Elven."
Leucius says, "I have a short list of people that I felt were under utilised."
[6:21:42 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "My personal feeling was that Rainea could have used you more."
Leucius says, "And it was something I kicked about."
You say, "I was promoted.  Others had been there longer."
[6:21:49 PM] Jennifer Quest: sometimes I almost make myself gag
[6:21:52 PM] Jennifer Quest: LOL
[6:22:05 PM] Steve (Grid): heh
[6:22:31 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "I do not mean a shinier badge."
You say, "Ahh."
Leucius says, "I mean taking advantage of a resource."
[6:22:40 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "It's something that I didn;t feel the lotus were doing that well."
[6:23:01 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "They gave out badges, but I didn't see where they gave out anything tangible to actually do."
[6:23:28 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "As in a role, beyond saluting."
Leucius asks, "Does that make sense?"
You say, "Yes."
You say, "Jobs are nice."
[6:23:59 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "My feeling was that since none were doled out. folks just sat about waiting for things to happen."
Leucius says, "And nothing hapened, so there was much sitting."
[6:26:13 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "I did my best to not interfere. I felt that I shouldn't sdwoop in and over ride folks."
Leucius says, "Even though it's technically my job."
Leucius says, "Swooping hurts feelings."
Leucius says, "I tend to like to try and puzzle things out insteas."
You say, "And reminds others you are a bird."
Leucius says, "Well instead."
Leucius says, "Right."
Leucius says, "In my mind.."
Leucius says, "You have a set opinion and I see where you would have that opinion."
[6:26:36 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius asks, "But perhaps you havn't been given the best seat in the house to gather that opinion?"
Leucius says, "Through no fault of your own mind you."
You say, "I can see your point."
[6:27:18 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "To be perfectly frank."
Leucius says, "This..restructuring deal has taken more time than I expected."
[6:27:56 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "But these things always do, if one rushes into it."
Leucius says, "Well we get to suffer through the decisions."
[6:28:19 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "But just so you know where I view you.."
[6:29:42 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "I tossed you on my very short list of possible Commanders moving forward."
You ask, "Me?"
Leucius says, "Yes."
You say, "I am flattered."
You say, "But I know little of battle or tactics."
You say, "I am young."
You say, "Many are more than twice my skill."
Leucius says, "Yes, but remember I like people that do things."
[6:30:07 PM] Steve (Grid): interesting
[6:30:29 PM] Jennifer Quest: totally not what I was thinking
[6:30:32 PM] Jennifer Quest: and VERY scary
[6:31:29 PM] Jennifer Quest: You ask, "How would it appear if a commander was slain in the first blow?"
You say, "It would be an embarassment."
Leucius says, "Someone will always find a reason to put down a command pick."
Leucius says, "I've been doing this for gods know how long and people can find all sorts of things to pick at me about."
Leucius says, "To me thats just how it is."
[6:32:05 PM] Jennifer Quest: You say, "You honor me with your words."
Leucius says, "You gather up the bootstraps and do your best in the face of whatever."
Leucius says, "Simple truthes."
Leucius says, "You and I do not chat a ton, but it's always easy."
[6:33:15 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "I do not find everyone "easy."
You say, "I try to speak plainly without motives and state what I see and how I feel."
Leucius says, "Some folks have the stances you do but for the life of anything will never say a word."
Leucius says, "And that gives me, nothing."
You say, "I couldn't leave and say nothing."
You say, "I love Ilithi."
[6:35:38 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "Good."
Leucius says, "I wondered how your view changed as things progressed."
You say, "I will be around if I am needed.  I have much training to impress Melear."
Leucius says, "MM hmm."
You say, "The rest of the world are fools for not living here, with the exception of those who are pains."
You say, "They can stay away."
Leucius says, "I'm not nearly done with you here."
Leucius says, "So.."
You say, "Ah."
Leucius says, "Regarding Ruea."
Leucius asks, "Would you find her hard to work with if asked?"
[6:37:35 PM] Jennifer Quest: You say, "Sometimes, yes, but I would if asked."
You say, "But I would need a good stiff drink."
You say, "Sometimes I am too serious...tis my nature."
Leucius says, "Yes, but again perspectives."
You say, "Aye."
Leucius says, "My thinking is you might need a new view to share."
You say, "Perhaps."
Leucius says, "As things go right now. Traim is who I turn to for militia deals and Ruea is who I turn to for social dealings."
[6:38:24 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "I would like to expand that some, but the Tower needs the pyramid in shape."
You say, "That is understandable."
You say, "Too many chiefs and not enough indians."
Leucius says, "Yes."
[6:40:21 PM] Jennifer Quest: said something about how he wasn't an indian...I said I was a wind elf...similar but different
[6:40:23 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "As long as you are not of the Mountain."
Leucius says, "Too much politics there."
Leucius says, "There."
You say, "Nae, they are distant cousins."
Leucius says, "All caught up."
[6:42:47 PM] Jennifer Quest: Leucius says, "So,."
Leucius says, "You jump started this chat, I was still organising my thoughts."
You say, "Feel free to organize them further."
You say, "I am around, sir."
Leucius says, "For now, I'd prefer you not step down."
You say, "I have only been waiting to see you around."
Leucius says, "The tower looks at quiting rather harsh."
You say, "Yes."
Leucius says, "They tend to view it as questioning them."
You ask, "Is it permissible to step into the shadows for a while?"
Leucius says, "I'd rather not toss that on your record without kicking thius about some."
You say, "I do not wish to upset Her."
Leucius says, "Oh she'd not be upset, just dismissive."
Leucius says, "And since I view you as an asset.."
Leucius asks, "Well lets keep that light nice and shiney for now?"
[6:42:50 PM] Jennifer Quest: is that a trap?
[6:47:47 PM] Steve (Grid): it can be
[6:54:02 PM] Jennifer Quest: ugh
[6:54:41 PM] Jennifer Quest: You say, "Agreed."
You say, "I will wait, but in the shadows."
You say, "I have much training to do."
Leucius says, "I have something specific in mind for you."
You say, "I am honored, sir."
Leucius says, "But it will require you to be a militia member."
Leucius says, "I think, you can handle it."
Leucius says, "But you will have to work with the two you mentioned."
You say, "I will watch them and see."
You say, "That is all I can do."
Leucius says, "However there is a grand helping of me invlved too."
Leucius says, "Which I'm guessing will help."
You say, "It will."
You say, "Just keep some brandy handy."
Leucius says, "Oh I do."
Leucius says, "That is not for me you know."
You say, "Medicinal."
Leucius asks, "So, give me like..a month?"
You say, "O.k."
Leucius asks, "To get things straight?"
You say, "I will."
Leucius says, "Good."
Leucius says, "Go make big ole messes then."
Leucius says, "And feel free to chat anytime."
You say, "Be well, sir."
Leucius says, "Good day."
[6:54:47 PM] Jennifer Quest: so, I'll be in..but hidden
