"Well, it isn't so much that we didn't learn farming. More like... our parents don't really want us on the farm. Uh. Anymore." They cleared their throat. "Freina didn't have any need of air magic before and... well, we're just on our own now." And then they added, squaring their shoulders and lifting their chin, "And we're doing very well on our own, I think. Besides, our younger brother can inherit the farm now, and there won't be any squabbling." Not that Kedran would ever have argued with Freina about it (and they certainly hadn't an interest in it). But they knew that some families fell all to pieces when the kids fought over the inheritance, and they thought it'd show Captain Morgan that it was good that they weren't all farmers.

They merely shrugged at the captain's opinion that they shouldn't hero-worship the provost. "I know, I know. You're not the first one to say so. But everyone has flaws and everyone has regrets. It doesn't mean he's not a good man - a great man! And the more I get to know him, the more I know becoming a Loreseeker is not only what I want to do with my life, it's a great and noble thing to do!" They beamed proudly.

"I know you might not think so. And that's okay. But I know, deep down in the very core of my being, that this is what I want to do with my life. You must know that feeling, too, right? That feeling that says 'I'm exactly where I need to be'?"
