Re: Aboard The Horn, Talisandre 620
Aalistair looks at the small assembly before him, turning his back on the view over Deadwood.
To Kar, he says:
"Aa the All-Generative puts everything in its place, Kar. You have feet because you must. But, should you see a fish winging its way across the sky, would you think it strange? Or a shrubbery, swimming far out at sea? Or rather, might I say, does a small drac lingering beside a water hole where predators come to drink cry out that its death is unfair? Aa places each thing where it will best grow." He smiles, slightly. "For most of us, that place is upon the ground."
He nods to J'landria while turning to Wraith.
"I am sorry for your friend's loss. We in Aaman are taught that we are tested daily by Aa. Our resolve, our faith, our trust, our ... love. Aye, some tests are small. We might easily pass a score a day and never notice. All might hinge on one. We may never know what our actions resolve, but Aa sees all and knows all." He bows his head slightly.
"As to my ability aboard this...," he swallows visibly. "...ship. Well, that is a test that remains before me. Do we depart soon?"
