			* HEIR TO THE THRONE TAKES THE TENANTS' LASH: The article was spare, an encapsulation of the Attendant’s confession of fealty, his agreement to his sentence, and his bearing the whip. The only direct quote in it was Sediryl’s, about draevilth making it meet that she share the punishment. There was little slant in it, as if the report writers had been so shocked they hadn’t known what to think of the matter, and had been capable solely of recording it.<ref name=":1">''[[Dragons' Fealty (Fiction)\|Dragons' Fealty]]'', Chapter 14</ref>

			====Bethsaida: the Attendant====
			…when I heard the story of this hapless child, I was aghast… for some had apparently declared her so hopeless they wished to remand her to the aliens for medical treatment. As if her gentle nature needed repair! To be sure, she lacks the full command of her intellect, but in what way does that impair her? Indeed, she is happier in her ignorance than many of us are in our awareness. It wrung my heart to think that anyone would consider one of our people defective, and useless only if she could be ‘fixed’ to some mortal standard.

			What right do foreigners have to decide we aren’t enough? Isn’t that our decision?

			Needless to say, I was only too grateful to accept the child’s service and save her from that fate. And I am gratified to report to you that she is all that is sweetness. I have never had such a faithful attendant, nor so gentle a maid.<ref name="fc-20" />

			...when I spoke to him, I was filled with understanding. He’s seen so much, and there is so much wisdom he had to share! True things, that work for us because they always have. I know the way seems hard and long when we choose to walk it—the authentic path, the one that defines us as people—but it’s worth the effort. Other ways might seem seductive, easy, might even seem to give us the answers we crave. But they wouldn’t work for us. Not in the long-term. One cannot transplant the ideas of one culture into another without also importing their beliefs. And our beliefs define us. They are what make us strong.

			The truth is that our answers are in us. The flush I felt at understanding this! The relief! We have the power to solve all our own problems. All we lack is the confidence to do so.

			This is what I learned on that sunny afternoon, speaking with the wisest man in the village of Tora. I am grateful.<ref name="fc-04">''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction) \| Farmer's Crown]],'' Chapter 4</ref>
