In my head, mother is always talking to me, even if I don't 'hear' her, I hear

Mother actually hasn’t spoken for a while; maybe she is taking a long nap.

"No trick to it, Lady. The circumstances dictate when decisions must be made,
and when dithering can be engaged in. When we act, it is because circumstances
demand action. And when circumstances demand action, the best action available
at the time is what we choose." Sean smirks. "Except for those times when it

Elmore still thinks that having it around is playing with fire in a long term
thinking. Just a matter of time before they or another eager would be
apprentice. Don’t know that it doesn’t actively call to those who might crave
knowledge and power.

As I recall, we have to recheck the library for special books,
and that tapestry is magical. Which Sean is probably dangerously curious about.
