She looked at him, her smile turned down. "The only way you've let her down is by failing to realize the things she is good at. Then again, you haven't realized them about yourself. I've only known you one day, but I can see you are struggling against a lifetime of preconceived notions to do what's right. For your sister and your country. You are kind and as long as people don't push you, you don't push back. At the same time..."It seemed it was her night for giving advice.<br/><br/>"You have to open up, both yourself and your country. Or the world is going to pass you by. You can't let one war mark your country forever. Loidi is doing very well, and could do your country even more damage if they were so inclined. I'm not always comfortable with magic, but I understand the necessity of it in coexistence. It's not just going to go away. The best thing you can do is prepare your country and the future of the country for its existence. Perhaps even more moderate Ritter Hex. Just tonight, if the Loidites were inclined, the Ritter Hex's behavior could have prompted another war. Over a child's game." She didn't want to reprimand him, but it was a fact, the Ritter Hex had insulted a prince of the blood of a country that had previously been at war with this one. It could not possibly be sitting well with the Loidites.
