Meanwhile, Geir and Razeth returned to their own home. Razeth landed safely on the grassy ground, and Geir jumped off her. "Well, I'm off to bed... Sleep well, girl." Geir patted Razeth on the head, and she purred softly in return. He approached his home made of stone and wood. Quite an interesting architectural design in his own opinion. In his home, he reencountered own his father, Ocelot Sanford. Ocelot was quite an understanding and the most serious person in the household. He was quite happy to see Geir arrive back in time before curfew. He noticed something about Geir holding his own arm and with a small smile.<br/><br/>"Geir, what has gotten you so moody?" Ocelot questioned as he kneeled down to his son, "Usually you were content every day, but this time you had a more positive ending. Tell me your story, son."<br/><br/>"Well, there was this girl I met at the training camp," Geir explained, "And like me, she had a dragon. I noticed her instructor berated her despite her effort, but I just could not let that go on... So... for the first time in my life, she and I were friends."<br/><br/>Ocelot was surprised to hear that somebody tolerated Geir by his appearance and his shy nature. He was actually happy to hear such good news, and patted his son's shoulder. "Well son, an instructor like him does not know the meaning of "effort." Tell me, what was your friend's problem?"<br/><br/>"She... well," Geir scratched the back of his head awkwardly, "It's hard to say..."<br/><br/>"Interesting," Ocelot walked towards the window and looked outside, "Son? Do you know what a perfectionist is?" He began to explain to his son what it was as he watched the stars, "It's somebody who acts like a person with no flaws, but does not acknowledge his or her mistakes. Usually there are a few perfectionists who expect better from their pupils. But no matter how hard they try, they don't seem to impress the perfectionist enough, or worse, at all."<br/><br/>Geir didn't realized about that until now. The instructor who berated Juniper from earlier was one of them. He wished he could help her out, but even so, the instructor was a stern type. Perhaps he was worrying too much about Juniper and thought she could improve on her own, seeing that she was more capable than him based on her experiences. His father turned towards his son and gave him advice.<br/><br/>"If you do encounter your instructor who happens to be a perfectionist like him, don't take it too personally," Ocelot explained further, "Learn it from your mistakes and improve. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it will be more likely to grant you more experience than before. Just think of them as... well... notes. Keep them in your mind from now on."
