"A researcher studies a subject for endeavors that are either academic or scientific. I don't think they care much about the subject, even though they are passionate about it. I'd say, they are passionate for a grade, a positive critique, or maybe their name on a scientific paper, but in the end, did they really care about what they were studying?"<br/><br/>She pushed off from the table and turned to peruse the crystals on the shelves, fondling them lightly. "I will say I'm much more than a researcher. I'm a believer, plain as that," Dr. Douglass mentioned and slowly rounded the table to the side where Alyssa was standing. She was right next to her when she bent over the pachment. "Truth be told, Alyssa, this piece of paper is meant to distinguish the tourist from the pilgrim, the stranger from the familiar, the skeptic from the believer. Believe what you will, but I choose to believe that I am someone who truly guides those that seek more than a sensational transcendence."<br/><br/>She walked over to the doorway and before she went through, turned around and asked, "Say, I can show you what these caves are, if you'll humor me."<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>Hunters permitted to reply to this post:</em>Alyssa Strum
