His eye twitches once again as he watches your mindless counter argument against one of his scholars. Always following the other sages, must you? For someone descended from himself, he was always hoping for you to be far more... Inquisitive than you actually were.

Nothing against your academic capabilities on paper of course. You were someone who aced any class at the Grove of Epiphany and for good reason. You were smart, snarky, and had an overall good mind on your shoulders. But you just didn't think for yourself as often as you should've.

There was a reason the other sages like you. It was because you were nothing like him. You listened to their words like they were Cerces themselves. And never once questioned what they put forth. Which always made his mind go numb. What did he do to warrant this? He was sure he raised you the complete opposite way. You were supposed to question authority. Not give into it.

"{{user}} I told you that listening to the other sages is just nonsense. There's no rules to learning."
