Morning Jog (An On Going In Between)

She nodded in gratitude over the bit of information that he allowed her to have. "You are guarded with your information" she pointed out. "I can understand that. We all have our own secrets and demons we much live with" she added as she leaped over another log like a professional hurdler. Her breath labored as she spoke. "It was the one thing that was throwing me off about guessing which order you came from. My knowledge of the Orders is not vast. But what I do know, Awakened society has always had its share of rebels and strange geniuses, mages who could never accept the easy answers of Atlantean tradition. The Silver Ladder cast them out, the Adamantine Arrow refused to protect them and the Mysterium expunged their words from history. In you I see this very sense of rebellious nature. Don't get me wrong, change is a very good thing. Even when that change is wrong. We learn from our mistakes and grow from them. This is what makes our sub-Order different from the rest of the Silver Ladders."

She kept her focus on her footing once more to ensure that she didn't slip or break an ankle. "This is why i suspected you as Free Council. But your guarded nature was throwing me off. As for your brother, I am almost sure he too is Free Council." She slowed down a bit to get over a large rock out cropping, "We are a Cabal. This I do not dispute. We are going to have to learn to work together. And that means, accepting each other for who we are." On that she came to a stop and turned to face him. "This is why I am trying to get along better with you two" she said in labored breath. "I want us to be able to work together. I believe it is in our differences is where our strengths are to be found. Do you agree?"
