Aarien, I know you as a blunt little pup. Just spit out what you want. Steps led the old brute into a part of the castle that he distinctly remembered as a young pup. Youth was gone now, and old wisdom had seeped into his bones. Knowing you, it's probably something along the lines of, 'I'm wondering what I should do with Camelot. Can you help me?' Or something else about ruling a kingdom. Am I right? Raumo was always right about Aarien.

--------------------------

How did he know? Telepathy? Psychic powers? Aarien was about to explode out of her mind. "Uncle Raumo. I know that you could tell I was going to turn out bad as soon as I was out of my mother's womb, but then you should also know that I have Camelot's best interest at heart. Can't you just humor me and give me some of your 'wise counseling'?"

--------------------------

Raumo gave a sort of snuff. Dear niece. You expect me to give advice to a youngling, who grew up in the influence of BMs and had to betray her entire family and deny her heritage in order to do so? My how our views are different. But, I shall humor you. Your first order of business, is to ensure that there is a secure line of heirs. Raumo gave Aarien a wink. Better get to work there. Secondly, draw in creatures from all kingdoms. Invite some of those vampires if they agree not to kill and savage people in every which way. They always seem to be the life of the party, even if they are dead. Thirdly, create some order here. I thought I taught you better than this, my girl. At least, I hope Kaano did. By the way, your mother will be visiting sooner or later, so you better get your act together. And finally, don't just sit around on your throne all the day long. Get involved with people. Talk. Interact. Don't sleep in your private quarters. Sleep outside in the nice air. Don't be above your subjects, and don't be equal to them. Be below them and they shall respect you even more. Sighing, the old man shook his untidy mane. Now, if that's all, I shall retire to some quarters. I'm beat.
