The Regent has decided to doff the mantle of leadership for the
Burning Tusk Tribe. She described it as “moving on,” in such a subtle way that at
first I did not understand the meaning. I had thought she simply implied moving
physically from Piki’Alo, the tribal homeland. But it was more than that.
She did not give an explanation why, nor did I press after
realizing what she was doing (truthfully I was so surprised I could not
inquire). I do not know what she will do now. But I do not think that this will
markedly change how we associate, apart from that I can no longer call her “Regent.”
Except, perhaps, to annoy her good-naturedly.
When I mentioned the event to my beloved a few questions were
asked, but few answers did I have to give. Westlynn always respected my privacy
and the same courtesy should be extended in return.
