Sul-Matuul
Zergonipal

Sul-Matuul stared at Serene critically.  "There is no reason for Kaushad to tell Sedrane anything, really.  Sedrane is a strong leader, and he didn't become one by knowing... anything about himself.  Despite what you may think, Kaushad is not actually his father.  Sedrane's fathers were the ones that raised him to be tough and strong-willed.  He became the man he is today thanks to his elders raising him, including you Serene.  I don't know why Kaushad won't tell him of his blood-lines, but I accept he has a reason."

Sul-Matuul understood Kaushad was facing a lot criticism lately, trying to lead people that were not his own since most of Zainab were in the Grazelands fighting.  It made Sul-Matuul question what he heard others speak of Kaushad.  "And do not think Kaushad would ever pick on Sedrane.  I've seen him handle Sedrane before.  He... well he sort of fathers him, tries to guide him to the right way.  He probably does so unreasonably, as is his way.  But remember Serene, speaking badly about someone behind their back will not change them.  If you want Kaushad to be more open-minded to your ideas you must open your mind and listen to his."

"I....shall listen to Kaushad you say?" Serene looked steadily at Sul-Matuul, "Well I usually do, but it seems as nobody listens to me, despite I´ve been living among Ahemmusa the major part of my life....despite I´ve been around Sedrane and Sinnamu ever since Kaushad left in a hurry when he found out Sinnamu was pregnant with his child....Now isn´t it about time he took responsibility of his actions?

I will tell you another thing.....I am a foundling..I was found as a week old baby on the front porch of my parents residence....back in Cyrodiil.....and I was pretty old before I found out who my father is.....my mother is still unknown to me...so I know how frustrating it is not knowing!....Of course those elders who brought up Sedrane are his fathers..in heart, but he still wants to know his origins and I think he should....

Besides..I´m really not speaking bad about Kaushad..I know him far too well for doing that, I love and respect him deeply, he knows that, but tat also make me speak very freely to him..and that he sometimes doesn´t like"

Serene sighed...and sat down on the floor leaning back against the damp wall

"The main thing is that we stick together....that we fight for our people.....and you know I have the greatest respect for all of you ashkans"

Sul-Matuul

Sul-Matuul drew a long, wise smile and paused, staring at Serene for thirty-seconds. In his head, he ran through what she said several times, attempting to deeply comprehend every word, as though treating her words with utmost understanding and respect, like his teacher.

"Serene," he said quietly, making her attempt to listen, a tool he used to only speak to the willing. "If you truly wish to meddle in the affair you will have greatly disappointed me. I feel as though, Serene, your abilities allow you to see into people's minds, but not their hearts."

Serene listened to Sul-Matuul......looking steadily at him.....but not understanding what he really was trying to say.....she thought that there maybe was something deeper behind the stubborn opposion to the thing about telling Sedrane who his father was..but at the moment she just could not get it. Nevertheless she understood that both of them, Kaushad and Sul-Matuul would stick together....and they´d be very angry if she told him about it.....so she wouldn´t.....for the time being that is..

Also she was hurt by Sul-Matuul saying that she could not read peoples hearts....because that was exactly what she could...if they open their hearts that is...and neither of those two did! Sedrane on the other hand.....

"Oh well" she sighed, " You know exactly how to put your words so they give the most effect huh?..But don´t worry, I´m not gonna tell anything to anyone anymore..may that be! I´ll go back to Ald´ruhn, with my family and forget all about this ...and let you do your own fighting, because it makes my heart bleed the way you treat Sedrane."

Sul-Matuul listened patiently to Serene and again waited for her to finish. He smiled, he wanted her to understand so much, but wisdom of age and repesct taught him that it was not the way it worked. All he could do, was stand there and practice by example, and that meant pausing, listening, comprehending.

"In your civilization," he said. "People talk. They talk more than they listen. Can you count how many life-forms live on Nirn? Each has a voice. That's a lot of talking if every form of life adhered to your civilizations way of talking, a lot of useless noise. There are nearly five hundred ashlanders I talk to. That alone means I should be listening five hundred times more often than talking. That alone does not cover it, i listen to the guar, to the crops I grow, to the wind and the water. When elders talk to each other, we wait after each one speaks. We wait sometimes for hours, and when it is time to speak again, we feel it.

"I grant you the respect of an elder because in your time spent with us you earned the respect, both you and Jonacin. Please though, next time we talk, do not forsake my advice."

Serene

Serene listened carefully....this old man was the wisest of them all, she knew that very well, after all she used to live amongst these people for years, and Sinnamu taught her to listen ..a thing that she nowadays sometimes seems to have forgot.

"It´s called communication" Serene said slowly, "and we think very high of the importance of communication. The world we live in is in constant change, we must change with it, we can´t always dwell in the past. We also must talk to each others n order to understand..otherwise we will perish...."

"I have the deepest respect for you Sul-Matuul, but you have to admit that I have done quite a lot of good for the ahslander tribes here. I have used my skills to keep you alive..and I´ve done it out of my heart, out of love to the people..The Ahemmusa adopted me when I was an outcast, I love them more than you will ever understand....Sedrane is like a brother to me, Sinnamu like a mother...and you?..well you are the teacher.....so I hope not that you are deliberately hurting me, I always thought you cared for me, but that could have changed, I don´t know"

Serene bowed her head..not knowing what to do...naturally she wanted to stay here with her people..to help them in this hard time and give them all support she could. But the feeling that both the greater ashkans probably were against her tormented her more than she would have imagined
