A little something to take Kass’ mind off Beizel’s flirting.
LeVar Burton would be a GOD to Pekkit.
As well he should be to everyone!
But, you don’t have to take my word for it…
But what if it were a loud god?
At the beach where many had gathered in the summer sun I sat in relaxed countenance when I heard in a blast like the crashing of a great wave the voice of the Engineer.
And I looked and saw before me in the sky a butterfly and He said, “THOU SHALT HENCEFORTH FLY TWICE AS HIGH!”
And the great Engineer cast down a piece of the Firmament before me and said,
“THOU SHALT TAKEST A LOOK!”
And lo, it was a Book. And the in the Book was contained the Rainbow for Reading, a covenant in physical form inscribed on the page.
“THOU MAYEST GO ANYWHERE!”
I just read this and it’s amazing.
That’s on-model for Kassen, like when he encouraged Lopin’s business sense early in the comic.
… and paid the price for it, in a literal and figurative sense.
And so Kass evens up the score. (: It helps that the advice being given is true.
An asset, and perhaps something more – future Matriarch material? Their position and growth will demand increasing integration over time, and it would help greatly to have someone already learned in Ivenmoth’s ways.
It sounded a while back like Viz has hopes for Lippie but first she needs some strong anti-anxiety meds, so so so jumpy.
If things don’t work out with Lippie. and depending on how things work out in the end. Kass has the mindset to be an extremely good Matriarch even if he doesn’t think so right now. Though that does HEAVILY mean alot of things happening in the future. But his encouragement to others developing to being their best is an asset. There is still far too much uncertainty about the future at this point but.. its good to see that even when life is dumping on him. he still shows the good that he has for the world around him.
Vizlet might have plans to have Kass as a backup in case things don’t go as planned.
aw, that was sweet.
Kass the Diplomat.
A title that seems more appropriate every day.
