A book and many things to do

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well, do you have any interest in planning it with my sister?"

[Anastasia]

"Your sister? Does she have any idea of the scale and needs of it," Dolmaya says, a hand on her hip, "Any clue how to organize such a spectacle or the demands of it, from food to manservants to the seating orders for those seated?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"No, but she'll need to learn."

[Anastasia]

"Well..." Dolmaya closes her eyes, "It's still a terrible idea. Have her learn by study and watching. She'll make a dozen botches of it and four dozen more she has no idea she's made until it's too late."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods, "Appoint her your assistant; errands, written orders, and she knows my tastes for food, drink, and colors. She will stumble in this. She needs to. She's been given great opportunities. Study as an apprentice to myself. Extended life. A home in the planes. She's feeling overwhelmed but I'm betting she's also becoming enraptured with dreams of how far she'll go. She can either stumble and slow over something like this, or when she over-reaches in magic. One is significantly less dangerous to her, and those around her, than the other. And you know exactly what I mean. No one gets as powerful as you and I, or lives as long as you have, without seeing the ruins others have made of themselves."

Give me a Diplo check, -10.

With a wave of her hand, "Fine, she can be silent and learn as my assistant.  As long as she's wise enough not to get in the way."

[Iron Dragoon]

"If she's not, that'll be another lesson. Do remember this is a place to learn, in all situations. This can teach her to organize herself, her tasks, and her time. Don't beat her down, but don't coddle her. Teach her, and help her develop."

[Anastasia]

An imperious nod and sweep, Dolmaya turning on her heel and striding off.

Jarem and Bastian share a look at that, Bastian chuckling while Jarem nods a bit. No words are said, while Ianvasah quietly stews, "This book," She rises, "What exactly does it do, Alyssa?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"It may give clues to developing into that something else our patron mentioned. But it's something that may or may not take, depending on the person, I suspect."

[Anastasia]

"I'll read it with you," Ianvasah says, "I'm curious as to what it is."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods and motions for her to pull a seat up.

[Anastasia]

Going to study the book now?

[Iron Dragoon]

Yup
