Uenno asked if I needed a ride to wherever I was headed, and I agreed to go with her. I don't usually do spontaneous these days, but...I don't have anywhere better to be, do I? We stopped in Garenhoff first so she could meet with an old friend. I sat at the pier and watched the Wizard's Tower while I waited. What a marvel... Heh, I wonder what the gimmick is.
When Uenno finished lunch, we sat there for a while and talked.
She used to be a professor in the colleges, but she left after years and years of frustration with the system. Students set up for failure, refusal to grow or expand (sound familiar...?). She's lived along the outskirts of Divinity's Reach for some time, teaching statics to the locals. Anything to get technology in more hands. Humans are terrible at math.
I like her. She doesn't remind me of Rata Sum. While there's plenty to miss, it...it just wasn't the same after Maguuma. I'm not the same after Maguuma.
