Horticulture and Growing Ties

[Pepper]

"I like it." She paused though, and considered the question posed, before scowling at herself. "Odd, I'm not sure about myself. I have used my magic to help me harm another before, the situation was a difficult one, and I'd like to think it was justified... but I made that choice on instinct, so it could be argued that I'm not as in control of my power as I thought." She stood, and took a few steps to the greenhouse door.

"In mundane situations, it's harder to think of an incident, but that could just be a result of myself forgetting that I had power or leverage over another in any given situation. 'The tree remembers but the axe forgets' after all. It's a good question to ask myself, thank you for posing it, Gyges." She offered her hand to shake - the meeting was done unless he had further questions to ask.

Gyges rises, then shakes Pepper's hand. "Of course Provost. Knowing yourself means accepting your flaws and your strengths. If the tally is not to your satisfaction, then you have to work to change yourself until they match what you think you should be." Everyone enjoys thinking that they're good. Few take the time to examine what that really means. You still grow as a person if you refuse to examine yourself, but you only have yourself to blame if what you grow into isn't what you want. "Enjoy the seeds."

[Pepper]

"Thank you. Have a nice day." Pepper releases the Handshake and gives a nod. The seeds he gave her today weren't just radishes, but thought and self examination. She had a feeling they'd be useful soon.
