A glance to Chambers, “Maybe it’s because he is dead set on it being a member of the Mysterium.” She says bluntly, “Not that I don’t think you’re capable, I just wouldn’t throw my vote behind you as I barely know you and what you can do.” Facts were facts.
Nodding, “Exactly. But I think we should also take into consideration that it’s been done like that for years, and not just in Sacramento. When you boil down what it is, it is simply giving someone the acknowledgement to prove themselves to the Circle as a whole. Even with one central figure, some will get through the cracks and prove to be a mistake. I’m just saying that there are pros and cons to each. There really isn’t any true power behind a Councilor to the Circle as a whole, just within their own Path.” But it seemed like they were determined they needed a central figure.
“While you may be hesitant, if it does indeed connect to the building as a whole, you may find yourself with an other Order upset we were beneath their wing without a heads up. I think you both are a bit too wary of the others and their Orders. A heads up would simply be a formality, one done to not cause any strife. Wouldn’t you want to know there was someone poking around under the Mysterium wing?” why did she feel like the only one who saw the other Awakened and Orders as people and not enemies?
Now what Corn says get an eyebrow raise. “So despite what you previously said about him, now you’re singing his praise?” did she miss something? “We are also getting ahead of ourselves, we don’t even know if Winter would want the position, and with the push-back to have Path Councilors handle Acknowledgments, I doubt anyone would agree to it.” Most of them seemed against Path Councilors, yet these two think we need a Hierarch, cart before horse.
“If Chambers doesn’t think he could hold a challenge to the position, then what makes you believe he has the power to back a bid for it. While Hierarch is about more then just power, it’s a big part of it. And you’ve been trying to find reasons to promote for far too long.” It was annoying to say the least. “Again, I do not think you will find support for a Hierarch at this point in time. Everyone seems content to flounder around and cannot figure out the most basic of things. Bring it up in the meeting, but it’s going to get shot down.” She knew it, and if they were honest with themselves, they knew it. "Maybe instead of a Hierarch, we focus on either Councilors to Acknowledge, or someone to handle it if the Path is not represented. Seeking Hierarch before those basics seems pointless."
Sighing, "And didn't we gather to talk Order business?"
