[Will had been thinking again.  He hadn't had much else to do, these last few weeks.]

I've been wondering something recently. What do Dark and Light mean to you? It seems like every person I've met has a different idea of what they mean.

[He pauses.]

Also, is there anything anyone needs any help with?  I haven't much to do, these days.  And I would like to do something useful with my days.

It is the law of the universe. Even if we wanted to make it change, we could not.

Laws can be broken.

It would be nice if that was true. It would be easier, and feel much better.

But it doesn't work that way.

If you say so, kid. Sounds a lot like just accepting things, to me.

The nature of an Old One is to wait and listen for the Light. You could call it acceptance. For us there is only our duty, after all.

Wow, what a snorefest.

[lightbranded]

It is the way it is.

If you say so, kid.
