Ameline Valtin dips her head lightly to present company, "Such marvelous tales by Ladies Ciel and Jancis. I have but a humble bit of prose to offer, should you lend me your ears." She smiled.
Ever have I thought mine self a simple thing.
Oft to gaze on things that may -
-Seem vapid to those of learned means.

Oft to quip mine self as daft;
Slow to speak yet nary meek -
Retorts of wit met with scorn and laugh.

But once a wise one spoke unto me:
'To hear but words is for the birds;
'Discerning intent is what you seek.'Â
♣♣♣
And as we gather here to praise the Wise;
I know wisdom transcends the simple 'what' and 'why'!
Ameline bows politely, "Thank you, kind souls of Eorzea! Wisdom be with you!"
V'aleera grins and claps enthusiastically, watching the woman with a gaze laden with admiration and curiosity.
"Thank you as always, Lady Ameline."
