[Garden was certainly busy today. As Mae looks around her at the hustle and bustle of cadets walking by she can see why they had asked her to return and take up a teaching position. There hadn't been nearly this many cadets here when she'd left! Smiling, she hefts her bag over her shoulder and starts to walk towards her goal, the cafeteria. After such a long trip she's earned the right to a nice warm meal surely.]

I just hope the cafeteria has something that isn't hot dogs. [While many claim they are the peak of the food Garden has to offer, she's not very fond of them.]

[Feel free to bump into her as she heads to the cafeteria, once she's eating, or even afterwards as she heads towards the dorm! A little later, once she's gotten time to hit the bbs she leaves this message.]

I'm glad to see that the Garden is doing well. It's a little surprising at how quickly the cadet population has grown while I've been away. I've heard the reports, but that's nothing like seeing it in person.

I look forward to meeting everyone that I've not had the pleasure to meet as of yet. My name is Mae and I'll be teaching Leadership 101 and Advanced Bladed Weapons when the quarter starts up again. This will be my first time in an official teaching capacity so please be patient with me. I'm sure I'll learn as much from you as you learn from me!

It's certainly good to be back.

Aye.

A Warden?

I think I know how that is. And I'm sure you'll be find as an instructor.

A Grey Warden, to be specific, we're the only ones who are capable of stopping the blight.

[Mae smiles a little bit at that.] Thank you. I certainly hope you're right.

Sometimes I think it'd be easier to face the whole blight single-handedly than to face the idea of a classroom where everyone is looking to me for instruction.

I see... if I may ask though; how?

[Laughs quietly.] Just remember that mistakes will happen. The goal isn't to make them mistake-proof or perfect, just help them learn from the mistakes and keep moving forward, he.

It's in our blood. [She smiles cryptically.] And that's all I can say on the matter.

Do you know what makes this funny? I never actually wanted to be a leader. Yet here I'm supposed to be teaching leadership to cadets. Irony knows no bounds I suppose.

Good enough. [Waves a hand.]

Heh. I think most good leaders didn't want it. Even our Commander doesn't seem too big on the position. On the bright side, if nothing else, you can teach what not to do, eh?

My senior was very stubborn a bout not leading. Something about how we'd end up lost and he'd end up without any pants.

[She smiles.]

How I'm not really certain. I figured I probably didn't want to know.

[Blinks.] I guess that describes some of my fellow commanders back home....

Heh, just do your best Instructor.
