Health: Tradition and Silver

[Knox 1029]

Kaelan Aldin swats the paper butterflies, their irritants bugging him within the Republics citadel.

 

”Do we recognise self-imposed exiles opinions, Maheral? How did she even hear of this debate from her tent in the middle of nowhere!?”

“-is why I would like to follow up with how do you intend to deal with these individuals or bring your emotions under control? 

 

“To follow up from your question regarding events, you speak of scheduled events, but then mention two? Does this mean to say you have an idea for scheduling one major event a month and if, time obeys. Two? I would like some clarification on that.”

 

“- As for your capability in involving yourself with the art of courtship, do you not feel you would be pressuring the ‘thill further into their relationship? I am of the opinion that would only cause the relationship to dwindle and perish, which would not assist in our prosperity.

 

 

“As for clarification upon your first question, the answer is I intend to do both. I actively seek to compromise with fools and both seek to reign in my emotions. Second bit of clarification, yes, that’d be correct. Two events an Elven month if we can manage it. I encourage little events in between, run or hosted by the citizenry.  

 

“As for whether or not I’d feel as if I’m pressuring a relationship, I’d say no. Nelgauth, too, has done something similar to this. I got shouted but another physician, Cinh, many years ago because I failed to even ‘prepare’ the wedded couple for such a wedding. If the relationship perishes because of a bit of pressure on it by outside forces, is it not, then to say, a wedded union might fall apart just as fast?”

 

” However, my idea is less to involve myself in it then you think. Little things, like knowing the family, or family history, of your future spouse is important. In fact,  I am actually seeking to ask courting partners to spend more time together, so they might learn more of each other. See how their future spouse reacts to stress, power, and other outside factors they do not control. I strive for stronger unions for Elcihi, to provide a prosperous future for Mali’thill. I have seen women who lock themselves into marriage only to be the ones to put more work into it then their husbands. Rearing children by themselves, caring for the family. Those of you here will know a few yourself. These are not the bonds I wish to see, truly, as it broke my heart every time I saw it. I applaud courtships like that of Silvyr Uradir and Amberleigh, because I have seen them actively pursuing what is best for their future; knowledge of each other’s lives.” 

[Knox 1029]

Kaelan nodded in appreciation, dropping his quill upon the table

”I have no further questions at this moment in time.”

[Keldrith 717]

 

Silvyr  Uradir puts his hands behind his back, as he observes his opponents. He listened to each one’s spiel patiently, and when it was his turn to speak he turned his glance to all those would would listen, ensuring his voice was loud and confident enough to be heard. 

 

“Farandil Aldin, I can’t help but feel you have listened to my speech and stole my idea. After your first statement, I suggested the care for the mentally unstable. This is a system that has not been tried before, and personally one that I don’t feel you understand. Regardless of your position in a corrupted guild. It takes special medicine to bring those back to good mental health, not just words. And on the Uradir Estate, I have the ability to create that medicine right at home, and I’m more than certain Dele would have the same access.” 

 

The Uradir took a moment to let the information soak into the crowd, he then turned to Dele with challenging eyes, not letting down his guard for even a moment. 

 

“Dele Seregon, you claim to be a doctor, but If I remember correctly you are quite the hostile character. Is it not a medical professionals obligation to heal weak or mentally unstable, rather than  fight them? Your character is well known, and studied by all. It is without a doubt that you do not truly live by the laws of a doctor, rather you have made up your own, and keep the doctor name for when it’s convenient. Bringing pain to our enemies is against our code, one which you do not truly understand as a doctor, or medical professional.”

 

Silvyr raised a small fist infront of himself, projecting his words outwardly with his body language as much as possible. Ensuring to look strong for the people he was speaking to. 

“I have taken time away from Haelun’or, but that was over 8 years ago. Since then, I have been a contributing member of society. And I have lived my entire life without inflicting pain on a single person. It is without a doubt in my mind that a doctor should never live to create pain, rather we must heal it. I am a trained botanist, and know well how to attain these materials myself. But I also feel it would be a waste of the people’s time to wait on me personally gathering these materials. Which is why, if I am elected, I would ensure both of my competators have the funding to continue their work, and help the city in the ways I will need them to. The ways the people need them to. I suggest a union of minds, rather than a divide for power. With my influence, we can secure this city from further disaster, especially in these delicate times.” He paused once again, turning his gaze away from his opponents, speaking directly to the people who listened. “Haelun’or should be a safe, healthy place. One our children are not afraid to grow up in, one where all people should have free and reliable access to medicine. I have made great promises before, but I would like to cement them with this. If the people are not confident in my plan within ten years, I promise here today that I will step down from my position, and allow one of my competitors to take my place.”

“You dare spit this in my face? YOU DARE SPIT THIS IN MY FACE? You know as well as I, I had no choice in the matters of ‘bringing pain’- I was ordered to do so, by the former Council and Diarchy. Do you realize that I recited the mantra, dissent is treason and treason is death at every moment I lived and breathed in doing so? I spent years disgusted with myself for having to listen to the orders of those over me- Remind yourselves, that the one time I ever questioned the orders of the Diarchy, I was threatened that it was treason by Malaurir Elibar’acal, long before she ever realized what a scam they were? If you ever paid attention, Silvyr, that I begged Nelgauth to put laws in place so that we no longer would be required of these practices, because of how deeply unethical it was to do so? These laws will be put in place over my dead body, I can promise you that much. You did not watch children bleed, you did not get threatened in a locked ward with murder, you’ve not put bleeding men back together. You say I am hostile, Silvyr, but you seem to forget it is a facade. Do you mistake my volume and determination for hostility? I am told I seem hostile, that I am frightening, but all are surprised to see I am a motherly sort, a kind sort. The one willing to give you her bread, her blood,  her life, should you so need it. I will fight tooth and nail for anybody here,”

 

Her voice seems to crack, eyes watering. She’d swallow down the bile in her throat. It seemed the words had cut a bit deeper then probably intended.

 

“ I should remind most present, that when I arrived in Haelun’or we had nothing but two cots and an open air room as a clinic. I built this clinic with my bare hands and I will fight for the lives within this city with them too, no matter how scarred they become. I will ALWAYS stand steadfast against the storm, for I have weathered the storms myself, and I will weather them side by side with you. The hiylun of your mind and body has always come first to me, no matter how disgusted I have been with myself in the past for the orders made of me by the Diarchy and Council. I have made small decisions, little ones, to spare pain and suffering.  I will keep fighting for what must be preserved, I will fight till my dying breathe to ensure the safety of those who place their trust in me, and the skeptics will find me offering them olive branches. Nobody will be left to drown, nobody will be left to struggle. You want my help? Find me, I am here. I’m but a bird away. You need my advice? Find me- Call for me, and I will come. You know where I live, where I linger, I see your faces everyday and I know your names, I know your voices, I reach out to you with these hands, that have fought, healed, and tended. I just ask that you see that you can trust  me. A secret given to me will be guarded with my life and not even pain could draw it. If it is a troubling secret, I will WORK with you. It will not leave my lips, unless you’ve given me permission. I want for nothing more in my life then to protect the wellbeing of Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya and the Mali’thill of Elcihi’thilln. I have no interest in power, I have no interest in titles. I am Laurir, but I don’t care. It is a title- I am still Dele Seregon, known before as Dele Moonbrook, I run for this position not to better myself or my name, but to better this city. I have been striving for YEARS to reach for this position, and I will take the burden so willingly. The Okarir’hiylun was removed twice in the six  odd decades I have lived within the city, and I was robbed twice of this position over grudges held against the predecessor. I will bleed, cry, sweat, and fight by your sides- I promise you that, as long as there is breath within my lungs, and energy in my body. Mark my words, and if you so believe them, even if you do not, I will offer my life to serving what I have sought for years to protect and nurture against chaos.”
