When the time finally came for the Morbid Socialite to rise and speak with the Academic, it was with some small amount of trepidation. Seated across from their teacher, they quickly composed themselves and started.
"I will admit, dear Emmisary," he began, "that I am caught between two paths. On the one hand, I am a poet and a linguist at heart. To communicate emotion and intention effectively through the use of the Correspondence would, in an ideal world, be my first choice, whether that be in epistolary practices, poetry, or, if I may be so bold, emmistolant. However, necessity requires me to pursue batbiorangilogical studies. The reason I joined this class in the first place, the reason I ever came to the Neath. I have... other paths I can walk to reach this goal, but I honestly believe the Correspondence may assist in propelling my work beyond what I've been able to do thus far. However, your method of teaching, the lessons we've learned as of this class period, has excited the linguist in the inner mind, urging me closer to a desire to communicate and help others communicate.
"And here do we reach the dilemma. To pursue the arts and epistolation, which I may not otherwise have a chance to pursue? Or to follow what I came here for, purely by necessity and not by passion?" It was a genuine question, one that the Socialite prayed the Academic could offer insight towards.
