Swiftcurrent Creek But at least I can say I tried

Arric had learned quickly, surprisingly so. That he was not his children's hero. It smarted a little, because his dad had always and would always be his. So to know that he didn't inspire such confidences was both heart breaking and ego letting. 

Arric sighed softly. Let me tell you a secret Burdie. We won't always know and we won't always win. That's how life works. Someone could trespass and I wouldn't know it. I am not infallable. However, the important thing is that when I do know someone is trespassing or even in general if i know something is right or wrong. The important thing is despite any past failings. That I continue to try and make sure that I chase out the trespasser or I do the right thing. Because that's all we all can do. Is the right thing in the moment. And if we don't do it and we make a mistake. We have to give ourselves a little grace.

Arric chuckled. If they say those things. Then I guess me and Unc Akavir would have to prove them wrong wouldn't we?
