I thought I'd play too.

Dear Barel,

Having now become the arch hydromancer you are, looking back, do you think your decision to join the tower was correct, or would you have joined the circle instead?

Pensive, The Gutter.

Dear Pensive,

Whilst there are some things I do regret about my time as a patrolee, joining the Tower when it formed is not one of them. I've always found the community and the mentality comforting, and I wouldn't be the person I am without the influences and focus they have provided me.

It's possible you ask because you are having similar thoughts about your own choices? If so, it's worth trying to think about what it is you think would be better if you had chosen differently, and what you can do in the here and now to work towards your goals. Changing the past is fraught, but changing the future for the better is definitely achievable - and believe me, I speak from direct experience on that!

Good luck,
Aunt Barel

Dear Auntie Tully,

How many shiny things is too many? I currently have one hundred and ninety-two shiny things, but am worried that I won't be able to store them anywhere safe. Any suggestions?

Dear Auntie Barel,

My idiot big brother is trying to convince me to join the Tower of Fire. Can you provide me with a definitive, decisive put down in favour of the Tower of Water that will shut him up until the end of time?
