Never Hide Your Heart
Katarine glanced at the schedule on her datapad and took a deliberate sip of tea.
It was going to be a long day.
She had set aside time to meet with every member of the Praxeum, from its newest arrivals to those who helped keep the school running. There were lessons to arrange and responsibilities to discuss, certainly, but she hoped their conversations would go further than that. She wanted to know what had brought each of them here, what they hoped to learn, and where they imagined their paths might lead.
Some would have some answers ready; others she would have to find, but she wanted to help each member today. Katarine had spent enough years following her own uncertain path to have patience for both types of questions. She set the datapad aside before she could begin rearranging the appointments again. On the desk sat a fresh pot of tea and a small plate of pastries she had brought up from the kitchens. She moved the plate closer to the chair opposite hers, then regarded it for a moment before taking one herself. At least the first meeting would not begin before she managed to forget breakfast.
For all her preparations, she knew there would be things no schedule could account for. Someone might need encouragement. Someone else might have a concern they had been reluctant to raise. If she wanted them to speak freely, she would have to give them room, and listen when their answers differed from what she expected.
At the sound of someone approaching, Katarine looked up. A welcoming smile softened her expression, and she gestured toward the empty chair.
"Come in. Help yourself to some tea, if you'd like."
She settled back, giving her visitor a moment to get comfortable.
"I'd like to hear how things have been going for you. Then perhaps we can talk about what you're hoping comes next, and how the Praxeum can help you get there."
