Ventemal said first, "So you would not say you have come from the realm of the fairies. Right? I get it... There must be other realms, just like there is the other realm beyond this reality where fairies come here from at times!" He thought, and then said, "In homes everyone who is growing up and all through their adulthood will wash dishes, many times. It is work for some people in businesses where food is served to others who are their customers. But it is a luxury that most will not go to so much, there are just a few of such businesses. There are farmers and there are builders of structures and there are craftsmen. I think you could come to more promising occupation, though it may be well off, you are yet a child but I know you would learn quickly. If you would teach, there isn't anything more needed than what is available to people here to learn for being farmers or builders or craftsmen. What more might you teach anyone? The ruling man Groudar didn't need to learn anything besides what is available, nor would any need more to come to the high council, other than social skills people generally should learn."
Ventemal still looked at Colin across the table from him, to watch for any reactions and see that Colin was understanding him. "You see, leading is doing things that gain you the respect of others. They will be more inclined to defer to what you say. You then lead with that. But it will not involve making any others do what they do not want to do. If you were owner of a business and had workers you pay, you might tell to do things they would not want to do, but they will do those things while you pay them, if it is enough for them. Would you rather have a position like that, rather than be a leader? It will be for what you can do when you have grown more, I can think of a few things for which such leaders will be wanted."
Ventemal had taken his time, but he finished up with what he had brought to eat there.
