Over a year ago she was publicly announced as a daughter of the Clan. I know of no change to her status since then. And, as her… ‘mentor’… is an idiot of supreme caliber and compromised judgment, I am officially her sponsor. So if Elkin’s status _had_ changed, I have no doubts I would know. ---

Adept Cora, perhaps it is because some people - or cultures - equate calendar years with wisdom. It seems to be a common denominator across the Empires, including our own. With time and persistence, this too will change for you. ---

> [@Anna\_Stjornauga](#): > > one of _Elkin’s_ ‘Clanfolk’. I am quite sure that Arsia is mean enough and witty enough to respond to my snark in the appropriately culturally Amarrian way. Not sure why you felt the need to intervene, but I suppose it does your clan credit that you back one another up in this way. ---

I admit, I’m shocked you can tell the difference. But, since it seems my last response vastly overestimated your intelligence, I’ll spell it out even more clearly: I didn’t need to. I wanted to. Would you like the contraction and past tense explained, too? ---

The former is a shortening of two words by omitting letters, and the latter is how you change words to indicate something that happened already. Wait, sorry… The first one is how you make two words small by making one word. The other one is for things not now, but not ‘not yet’, too. You’re ok with 5-letter words, right? ---
