Siran stood up and stepped forward. He turned and addressed the crowd. "Over a decade ago, a young boy came to Belle Academy. His eyes were bright, and a he wore a smile on his face. But I also saw fear on that face. He had been through much. It was a look I was quite familiar with, working with the academy as I do. So I told this young boy, 'wherever you've come from, you're safe now. This academy is happy to be your home.' He was so relieved to hear this. I still remember the smile he gave when he heard that. I kept my eye on him as he grew older. I had to, since he kept surpassing any expectation that was set for him.his name always sat on the honor roll. The headmaster's list always had his name on it. His theses still sit in the reference section. He has proven an invaluable part of many of my expeditions. I have had the pleasure of watching this man go from a small boy full of unrecognized potential, to a respected man who has taken this potential and used it to his fullest, and still is not done. Astien, I apologize to you now for all that I have put you through in recent months. I am honored that you invited me to your wedding anyway, and I am glad to see you are still a man capable of forgiveness and goodwill. I toast you and Marius, and I hope that I may live to see this marriage last all your lives."
I'm just here for a laugh
