Teacher and Student (Patreon)

While I greatly admire the Khemians, sometimes even I am embarrassed by my teacher's...overzealousness. He considered painting himself with gold dye this morning, trying to mimic the Khemian tattoos. He thought it might impress the vizier. I was only just able to convince him not to.

He is a strange man, but I feel that while we should acknowledge Khemian ingenuity, we should not forget who we are, or where we come from. That, and I believe that such acts would be viewed as pathetic by the Khemian officials.
