The Foolish and the Weak: A Corran Horn Story

I don't believe there was any mention of Iella. ...

 

I'm not sure if Corran met Iella that young...

UP!

 

I don't know how old he was, but she mentions his mother in one of the books. It made it seem as though she knew her.

 

Woah woah woah guys, just cool it for a while okay ? (I am still technically 'not here' but I do hang round once in a long while). The problem is that Ejedir has a very busy life right now--a singing group, an acting group, and she's in a production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" right now. Add ninth grade homework and social relationships to that . . . she's not on the puter much anymore (she also teaches and takes piano lessons). We haven't been able to get together and write for a while now--this month we will, I swear it! Sorry sorry sorry for the wait . . . just hang in there, kay? We'll make it up to you!!

 

Hey RJ!!! UP!!!

 

<grin>
<Calm down. It's okay. They will post.>
hehe

 

Okay peeps. . . I am deeply sorry for not posting. . . hehe. . really I am, but as Jai said, my life is not exactly permitting me to be on the internet. . like hardly at all. I'm lucky if I get to check my email in two weeks! For the last month I've had two plays to rehearse for, and so that takes up two or more of my days. I have piano on one day, and teach on two others. Then I am in a singing/performing group and of course I'm involoved in school and church activities. Supposedly we're going to try and finish this up and give you a humongous post over spring break(this week) If not, you'll at least get a big one

Sorry for the delay! Thanks for the support and keep reading!

 

*grin*

tomorrow, tomorrow. . .thursday if all else fails

 

Corran shrugged and followed him. The four young men sat down in the hard metal chairs reserved strictly for the ?bad? kids. Corran, Chance and Joey sat slouched with their arms folded across their chests while Tjiad sat, still staring at his robe. ?Tops.? Grabbek called.

Joey stood and sighed. ?I am resigned to face my doom, please keep my music safe until I return.? He walked into Grabbek?s office and less than five minutes later came out with a drawn, sad expression on his face.

?It is horrible. The Inspector has told me that I must un-dye my hair before I will be able to attend class. It is a waste of credits because I just got it done one week before now. I am extremely saddened.?

?Sorry man.? Chance looked past Joey at Grabbek.

?Koger, you?re next.?

Chance let out a deep breath and stood. ?Wish me luck.?

Tjiad finally spoke at this point. ?Trust in the Elders, they will lead you through this.?

?Right.? Chance shook his head and bobbed his head at Grabbek as he passed. The door slammed shut behind him. A few minutes later, he returned to the group. ?No big
deal, I just have to be the cook?s aide for a week.?

?T. . .T. . .You.? Grabbek said and pointed to Tjiad.

Tjiad stood and bowed slowly. ?I believe that you are in league with the Elders and understand that I beg forgiveness for throwing a pea at my friend Corran.?

?I don?t really care. My office.?

Tjiad nodded and slowly strolled into the office. He came out, jaw quivering. He turned back to look into the office. ?This is special attire! I must be allowed to continue to wear it! The Elders would not approve. The Priests will get you!?

Tjiad took his seat. ?Corran.? Grabbek said.

Corran hesitated not at all and walked confidently into Grabbek?s office. ?Sir?? He queried.

Grabbek shook his head. ?Corran, Corran. I expected better of a Horn. I let you in because of your high score on the entrance exam, but you are showing me that you do not have the maturity to be here.?

Corran smirked. ?Inspector, notice that I do not have a speck of food on me, hence, no evidence. And evidence is the core of any case sir, according to CorSec rules and regs. Not to mention that I have had enough control and maturity to be here since I was thirteen. Anything else sir??

Grabbek huffed and cleared his throat. ?You missed your calling Horn. You should have been a lawyer.?

Corran shook his head. ?A slimy snake? I think not.?

?I will let you off easy, for the reason that you are correct, I have no evidence. You will serve a week in the kitchen with your roommate though. Agreeable??

?Five days.?

?A week.?

Corran shrugged. ?It was worth a try. Thank you sir.? Corran about-faced and practically marched out of the room. The door swung shut behind him. He grinned at his three co-conspirators. ?Too easy. Classes start in a week, until then, I suggest we fulfill our punishments.?
****

?What?s your schedule?? Chance asked him as they washed tables.

Corran shrugged. ?Classes don?t start until tomorrow. I don?t have to have them memorized until then.?

?You miss your parents?? Chance dumped his cloth into the bucket.

Corran stopped and stared out into nowhere for a moment then turned to his roommate. ?Yeah, some times more than others.?

?I miss mine a lot. Kinda funny, a nineteen-year old boy missing his parents.? Chance chuckled a bit. ?Miss my younger siblings too, you have any brothers or sisters??

Corran paused again. ?No.? He threw his rag into the bucket. ?How many do you have??

Chance shook his head. ?Too many to remember.?

?Come on.?

?Eight, nine with me. I?m the oldest.?

Corran pulled a face. ?Ouch, how is it??

?Busy, hectic, and chaotic.? Chance laughed. ?But I wouldn?t change it for the world.?

?Yeah,? Corran grabbed the bucket and began to walk toward the kitchen. ?I had a sister once. She lived for less than a day, and . . . .? He trailed off, embarassedly realizing that his voice had cracked, something it hadn?t done for three years. Chance gave
