After almost a fortnight, today I wrote two pages for Chapter 30 of Kansas 2 - The Yellow Brick Road! I'm so insanely happy that my muse didn't fell victim to re-decorating hell, after all! Here, have some Minbari musings!
Excerpt:
Nidell went out with the fighting troops, too. Not for some nebulously romantic reason humans might have seen in the act, though. Minbari saw nothing romantic in useless sacrifices. Had Nidell not been a trained Warrior, she would not have volunteered for the fighting troops; and even if she did, Neroon would not let her off the ship.
While it was true that all Minbari lived to serve, people were also supposed to serve in a place that suited their abilities best – for the good of the crew, for the good of Clan and Caste; for the good of the whole Minbar. It was that simple, and useless heroics had no place in the time-honoured order of Minbari society.
