[timsh14]
timsh resolved never, so long as he was exiled in braelig, to forget that
he had come from elsewhere, and that where he came from was a wonderful
place in which he could do magic. He further resolved to work as hard
as he could to forsake the ways of braelig, of which he by and large disapproved,
and live secretly in reverence to his former environment. His experiences
with loopiness had taught him that success in braelig, although he had
never achieved it, would come at too high a price. But nonetheless, timsh
knew that he would have to make a way for himself in braelig, if only
to survive. Over time, timsh increasingly recognized that the ways
of braelig were mostly anathema to those ways which would serve his desire
to keep in remembrance that former life of which he had only a vague and
fleeting understanding. And so timsh began to see the wisdom of
his master, who had advised that if ever timsh were at a loss as to what
to do, he would be best served by undertaking the opposite of what he
observed those around him doing.
