Perrin Fertha and Guests in “Unfinished Business”

Welcome! Welcome. Praise to the families and clans of Chandrila. Praise to those who have traveled to share in our most treasured tradition. As the, uh... As the father of the intended maiden, it is my Chandrilan duty to greet you, sagrona... To toast your health, sagrona teema, and in our very old ritualistic, and, well, insanely economic fashion, [guests laugh] it is also my duty to share just a single, truthful insight, sagrona teema solom. Leida. My sweet Leida. [to groom-to-be] Stekan... Pain will find you. Trouble and disagreement will arrive without summons. There's no choice in this. There's no effort required. You simply stand still and the galaxy will deliver a daily basket of fresh anxieties to your door without fail. [guests chuckle] But my solom... My solom seyna... The Elders know what I'm talking about, right? My hope... My hope... My hope is that you learn to reach past this constant cloud of sadness. Pleasure. Gaiety. Amusement. These are the hidden things. The music buried beneath all that noise... Joy. Joy! [guests laugh] Joy... But joy has no wind at its back. Joy will not announce its arrival. You need to listen for it, and be mindful of how fleeting and delicate it can be. But search out these treasures. A moment of, of pleasing sensation, the memory of laughter and good company, the comfort of a fine meal. And for me, [chuckles] For me, right now, it's the smile that I can't hide as I see these two young people sharing our greatest tradition. [toasts] Sagrona.

Sagrona teema solom!!!
