So many transitions of all kinds would be easier if more people could just understand that:
“I’m changing my vocation,” Sibling Dex said. “I’m going to the villages to do tea service.”
Sister Mara, who had been in the middle of slathering a golden piece of toast with as much jam as it could structurally support, held her spoon still and blinked. “That’s rather sudden.”
“For you,” Dex said. “Not for me.”
“Okay,” Sister Mara said.
