Rene hung the last of the party decorations over the door and quickly put the ladder away. The tables were set with various edibles, the curtains were crisp and ironed, the paper decorations were festive and cute, and the year was about to change.

2017 though? What a strange number. She wondered what their calendar was based on. No matter, a celebration was always a good time.

"It certainly sounds somewhat dull to not have the kind of diversity I'm accustomed to," Ujarak chuckled in response.

"We make do," she grinned. "Humans are still pretty diverse I guess. In our own ways."

"As are Tauren," he added. "As are all of the races of Azeroth. Diversity is strength."

"You know, it is. My best friend Magari is a Darscen, and a lot of people hate them." Rene's good mood soured quickly. "Something supposedly happened with them a few thousand years ago, so they get blamed for a lot of bad things. But even if it did happen, there's no one alive now who was responsible for it! And it's still used as an excuse to discriminate against them and...and worse..." She had done her best to shield Magari from seeing the worst of it, but in wartime there was only so much she could do.

"Many find it difficult to let go of the past," Ujarak said simply. "But as the saying goes, those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. Holding on to old grudges and hatred does nobody any favours. I feel sorry for those who cannot learn those lessons..."

Magari's treatment in society was one of the few things that truly upset Rene, and she sniffled a bit. "Sorry. It gets to me."

"I understand," he replied. He took Rene's hand and kissed it. "I did not intend to upset you. Please, allow me to make it up to you in any way I can," Ujarak offered.
