That sounded good. It was better than Hi's talk of threats. Making people happy seemed a good way to keep threats away, too.
As Aoaka peered into the globe, looking down at the tiny isle, his mind worked. He asked, "But... I know what would make me happy, but wouldn't it be different for other people? What if two Pae have opposite things that would make them happy?"

Polgara smiled, "I'll try to do my best to make sure both of them would be happy. I'm very sure they'd be able to reach a comprimise somehow, and I would be more than happy to mediate."

He thought about that. That sounded good. But... "There's a lot of Pae... are you sure you could handle it by yourself?" he said, sounding worried for her.
"Also I know some stubborn Pae who don't like to change their minds," he said, thinking. They usually got their way, too, because everyone else, including Aoaka, gave in after a while.
He continued, "So how would you make them compromise?"

Polgara smiled. "I'm sure, I've been a mother, I know how to juggle lots of people..." She chuckled and covered her mouth a little. "As to the stubborn ones, well... Sometimes it takes a bit of heavy handedness to make them bend..."

Aoaka nodded, knowing that to be true. "You're right about that. So if Pae don't get along, and they won't compromise, you're going to... uhm..."
He thought about what could be done, but not being the one to stand up to the stubborn ones, he wasn't sure. Maybe because she was a mother, she knew better what to do.
"...Well, I don't know. What would you do?" he asked, curiously.

Polgara chuckled, "Send them to bed without supper, so to speak," Polgara chuckled and brushed a hand through her hair. "Those that refuse to comprimise will just have to deal with not getting their way at all, that's how it works,"

Aoaka nodded, smiling at the analogy, but then thought of something. "But... everyone's not nice, so what if they don't like that? Won't they just do what they want anyway? They aren't children, after all," he said, and tilted his head.

Polgara laughed gently, "You'd be suprised how often stubborn people and children are very much alike." She smiled and then covered her mouth with the back of her hand. "Well, if thy do try to do what they want instead, I guess I'll just have to spank them now won't I?"

Aoaka laughed, too, and wondered if she was being literal or not. But he looked around, and nibbled on his lip.
"I think that sounds right. Only use punishment if you have to. Right? Do you have anything I could take home with me? So I can read? Or show others?" he asked.

Polgara smiled and nodded her head. "Yes this table right over here!" She chuckled and started to walk towards the table stacked with all sorts of politcal literature: Pamplets, flyers, etc.

Aoaka followed obediently, and peered at all the flyers on the table. There were even little signs one could put up!
"Wow, that's a lot of things... Uhm... I'll just take one of these flyers and... this one, too," he said, and smiled up at the elder.
"I like you, Miss Polgara," he suddenly said, and then realized how forward sounding that was. "I mean... well... you're nice, and you're fun to talk to. I hope you do well."

Polgara smiled and gave a small curtsy, "Why thank you," She chuckled softly and bowed her head. "I would have to say the feeling is mutual Mr. Aoaka," She grinned playfully at him before laughing and shaking her head slowly. "I hope I do well as well, if all goes well, there will be a bright new future for the isle, and you as well,"
Wow, did she use enough well in that sentence?

Aoaka smiled, glad that she liked him, too. He didn't like to be disliked, it made him feel like he'd done something wrong.
"Well... uhm..." he paused, not sure what to say. Now that his questions were answered, he was at a loss. "I should probably let you talk to other Pae, now. I'm sure they have questions, too," he said. He would have liked to have continued their conversation, but he hadn't thought of any topics, yet.

Polgara chuckled a bit, "It's fine," She says with a bright playful smile, "I'm sure I'll get around to all of them by the end of the night..." She started to twirl a bit of her hair in her finger, and she tapped her chin. "Well Mr. Aoaka, is there a Mrs. Aoaka?"
Suddenly, she realized what she was doing and her face blanced. Oh Guardians, this would NOT do at all. Yes she was lonely, and yes this young man was nice, but good Guardians he had to be a lot younger than her... and she was FLIRTING WITH HIM! In public, on the night of her announcement to run for a PUBLIC OFFICE, no less.
Oh Guardians Pol! Focus damn you!

Aoaka blinked, caught off guard by the question, and then blushed, though the color was muted under his gray-tinted skin. He ducked his head for a moment, regaining his composure, and shook his head.
"N-no... I've never met anyone who I know well enough," he answered honestly, though his face was still hot. He wondered why she asked. Was she trying to play matchmaker, or was she flirting? Either way, he was secretly flattered.
But, she probably isn't serious... I mean... this is me, after all. Aoaka was a humble Pae, and though he knew he was a good Pae, he didn't think he was all that interesting.
"Uh... how about you? Do you have... a significant other? Are they here?" he asked. He thought she must, since she said she was a mother.
