I don't see you as too stiff. I might have opened the door because I prefer to blend in with expectations when it involves strangers (particularly old people). Sometimes it's easier to abide by social norms because I don't want to experience the bad juju vibes from oldies (those bug me). Then again, I might have let them be independent if they looked able. Some people are offended when given help. Add into the mix what the spirit thinks about the situation and who knows what I might do.
I figure you and the Shaman were each right. But if you think you're stiff and don't like it, then you certainly could change you. I just don't quite understand why you think yourself too stiff..... and really, some people are naturally stiff and maybe they don't need to change that. What if that's the thing that makes them eccentric and exotic? It's different. I'm fond of different. Different is interesting. Then again, you aren't trying to appeal to me. You're trying to appeal to yourself.
The stiffness is seen in the way how I did not analyze the situation further. Ideally, if I were wiser, I'd see these were very powerful spirits and that I need to show respect and politeness. (That it is expected even and that not doing it might not be good). I did not go that far. I was on the level of functionality and overt practicality - as is my predilection (hence I called it stiffness). Like they are able to open their own door so they should
. Kinda like telling kings they should dress and undress themselves cause they got 2 properly functioning hands...
Plus... (yea that is not all)... in dreams as in life sometimes you have like little tests. Or let's say moments when you are observed (cause it is not like a test test I'd hope, though sometimes it is even that)... sometimes you can make impressions on people that then last or affect something. And sadly those making the impressions do not always see all... so say I might seem rude to the spirits if they had not realized I was actually being considerate by not pitying them and thinking them feeble when they were not (although calling that being considerate is a bit of a stretch hehe, I was just practical is all - I looked, saw they don't need help, didn't give any).
Imagine it as a sort of a test.... in the sense that the powerful spirits disguised themselves as feeble old humans and wanted to see what happens, how we behave... too bad I saw through it. That was not supposed to happen :S XD
So, I treated them in practical terms and maybe that is not what they were supposed to be treated like. And I'd say the shaman would know better, given her experience and my lack thereof, that it was appropriate to open the door
. (which I might have noticed had I observed / felt into it more closely).
I also think we were each right. But would the spirits think so? (would the king think so? )
