[Ansteorra] Marking your property

[Alianorra MacAiodh]

Being a Protege' and a student to a Laurel I take umbrage to this. Students are not "property" of their peer. We are students who are there to learn to be better at something we already love to do. 
 
My Pelican does not require me to wear a yellow belt. I do so out of pride that I have a Peer who finds me worthy to teach. I am not an apprentice, but were that status to change I would also chose to wear something to show my pride in my Laurel. 
 
Being a student is not a "status", personally to me, its an honor. It means someone has said, "I believe you can be great, and I will help you acheive your goal."

Except when they don't, and of course people often choose belt colors
based on what goes with their clothes.

Digression:

As a herald, and being interested in authenticity, I recommend that
peers mark their squires, cadets, apprentices, proteges, households,
gofers, trusted lieutenants, minions, lackeys, henchmen, sundry goons,
and other property with their badge.  To me, knowing *who* they're the
squire &c of is useful information, because I know who to Talk To
about them.  Since squires &c are not public utilities or slaves --
that is, they're not MY squire &c -- I have yet to have a use for
knowing that they're squire &c of some unknown person.
