Ria flashed Alrim a small, wry smile, “You asked what I would do in your shoes, and I answered honestly. I’m not suggesting it is the path you should walk, nor would I, as a rule, encourage one of our Ji’val to go on a mission of revenge. I’m sure the Amyrlin and M’Hael would not approve if I were to do such a thing.
“Having said that, we afford our mid-ranks a bit more freedom than we do our learning ranks. I see no reason why you shouldn’t be able to visit home. You are allowed to grieve, Alrim Farhsera. I will give you my approval, though you will also need to speak with the Master of Training. I will have a word with him, though I doubt it is necessary. We are a firm but fair lot, despite what some might think,” Ria tried to reassure the man before her.
Looking around the dingy bar, and the small area set aside for fights, Ria found herself wondering if many of the learning ranks came here during their time off, or if this was a one-off by Alrim? It wasn’t one of the more reputable inns in Hama Valon, but she knew it wasn’t as bad as some places in some of the bigger cities.
“So tell me. . .are you inclined to continue fighting those who’d dare match you in that excuse of a ring behind me, and drink yourself into a stupor, or are you perhaps ready to head back to the Tower? After a night’s sleep, you can meet the Master of Training tomorrow and arrange a leave to head home. I won’t stop you, though, if you are inclined to carry on.”
