... Very well. We shall speak with him, together. I see no reason that this should have to go beyond us. If I am satisfied that the penance is more effective than the observation, I shall relieve his current Tranquil companion of his duties.
But. [She looked up at Zevran, and her eyes were as hard as his had been.] If he has another incident, if he hurts someone while he was supposed to be under my care, I will take the public blame, but I will hold you personally responsible. I will not have him be executed for my mistake. I will expect you to give me another option. Do you understand?
