I mentioned it to Byerly. He got...

[how to best describe that reaction,]

...upset.

[archademode]

He cares deeply for you. Worries more so.

When we first took to discussing your training, it very quickly gave rise to an argument between us, our approaches differing.

You must not let it dissuade you. Your decisions must stand for themselves.

[altusimperius]

[But why can't he just make everyone happy? Isn't that what Diplomacy is all about?

He sighs, the sound quick and anxious.]

No one can protect me from what might happen. I have to be ready.

[archademode]

There. That is the correct approach.

[Approval rings clear in his voice.] When I next return, I shall help as you ask. To be ready.

For anything.

[altusimperius]

Thank you.

[A beat.]

...stay safe.
