RETH

"Are you out of your fucking mind?" Reth snarled.

Hollhye made a disapproving noise and looked over her shoulder to check that Behryn remained asleep before she turned back, whispering through her teeth. "He would be far more help to you as an Advisor. Keep him in the safety of the city, organizing and watching over the training and orders—"

"He's already my primary advisor, and the reason he's so good at it is because he's in the middle of it with me. He knows what is going on with each facet of our people, and he's able to take steps when I'm not there."

"He cannot advise you or lead your troops if he's dead! And if he keeps following you into danger because you are determined to get yourself killed, he will be lost to all of us!" she spat.

Reth opened his mouth to refuse her, but Aymora laid a gentle hand on his arm and gave him a look. He bit back the words, and huffed, taking a moment to think.
