Ketis did not stay for longer than a day on New Constantinople VIII.

As much as she would like to catch up with Ves and teach more swordsmanship lessons to Andraste, what she truly wanted was to go back to the expeditionary fleet and find the greater meaning of swordsmanship while witnessing the fighting up close.
