I'm glad, ( he says gently, then rises. ) And I appreciate your candidness with your feelings. I'll take my leave now.
( Silco wants to hurt him. It's plain in his expression... in the way he looks at Kaladin over his shoulder. Naivelyβselfishlyβhe thought they might discover a way to work together and share in something that isn't contentious. To agree on one thing:
Jinx's health is important. She deserves as fair a shake as everyone else, and to feel safe on this base.
He will go, and he will review the night. Scrutinize his actions, the actions of others... All of it. Perhaps he can find ways to improve. )
Before I do, I'd like to extend to both of you an invitation. When the base is rebuilt, I intend to host meetings for people who've sustained... mental injuries. Injuries many consider incurable, or... untreatable. You'd be welcome there.
( He studies them quietly until his eyes soften. They look tired, and he's accomplished the duty he came here to do. )
Jinx... you've given me a lot to consider. And Silco... thank you for believing me.
