"And what do you learn from a beating? There is no benefit to violence in response to honest mistakes, ever. It only risks your health and the health of your brain, which is your primary asset. He hits you because he wants to hit, not to teach you any lesson. You hold no actual value to him. He's shown that."

(maybe a few days/weeks later once Kivvien has perfected the virus and they're in an inn at the edge of the habitable world, about to go into the darklands, or is that too far?)

(Sounds like a good plan--should we maybe go a little before that though? Hieronymus is struggling emotionally)

(A few days later then, let's just say they're just a week or two's journey from the edge, and Kivvien got the virus working earlier but doesn't know if it'll work on a fully live specimen)(Let's say it's been tense between the travelers, and they haven't really been talking for the past few days)
