"Exactly!" Viol pounded the table. "Exactly."
"Ash can't fight," Helge pointed out patiently. "I'll excuse him that. But he could at least be in the tents on the battlefields helping to strategize!"

Jerica nodded in agreement. “Or, you know, talking out their problems like big boys. The whole lot of them. Not throwing tantrums.”

"There's no reasoning with Tarr." He shook his head. "That one's a wild animal."

“And yet Loquitur decided to get involved with him,” she sniffed.

"Nothing is worth that," Viol growled. "I can't believe he would do that."

“Well, he did.” She took another drink of her beer. She was definitely starting to feel it. And should probably stop soon. Or at least shut up. Maybe she should go back to her room soon. Meh.

"I'm going up there as soon as I can," Viol said firmly. "And I'm having words with him."
"Once again--how are you getting in? You're Tom's friend, not Ash's."
"He'll let me in."

“Worst he could say is no,” Jerica encouraged, thrilled with the idea of Loquitur getting yelled at.

"Worst he could say is 'to the dungeon with you, impudent peasant.'" She finished off her ale. "But I'll not be bullied."

Oh. Right. Her privilege was showing a bit.

Still. Ash didn’t seem the type. Especially not against one of Loquitur’s friends. “Worth the risk, I think.”

"Hmf."
"I've never been up there," Helge mused. "What do you suppose it's like?"

Jerica drew a breath to respond, then remembered she wasn’t supposed to know. So she shrugged and took another drink of beer.

"Probably very stuffy," Viol snorted. "And lots of fireplaces."
