Once Kit had left to reunite more privately with Alistair, and she was certain that the young spymistress was therefore not listening in on her thoughts, she drew a long sigh."I wonder," Brionna thought, "if Kit realizes that detouring to depetrify her friends may have lost her the chance to save Princess Anastasia. I hope not, in a way, although she is very young, and needs to start thinking about longer-term goals. Perhaps that's the difference between us. Kit's very nice; she really cares about individuals, and helping out her friends. Even now, I think she's mostly working at the court because she loves Alistair, although she's coming to love Canberry too. I would probably have left Jet and Alessandre there as statues for a few days, and pursued the mission, or else gotten help from the court mages back at Canberry. After all, they weren't in any harm, and the long-term future of an entire nation was at stake. And that doesn't make me a nice person. I can't afford to be; we nobles are trained to think of the good of the whole, and of the effects of our actions 10 or 30 or 100 years from now. It's not that I don't care; it's a question of priorities. i'd be sad personally if Alistair died, even if he is a bit of a twit occasionally, but devastated on behalf of Canberry and the forces of Light. Now I just need to make sure no one mentions to Kit the attractive priestesses of Glordiadel I've been distracting Alistair with while she's been away. I'll ask the chaplain to start rotating them out of the choir at morning services. Kit might think I don't approve of her relationship with His Grace. And I do! But really - she was gone for almost two weeks. Alistair was going to sleep with someone, and much better for it to be people who were reliable, discreet, and pre-screened as good and loyal, than some random chambermaid whose cleavage he liked.  Still, much better for her not to know. We can't afford distractions caused by a lovers' quarrel - not this close to the coronation!</blockquote>
