Bab 43: The Ceremony

'I have no idea Rebecca. Do you want me to read him and find out? We are cohorts that could be seen as offensive.'

'I can do it.'

'No you can't Ambruce! Try and learn social norms please.'

'Not at the expense of those you care about, or are important to you in some way. Trusting your cohort is important to its functioning. Understand?'

'Maybe.'

'Thank you Ambi, but Smral is right. I do not want to offend Struns. I am just worried about him. We are here for his union ceremony and he is sullen, borderline furious.'

'So you asked the question knowing you may never know the answer?'

'Exactly. In her worry she allowed her thoughts to be heard only because talking it out with us may be able to help Struns or, at the very least, put Rebecca at ease.'
