Re: A Mote in the Eye...
"Makes sense," Vos replied as Ramesses outlined the reasons why they couldn't "fake" giving the Eye to their government. Besides, although she didn't say so out loud... her loyalty to the Crown was such that she couldn't just LIE to them about such things. She could slant a report in the interest of the greater good, but it would have to be more compelling before she'd outright falsify.
"Guess I need to go in the first time," she offered, "and the second after the others." She still hadn't been in the chamber, wanting everyone else who needed the healing to have it first. And, Ramesses' answers had allayed any of her concerns. She could respect a man who took a stand for his principles, even if they ran contrary to their goals.
By now her wounds were already healed, but she was still exhausted. Vosper entered the chamber.
