As Jora and Korlan walked back to the dormitory, he bent her ear about Arc and what a brute he was. His complaints ranged from the man’s smell to the impropriety of the two meeting privately at night as they did. “You don’t know anything about him. He could be some horrible raper of women or something.”

“Are you jealous?” she asked, smiling up at him. She’d meant it as a jest, but his scowl deepened.

“As your friend, it’s my duty to watch your back. You don’t need him as your champion—you have me.”

“I meant no insult, Korlan, but you have to admit, nobody’s going to bother me with him at my side.”

“You’ve got Po Teng to keep you safe. What use is that old dodder?”

Jora burst out laughing and then clapped a hand over her mouth. The sound of her laughter echoed down the dark, empty street. “He may be old, but he’s far from feeble.”

Recognition lit Korlan’s face. “Faible... That bastard called me feeble, didn’t he?”

“He was jesting. Don’t be so sensitive. Besides, Po Teng can’t keep me safe while I’m asleep.”

He looked at her with alarm in his face. “And he can? Do you have plans to sneak him into your room to watch over you? Because if you do, let me just put my neck on the chopping block now. Milad won’t believe I innocently failed to notice that.”

“I’m not, don’t worry. I don’t expect you to sacrifice yourself for me, but now you understand why I didn’t want you to come with me.”

He stayed quiet for the rest of the way, only wishing her a quiet goodnight when they reached the dormitory and went their separate ways.
