In the morning, at breakfast, he sat opposite me, sipping at tomato juice and rubbing his temples. I wondered if maybe he’d forgotten the whole thing.

“You know, most Shepherds take a break after their apprenticeship,” he said. “I understand why you wanted to jump straight into your deployment but it’s been so long since you’ve had a proper holiday. How do you feel about taking some leave?”

He said it so casually it almost sounded like I had a choice.

“That sounds like a great idea. Thank you.”

“Good, good. Three weeks. Starting tomorrow. It’s enough time to go back to Sunder, if you wish. But we’re so close to the western coast. You’ve never been to Vera, have you?”

Come on. Like you don’t know every place I’ve ever been in my life.

“No. Not yet.”

“Oh, you must. It’s lovely this time of year.”

“Sure.”

“Perfect. I’ll organize you a carriage in the morning.”
