The curses do...vary here.

I was wondering.

Does your offer still stand?

I would ask that this matter be dropped. It is between Eagle and myself, Guru Clef.

[He paused a moment. This wasn't a matter of not trusting those here. Or not trusting Eagle. This was...making sure things didn't get more complicated than they were already.]

My wish is that the others not learn of this.

[If it were kept between them then that would be best. No one needed to get involved in this.]

And, I will not take another sword.

[ Clef certainly couldn't say that he was at all surprised by Lantis's response. He considered it for a few moments. Far be it from him not to respect the Cail's wishes, but... Well. Not telling the Knights when Lantis was injured was one thing. Not telling, say, Presea that Eagle couldn't really be trusted bordered on neglect. It would be more than a little presumptuous of Lantis to ask, even if he weren't dating her.

On the other hand, Lantis probably thought he was doing everyone a favor by keeping them uninvolved. Even if he was only doing it to keep things simple on his end, it was certainly a person's right to keep one's disputes private. And Presea wasn't very good at pretending not to know things, so he couldn't tell her and not have it affect anything--

... Oh, what as he even thinking? This was ridiculous; he shook his head. ]

I respect your decision, Cail Lantis, as should anyone of sound mind and high opinion of you.

However. [ Glares up at him. ] I will not keep your secret beyond what discretion demands and, should a similar situation arise in the future, you had better not let me catch you sneaking around like some coward. If you do not want the others involved, I expect you to have the nerve to tell them to their faces.

[ Pauses, considering whether he had overstepped his bounds. He did not want to make the mistake of treating Lantis like a child, and he certainly felt that he was talking to him that way at the moment. On the other hand, he very firmly believed that this was not something he should have to say to an adult.

More quietly he added, ] I hope I have made my position sufficiently clear.

[The coward part didn't even sting. He'd heard it too many times back on Cephiro. People accusing him of being a traitor. A coward who fled. But they could think what they wished. Clef could scold him too.

At least...at least that girl wouldn't become involved in this.]

I understand, Guru Clef.

[ Clef most certainly didn't think that of him, but seeing him try to sneak around like that... it wasn't right. He shouldn't have to. But obviously he'd felt it necessary, Clef decided as he studied Lantis's lack of reaction. And he probably still thought it was necessary, and would do it again. Even if he knew it was wrong, and he probably did.

Clef sighed, letting his shoulders droop a little, uncharacteristically. ]

... I know.

[ He realized he had tired of this discussion and, in any event, didn't think there was any more worth saying. So, he turned and went to the doorway, looking over his shoulder at the last moment. ]

Let's go. I'll show you to your room.

Thank you, Guru Clef.

[Lantis bowed his head to him politely as he followed after Clef. He would need to know anyways. Even if he really didn't plan on using it often.]
