GAHRYE
Gahrye's heart almost stopped. Then stuttered back to life and raced away. He shook his head. "No, Elia. Absolutely not."
"Gahrye—"
"Do you remember how angry he was when he learned I'd helped you train in secret? And that was with people around you and… no."
"Gahrye, I'm not going to cross. I'm saying you should."
"No! If he found out he would drag me through the city by my testicles."
"He won't find out. You're so good at this, Gahrye. No one will know."
"You'll know! I'll know! That means eventually Reth will know."
"No, he won't. I won't tell him."
Gahrye gave her a look.
Elia's mouth dropped open. "What? I never told him about the training! He caught us!"
"Yeah, and almost killed me for helping you. Can you imagine what he'd do now? Right after war? Elia, you're not thinking this through!"
