The effort had sapped so much of her strength that Tula fell asleep before Dax could gather his supplies.
I touched Bain’s sleeve. “Can I ask you something?”
The magician glanced at his apprentice.
“I’ll wait for you in your tower,” Dax said to him. He left.
“You can always ask. No need to get permission, child.”
I shook my head at the endearment. With only a bit of my strength returning, I felt ancient. I had no energy to correct him, though I doubt it would do me any good. He tended to call everyone child, even Irys, and she was twice my age.
“Irys hasn’t come to visit. Is she still angry with me?”
“I would not use the word angry. Furious or livid comes closer to the truth.”
My face must have reflected my terror because Bain laid a soothing hand over mine.
“You must remember that you are her student. Your actions reflect her skills as a teacher. What you did with Tula was extremely dangerous. You could have killed Tula, Opal, Leif and yourself. You did not consult Irys or seek her help, relying solely on yourself.”
I opened my mouth to defend myself, but Bain raised a forestalling hand. “A skill, I am sure, you learned in Ixia. No one to help you. No one to trust. You did what you had to do to survive. Am I not correct?” Bain didn’t wait for my reply. “But you are not in the north anymore. Here you have friends, colleagues and others to guide you and to help you. Sitia is very different from Ixia. No one person rules. We have a Council that represents our people. We debate and decide together. This is something you need to learn, and Irys needs to teach you. When she understands why you acted as you did, she will not be so upset.”
