"Not babysit, merely protect," Vera-Kin says, observing Rianna's hurt and seeking to ease it, realizing that if Rianna took from this that nobody had faith in her that it could be damaging in the long run. "From Rand and from yourself. You are a strong young woman, Rianna, and I do not doubt your resolve. But this was more dangerous for you than anyone else. They had to be sure you would be safe in undertaking it.
"Myraline trusts you. She just worries."
Vera-Kin realizes that this is not even close to resolved in Rianna's mind, but that focusing on the next step will help her maintain herself. She sighs nonetheless, perhaps thinking that Myraline's paranoia has only caused further problems than results.
"There is only one further step that I can imagine at this point," Vera-Kin says. "We know what Rand wants overall... so we can't let him have it. Astrune is going to give us the Box or we are going to take it from her. With General Hirget dead and Major Bradox more than willing to let us do so as long as it stops worse tragedies, I say we do it quickly, now that we've rested."
Going in violent! Barker does not need to be asked twice; he is eager to put that infamous Wookiee strength to the test, with his shotgun as back-up. Colby, however... will need some prompting. He has locked himself in the cockpit of Viloc to avoid you Jedi types after the spaz out that Rianna exhibited in her sleep.
"Go away!" he shouts when you try talking to him.
"It is a matter of quantity and quality. The more skilled fighters we have when we go in, the better we will fair. I promise to protect you, Colby, to the best of my ability. If you do not trust Rianna, at least find it within yourself trust in me."
("No offense," Vera-Kin says to Rianna, quietly, so that Colby doesn't hear. "You did try to stab him in your sleep."😉
