"No," H'nry said flatly.

"H'nry," Etain said, "I hope you see that I am not your enemy."

"I understand, but I also do not regret the actions that I took," H'nry 
replied.

Etain nodded, "And somewhere within me, I find it hard to blame you for 
doing what you did.  I understand your loyalty to your fellows."

"I only want a fair trial for Kaelwyn."

"You will get it, H'nry.  I promise you."

H'nry nodded, "I believe you."

H'nry and Retala walked from Ophelia's room and out of the Med Center in 
silence.  The mid-day sun was high in the sky as they walked past the 
first flowers of spring toward the warren.

H'nry broke the silence, "So, I suppose this means that you'll be looking 
for someone else to replace you as Alpha wingleader.  Ga'brin would be an 
excellent choice."

Retala stopped, and H'nry stopped with her, "I still have hope for you," 
she said, "You have to learn some control.  Your loyalty to your fellows 
is fierce, and an excellent trait, but it needs to be tempered with 
discipline."

"And you think that you can teach me that discipline?"

"I'll have lots of time to try.  Between helping the citizens of Raisa 
and helping Kay, you and I are going to be spending a lot of time 
together."

"Do you think we'll be able to clear Kay's name?" H'nry asked sobered by 
the though of his friend's imprisonment.

Retala's face took on a determined expression, "I have no intention of 
loosing."

That it might be the last battle Retala would fight went unspoken.

"I'm going to go see Kay.  No sense in him worrying about what happened 
to us.  Care to join me?" H'nry asked.

"Sure," Retala replied glad for the chance to be with him.

NRPG:
Lyn: Any ideas about community service?  I was thinking about building a 
screw pump for a water distribution system.  Road paving.  Things like 
that.  As for H'nry and Retala, I am in favor of pursuing it.  How fast 
do you want to play through the week?  I could cover a day or two in one 
post if you'd like.

Kris: I stopped there to give you the chance to describe the dungeon.
