Alisa looks at Brekke as if to confirm

A nod. "And often a personal victory can be dishonorable, if it comes at the cost of your people's welfare."

"Of course" She realizes "thank you, Chieftain. That's good advice"

Vali blinks as Brekke gets all the credit

Alisa then smiles "You too, Sir Vali. But they're right, it's funny acting like everythi you're saying was white noised while still secretly valuing it"

"heh" Vali sips then, a pause "Which whos are they?"

"I am not sure I understand."

"Snitches get stitches, sir." She says, then smiles at Brekke "My apologies, Chieftain, a jest of sorts. Which I didn't display well"

Her brow furrows, and she looks to Vali to see if he understands any better than she.

He smiles and says "I'm a teacher, there for no teenager wants to admit they were learning from me." A look at Alisa "Symon, or Sylvi?"

"Not telling, sir" She has a cookie

Then an ah-ha nod.

"What is Nadeen's story? If I may ask?" She inquires

"Oh, well... " And Vali and the Chief tell her a bit about a Varich sained here
