"It isn't about what I've done."At this Geoffrey cocked his head slightly, but as Artur began to explain, the boy's gaze dropped to the ground. His expression was pensive, if a little broody, and he didn't lift his head until Artur had finished speaking.
Though Artur may have been anticipated a protest, Geoffrey didn't disagree. Since their mother's death the Aurielle's failings as a leader had been all too apparent. He hadn't realized just how much she'd done for them. And Artur was right. Geoffrey wanted to be a healer someday but he was already a yearling and had no training whatsoever. Though she had done her best to prepare them, that had been a skill his mother had been unable to teach him.
Geoffrey didn't particularly like the idea of angering Aurielle, but he was angry and frustrated enough to set aside his misgivings and hear what his brother had to say. He owed it to himself and his family to live up to his potential and if that meant looking elsewhere for the training he needed that was how it was going to have to be, wasn't it?
He swallowed, then said quietly, "I agree. It's not right. Our rank is 'Promise' like we're promising young things who will one day become great whatever-we-want-to-be's for Valhalla, but we can't do that, can we, if Valhalla ignores us." That statement brought to mind the uncomfortable thought that perhaps Valhalla wasn't the place for them anymore. It was the only home he'd ever known and he couldn't imagine being anywhere else. "What do you have in mind?"
