”Good to know,” she says in reply, looking mildly pleased and surprised. Weaver can admit when she doesn’t know something, and certainly it’s possible Zariah’s been out and Weaver hasn’t seen her. Maybe Weaver’s only experiences with Zariah just happened to be particularly bad ones, given that they were off to a hell of a start. Zariah doing nothing obvious while everyone else scrambled to set up her school. Zariah watching her students nearly get impaled to death. You can’t really blame a girl for her bad first impression at this point, can you? ”Guess I missed you around. Clearly you found a better bar than the local tavern,” she says with a bit of amusement, an inside joke if you know the local tavern at all. The booze is piss and the place is dingy as hell and there wasn’t really anywhere else to go.
She is more pleased and surprised though that Zariah doesn’t continue to argue. Instead she asks what else she could do, and Weaver clearly gives the answer some thought before speaking. Because at the end of the day, despite Zariah’s reputation, she’d far rather end up on the same side than against. ”I am glad to know you have been out, and clearly I cannot expect you to be everywhere. Yet, all I know of you are rumors and hearsay. I’m not asking for your secrets, but let your students get to know you too. Show us what you can do. Show us a little of who you are. You will find that many Halovians do not trust on blind faith, and it is hard to follow someone you do not trust.”
