There was really nothing to say to that, was there? Atiyeh had been one of the finest Princes Mina had ever served under. He had been firm, but fair. Trusted everyone until they gave him a reason to doubt them. That was a rare quality. One that had given her reason and cause to trust him, even when his judgment seemed questionable (such as when he named her primogen, for one). And now...now he was apparently less than perfect. Well, all right, no one was perfect. But lighting the city on fire? Really?
"I see," she said finally. "And...I apologize for my defensive outburst. I didn't realize...all the facts."
Mina was fairly certain she was on the verge of tears.
