What To Do on a Day Off?

"No, it doesn't, unless you like gambling games with dice and cards. But in view of what happened yesterday, and how protective the Captain is towards you, I'm not sure whether he would approve of my taking you well away from the camp for a second time."

"Then don't tell him. I don't see why he's so protective anyway. It's not as though he risks causing an international incident, since my own country has never even heard of Tirania, which must therefore be a very long way away. Besides, I imagine that back home they will all assume by now that I'm dead, as I've been gone for over a year."

"I suspect that the Captain would be as protective of any woman, whether foreign or Tiranian, high or low born. That's the way he is. As for not telling him:

1. "All right. He's told me often enough that he trusts my judgement and, in spite of what happened yesterday, I judge that the risk of encountering trouble is still very small."
2. "I can't do that. It would be a betrayal of his trust in me."
