( That is something she had not considered. Herian sits quietly, crystal held loosely in her hand.
Perhaps Petrana would remember the expression she used to make when turning over difficult matters. It may be for the best that she cannot see her appearing so unmoved, now. )
My focus on past rank eclipsed a more corrosive concern. Rather than concern that resources are being directed to a former leader, it would establish that Riftwatch does not value the individual. That rank might, then, serve to make that all the worse - regardless of effort and dedication, all can be discarded if setting things to right is not convenient.
( Assuming she had not misunderstood. )
From that perspective, there seems to be only one viable option that supports morale in the long term. Morale cannot be neglected by pragmatism.
