"I do, yeah. That's part of why I'm talking to everyone now. As far as it's up to me, I'm not going to forbid anyone, but I just want to make sure everyone knows there are real costs and real risks, not only to themselves but to Riftwatch as a whole."

"Anyway. Sounds like I'm preaching to the choir, mainly. But since you've made your choice, standing offer that if anyone is a dick to you about your decision, send it up the chain to me.

But I'm kind of hoping not to revive dueling as a means of conflict resolution in Mme de Foncé's absence, you know?"
