In his heart, he knew Zaria would have anted that, and that's all he needed.

In Steady's mind, it was troubling to him, and that's why they were there today. Before he could bring up the subject, she did, asking if he could teach her more about the ranks. It gave him an inkling that she understood why she was here today. He nodded. I'd be happy to teach you, he said, a smile playing on his maw.
