It doesn’t make sense for her to antagonize me like this. I’m the Healer, for the gods’ sake. What if she’s injured in the next challenge and I decide to leave part of the job undone, to let her suffer or die? Or maybe she knows I wouldn’t do that. Maybe she and the others are counting on my healer’s vow to protect them. I suppose they’re right. I’m not sure I could find it in my heart to leave any of them in pain or danger when it was in my power to help. But everyone is a mountain, as the Ceannaire said—even me. Anyone can be pushed too far. Perhaps I need to remind them of that.
