Vernique listens, and there's silence for a while.
"Hon, I'm not going to lie. Part of me thinks that sounds wonderful. Knowing that if something happened, you could just ask to fly over with some of the girls and do something, so you're not playing Atlas when we have a family emergency? I can't pretend I can't see the appeal. But I also made you a promise that I'd never let you embarrass yourself over me." Vernique's face falls. "I've got no doubt Aridis would agree to it for you. But... hey, I'm sure she's a great goddess of the hunt. But she's obviously never planned or wanted to be in charge in a crisis. And I know you, Svalin. The minute she gets overwhelmed, the minute she makes a less-than-perfect call because she's just not ready to handle that stuff, you're going to go out of your mind."
