Personal note: While she doesn't have a psychologist anymore, her attitude has grown better. She has set quite a trend with that scene though.
I'm sure you know about Thorn's almost kill, and this event is probably the reason they completely ignore each other. Which is quite bizarre after having been witness to so many fights.
I know most of those flashbacks disappear after a year or two in safety and time to gain back their mental health, but I'm still worried. If she acts like this while on a mission, it could kill her.
Her temper has cooled down, which is quite a wonder. She isn't as quick to light anymore and is more levelheaded. She takes decisions using logic and not her emotions. Her usual strategies are all kind of risky in my lessons, though. She has the ability to make everyone work harder than they thought possible and she uses this principle when thinking of defeating the enemy.
I am worried about her family. The Freedom Fighters have moved their base and it is now closer to Jarran, her home-village. It wouldn't surprise me if it would turn into a so-called ghost town within months.
I know you have more than some influence and maybe you could make sure that soldiers are sent there.
Once again, this isn't my business so I won't press further, but this truly amazing woman has made me see that the situation in the Northern villages is now worse than ever.
Although she blames most of the deaths on the rebels she has voiced more than one complaint against the King, mostly about taxes and no protection while they are the ones who give us all our food. I have to agree, I'm afraid.
This said I don't believe there is anything more to discuss.
