And knowing my brother, he blames himself for not doing enough to clear her name ere time was up.
[She gives a tiny scoff, just a hint of a breath--not mockingly, but in that way of Siblings.]

When we were in the First, he had a plan to gain entrance to a guarded city--and when an eavesdropper tried to steal his designs, Alphinaud not only let him but explained to him the entire plan so he might be successful. I know not how many days of work he and our friend lost to that setback.
But that is who he is. I couldn't let him sit alone and brood through Nanaly's execution. Not if I could offer any amount of succor.
