Summary: Kalasin's Ordeal will soon be coming up.

“We need to discuss your Ordeal,” Wyldon states one day in late fall while they are waiting for a ferry to come around. “You should know that his majesty has offered to be the second knight to instruct you.”
“Did you turn him down?” Kalasin twists the reins in her hand anxiously.
“I told him I had already asked Gareth the Younger and he had accepted. To my knowledge your father will be instructing Queenscove with Lady Alanna, that poor boy- and you know I don’t say that often about Squire Nealan.” Wyldon shakes his head a touch ruefully.
“What about Kel? Has Lord Raoul found anyone to instruct her yet?”
“I believe it will be Turomot of Wellam. Raoul had indicated that when we saw them a week past when you and Squire Keladry were off talking by the woods.”
“Why him?” Kalasin asks. Uncle Gary instructing her, that feels deserved, that feels appropriate and right. He took her on at her parents’ bequest, even though he, like Raoul, hadn’t taken on a squire since the Douglass-and-Sacherell fiasco of years past, preferring not to take his chances.
“To ensure there will be no trickery,” Wyldon responds soberly. “Since I am with you, no one has any doubt that you have ever been witched to succeed- it would be a crime. With Keladry, there are still opportunities to be up in arms, starting from the scandal with Stone Mountain as you well know.”
“I can’t believe people are still on about that, the fools. Begging pardon, milord.”
“Different people go through different trials,” he says. “I will say that for myself, I believe you will pass. The Chamber will see what I have seen, and judge as I have judged.”
“Thank you,” Kalasin whispers, and scans the breadth in front of them. “I think I see the ferry coming now.”
“Indeed,” Wyldon says, and gestures for her to follow him on.
