Ishmel sat there for a few moments as he watched De'Ville leave. Blast that woman... All this had best be worth it in the end. He'd be at the bloody spaceport in one bloody week from now at bloody dawn.

And she wouldn't even bother with training him? Fine. He'd go find some wretches to stomp or something. He felt like it was about time to go mutilate something again. Wonder if he would get a chance to run into Salvestro now that she mentioned it... Blasting that little smart aleck in the face would be very stress relieving right now...

Ishmel was up at his feet in a moment, newly inspired to continue on now with a new goal for the remaining week. He smiled and then spit, leaving in a hurry without a word to the librarian.
