Janissary Diocletes,
There is nothing wrong with compassion. Samton was indeed moved by the woman's speech, signed her petition, gifted her dinar, and more. Now that he is Sergeant I have no doubt he will endeavor to follow through on his word.
Your request is one I shall weigh, but I would also encourage you to take pause. You've asked for a request, and insulted me, in the same sentence. That is a very unorthodox tactic in one seeking to get something.
That we of the seat of Legate, purposely influence and infringe "Pressure" upon one of the Accord Signatories, for a public apology for an event that occurred months ago and now would only be seen as some vague cynical gesture of softening the image of the Astronomers.
I ask you take this teachable moment to weigh what your duty entails, and what exactly you are asking. You, a Janissary of the Sultan's forth, who has many patrols to attend and many duties to consider. Taking the time away from such duties to write a letter, containing a privately kept file of your Garrison. To stoke internal conflict with the Accord. To the Rulers of this Settlement who have been named by the Sultan to keep peace between the Accord signatories..
I shall overlook the breach and not report your misstep in sending the file to us, to your superiors.
For that is the kind of leader I am, first and foremost.
A teacher.
