"Well." Her tone is thoughtful, trying to give the matter fair consideration. "I'm not sure how to ask for amends for a harm that's long since been wholly repaired. I don't even have scars. If this were my home, and you'd injured somebody that badly while on guard duty ..."
Her fingers tap gently on the countertop as she thinks it through. "I might rule that you should be dismissed from the guard position, and probably pay some kind of compensation to the victim, at least to cover the costs of a physician's care and any income lost. The former seems to have been taken care of, at least. The latter ... I don't know."
A long beat.
"Peace is simpler, I think. If you're not going to harm me and I'm not going to try to harm you."
