As the gang meets to determine how to deal with an impending visit from the new Hero Van, Yarandrala suggests Ruti simply get out of town for the duration of Van’s visit, accompanied by Red and Rit. Tisse suggests they head to the tourist destination of St Durant, whose Hero was a burly lumberjack who built 100 homes in one night.
While his muscular statue is silly, it’s not silly that this world now has to deal with a Hero like Van, who can’t spare a moment’s feeling for his fellow man, nor lift a finger to help them. He’s got his Blessing from Demis, and they have theirs, and he won’t deviate. Ruti is an example of how a previously brainwashed Hero can still contribute to the greater good while maintaining her humanity and allowing room for love of others.
Even though the trio is on vacation, they’re not going to walk past a young woman in pain. When he hears Kate’s symptoms, Red determines she’s suffering from poison acquired via a cut. He has Rit keep Kate comfortable with healing magic and Ruti rushes out into the rain to collect an herb he’ll need to make a medicine for her.
Once she’s gotten the herb to her brother, a soaked and muddy Ruti rushes right back out to get someone to see Kate home once she’s recovered. She returns with half the damn town; such is their gratitude for the trio’s efforts. Ruti also shows she’s able to get along with normal people and bring them together, even though she’s no longer the Hero.
Among the gifts the townsfolk bring is St. Durant’s secret recipe for Curry, which Red, Rit, and Ruti enjoy with bread and wine. Rit changes into a swimsuit while Ruti wears one of Red’s oversized shirts in order to get more into a vacation mood. Talk turns to Van and whether he’s left Zoltan yet, but Ruti knows they shouldn’t spend too much time on that subject but cherish every peaceful night they have together.
I’m hoping that line doesn’t portend some kind of conflict. For what it’s worth, Van doesn’t think much of Zoltan as it’s just a stepping stone on the way to the Airship (what a MacGuffin that’s become). When he snaps at a maid for bringing him more food (which he doesn’t really need), Theodora takes him outside for a time-out.
Theodora is the true hero for having to deal with an insufferable shit of a Hero, who doesn’t care about respecting or acknowledging the admiration or gratitude of the masses because he believes their only job, according to the teachings of Demis, is to die. It’s not just Van who’s trouble. Lavender is always on his shoulder telling him everything he says and does is right.
Ljubo, meanwhile seems to be using Van as a tool on their next quest to defeat a salt dragon and claim its treasure. Only Theodora seems to harbor any concern about how Van is developing as a person. He’s simply not the right kind of hero for a world of peace and happiness she fought for in Ruti’s party. He’s a hammer, meant only to drive a nail.
