Redsand Canyon hactenus

The offer fell and her eyes widened slightly, not expecting such an offer to fall. She had never spoken of fighting, the only mention of any such foreknowledge had been her comment about the strategic defense of such a narrow passage entering the canyon but even that in her mind had not been much. Her maw parted for a second as she considered her words, and she listened as he explained that she did not have to take it. “I am honored by the offer, Imperator, but I must admit I am hesitant to make such a decision.” She started politely.
 
“I come from a pack where women were believed to be more apt with healing, the fighting left to the men… I’ve practiced strategy but that was because I shadowed my father often in case of fallen soldiers… I’ve never learned how to fight, not in the truest sense, anyway.” It would be a lot of work, work she was not certain he would want to invest when she was already trained as a healer, and so the decision turned back to him. She wasn't sure she was capable of harming another when it came down to it, but perhaps that was just the way she had been raised.
