Uh...hi.

[ An American accent, a little Southern in its inflection, with a hesitance like she's not used to talking into a device and getting a response back. (It's been a few years.) ]

I was wondering--how did you pick your division? I'm in quarantine for a couple weeks, but [ wryly ] it sounds like I gotta get a job eventually.

Yes - desertion from our forces, providing support and succor to the enemy.

[littlemissfutility]

Seems like a pretty bad idea in the middle of a war.

[bouchonne]

I don't disagree. But: no heart-daggers.

[littlemissfutility]

Good to know. Thanks.

[bouchonne]

[ A moment, and then, genuinely, with a bit of restrained and almost awkward kindness: ]

We will not treat you with malice. And if any does, you need but report it, and action will be taken. You're no less entitled to protection for not being of this place.

[littlemissfutility]

...Thanks. Really.

If I go with Diplomacy, I'll tell you.

[bouchonne]

I should be honored if you do, and shall look forward to working together in a different capacity if you do not.
