The already naturally pale midwife paled further at the implication of the first task. Healing and preventing death were her usual goals – killing being reserved for times of desperate defense and survival. But killing just to…to see? Her natural instinct was to revolt against it, to resist the task altogether. But…she knew Frey would not ask her to do something if she had nothing to learn from it. They asked her to do so because she needed to grow…and sometimes growing was uncomfortable. So she nodded slowly to their words, accepting that task, even if she wished not to.
The other two tasks? Well that would be simple enough (except maybe finding seeds in Halo, but surely something had to grow there.) ”Alright. I will see to it that these things are done. Thank you for your help.” she said, smiling at her chosen deity adoringly. Though they had set out quite the task for her, they didn’t need to either. That they were willing to help her get what she needed to further her research was a blessing in and of itself.
