I'm not the only one
Who finds it hard to understand
That Morgan appeared to recognise Mallorie was at least mildly assuring. Mallorie nodded at her and did her best to appear personable. At Morgan’s query she allowed the faintest trace of a smile to twitch at her lips.
“Among other things,” Mallorie acceded, before continuing, “I also wanted to thank you for your help. I’ve learned not many outlanders are so fortunate here.”
She thought of bodies out there in the snow, and of starving to death on a street corner. Just how lucky she’d been to meet Morgan in the tundra wasn’t lost on her. And now...she supposed she should put that luck to use.
“I seem to have arrived at the wrong time.” She said solemnly. “But I also seem to have been brought to a place my abilities can help. So…”
Mallorie gestured at the forms and the equipment in lieu of explanation, some small part of her wondering faintly if signing the registration form was signing her death warrant. Not that it mattered much - it was the right thing to do, whether she met the previous guards’ fate or not.
“Sign me up, Captain.”
