"No sir," she replied, doing her best to stand at attention despite her exhaustion. "I'm infantry. An archer. I'd like to join the dragoons one day, though, Gods be willing."
"I expect to be assigned to defend the walls, if the fighting makes it this far. They...they aren't planning on sending my unit to the front lines." She tried to keep the disappointment from showing on her face. She hadn't spent so much time training just to sit behind the lines, waiting for a battle that might never come. Sure, if the city was attacked, they would need all the defenders they could get. But considering the magical barriers, there didn't seem to be much chance of the Ascended getting close enough to be a threat. She didn't want to spend the entire war hiding behind those barriers.
"I'd be happy to volunteer for any duty you might need a soldier for. If...if you might have need of me, that is."
