I'm not the only one
Who finds it hard to understand
It hadn’t taken long for Mallorie to become bored of sitting in her room, staring at the walls and wondering what she was supposed to do now. Her quest had come to an abrupt and unsatisfying end. She hadn’t felt so useless in years, and bereaved in many more. She’d toyed with the guard captain’s offer of employment and, the night of the explosion and attack, had regretted not taking it.
She might have died, but she would have died without regret, defending civilians. Now that things were settling down, her mind was made up.
The news that the guards had been depleted, combined with Morgan’s words and the notices, led her to the central square. Heart set and nerves only the slightest bit jangled; she felt remarkably like she was attending her first day at school.
That there were no people queuing up to sign up wasn’t a surprise - especially given recent events. Mallorie noted the displayed equipment with mild amusement, having seen the same tactic used to recruit guards in her old life before. She couldn’t help the tiniest tug of a smile as she approached the table where Morgan sat, and braced herself for human interaction.
She nodded at Morgan and stood to attention.
“Hello again, Captain.”
