"I've heard that Demi Gods, if children, will grow quickly..." Gideon said, mostly to himself, as he looked her over in a new light; was she even younger than she appeared, a toddler in adult's clothing? He didn't ask, only because there was already a lot to take in here.
A wry smile appeared on his face as she confessed to not liking the 'hurting people' part of the job - in the years to come, she'd have to learn that was an uncomfortable truth of most things worth doing. "You could heal as a medic. We have some wonderful doctors here in the city that could train you, I'm sure - though we need all the soldiers we can get, if you can deal with...ha...hurting people." Not that the Ascended necessarily fit that definition, but unfortunately they had allies.
Gideon smiled more genuinely as he heard her thoughts; his ring did not allow him to look within himself. Whether or not she was telling the truth he had no idea, but the thought was nice. "Well. I serve because it is the right thing to do. Them liking me would be a pleasant side effect."

GIDEON
You claim to be virtuous, but you're a liar
And you'll feel the heat of the flames
And you'll feel the heat of the flames
