[ He settles a hand on her shoulder, squeezing gently. ]
Do you have hope to see the end of it soon?
no subject

Though sometimes it does come down to brute force. Are you a user of magic?
no subject

[ Still, she... doesn't trust this. ]
Do all soldiers know how to fashion weapons, then? Admittedly, that was never a skill I picked up.

no subject
[ She's a Caster, please. ]
I'm just a doctor, not anything as amazing as a hero.

The reality is more bleak, but I think adding a little poetry isn't so bad.
