And not because she’s weak, or some sort of damsel in distress”, He said, hurriedly correcting what could have been a misconceived insult. “She’s rarely in the field. She has little to no formal military training whatsoever. She’s a fantastic doctor, and an amazing dragon... but she’s no warrior.”

I’ve been taught how to fight by the Queen’s royal guards since I was three years old!”. Mind began pacing.

“Or maybe she’s comparing herself to Innocence. But even still, Innocence is the acting general of the Silkwing army! Surely Celestial can use enough logic to know that she shouldn’t compare herself to either of us when it comes to matters such as danger and risk.”
