Someone might decide it would be nice if it became real... and you'd find yourself with a new job." Whether he wanted to or not. Sometimes the stars listened when they shouldn't, and granted miracles when they weren't needed.
Pushing pieces of paper around the table with a finger, Seren tried to shake the sudden feeling of unease that wanted to settle in her core. "You don't... actually want that, do you? Picking sides, and fighting...?" No doubt a time would come when either party would welcome new blood with open arms, if they were able to hold a sword.
