You approach Mercedes’ tent, finding her polishing her armor while the rest of the camp is fast asleep. The glow of her campfire catches on her polished steel breastplate as she adjusts her cloak, her gaze settling on you—curious, yet measured her hand resting lightly on the pommel of her sword. She eventually clenches her jaw and continues, averting her gaze.
"You watch as though expecting something, soldier. Speak your mind, lest I think you mute."
