Darcy wasn’t so easily baited. He let her play her little game and waited her out patiently. He expected nothing less from a native whose country was literally being invaded by the very organization he worked for. Eskran women were known for their brash and fiery nature even without such circumstances.
“The Sargent who spoke of you wasn’t given a name,” he explained though it would do nothing to absolve him of his ignorance in her eyes. “Yet, he spoke very highly of you all the same.” It wasn’t not entirely false. Renly spoke very highly of her, just not necessarily of her technical ability.
It was more that he went on and on about the color of her hair and the shape of her mouth. Which in his objective opinion was nice enough. He observed the way her lips moved as she chattered at him about her skills and her history. He waited only she was finished. His expression resembling something like serene amusement.
“We’re doing what we can,” he replied, noncommittally. He finally removed his hands from his pockets to cross his arms over his chest. “We have our own medical staff working to accommodate the abysmal conditions of this country.” Darcy couldn’t resist a subtle jab of his own.
“Are you formally trained?” He asked, ignoring the inquiry of what she could do for him. In truth, nothing really. He was just being nosy and scouting out the object of his friends obsession. “Is there a magic college in Eskra?”

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
