"Gentle is for people who got more time than me." Which is nicer than her normal classification of 'pussies' see she can totally do this diplomacy thing.
"Army's the only family I ever had." She says after a contemplative moment. She's always been a straight shooter, and of anyone, Alpha deserves to hear it straight. Fuck knows, everyone else lies to the kid probably. "They deserve better than this. Proles deserves better than this. And hell, Bifrons deserves to be better than this too. All men are devil horses, deep down. You give 'em too much power and don't keep the rein on 'em, they run wild and trample everything in their path. We used to be the rein.
"I mean for us to be that again. I ain't gonna be Victor for Bifrons. Fuck them. They killed too damn many of my friends by eatin' their hearts. But I'll be Victor for the militia."
She's there to draw the line. Shit was screwy before the militia basically became a private army. But it got a million times more screwy after from what she saw. She looks at Alpha.
"Time we took back our own, son. We go independent, we go back to the people, and we do what we always done. We serve."
Because it always comes back to that. You might put on the uniform because you want to play soldier and impress the girls, or in her case because she wanted steady pay and the squares a day. But you make it into your skin for over 40 years because it actually means something.
