"It depends on what they want. Some things are impossible to resolve because the instigator wants something that is too important to part with." Rosethorn frowns, rubbing at her forehead with thumb and index finger. "I won't lie to you and say I've never fought or killed. I do consider every battle I've participated in a necessary one, though."

"I only fight to save lives. I am never on the side of the aggressor, and I would support negotiation if the other party were willing." Part of her does cringe away from considering the Yanjingyi soldiers she killed on her way back to Gyongxe. They weren't actively attacking, not yet. They were blocking the border in preparation, and Rosethorn approached their post. She needed to, to warn Gyongxe of the impending attack, but it's the closest she's come to instigating battle and she hates it.
