heading straight for the castle

"well now. that's quite the ambition" Desdemona stated as soon as Malleus was finished speaking. perhaps she would ask more about this fallen god when the time was right, if she was even accepted into their ranks. she enjoyed a little spice with her serving and if they were a zealot community, it would be amusing to stick around for a bit. see how their little empire faired and beat others to their submission. so they believed in conquest like Balerion. yet unlike Balerion, this ruler had people to rule and command.

the emperor quirked a brow at her, stating it was a better investment for an empire. she chuckled lightly. "especially if my immortal soul could be at risk with joining any old  garden variety pack" she smiled with some amusement, though her eyes were trained to be serious. Desdemona could care less about gods and souls, but if they were going to stir up some entertainment, she wanted to be there for it. "I am not a fighter, Emperor Malleus, though I can support your troops in other ways."

Desdemona felt it was best to be upfront with such things. "I can entertain your people with stories and inspire them with tales of conquest" she launched into her skillset immediately. time would tell if he accepted her for her meager trades. her focus was charisma, entertainment and storytelling. like any good woman, she was to support and do little in physical bouts. "I have some medical skills. though I could always use more training, and I am not averse to learning to fight for the good of your empire."

she supposed if the man needed troops, she would... reluctantly agree to it. "though my interest is clear; I would like to join Risen and bask in the glory of your victories."
