[ Hilda is glad for the clarification. She wouldn't have known how to answer it otherwise if it were a serious one. Wars were not unique to her time, Fodlan or the wider universe and worlds that others came from, but living through one and reading about it (or sleeping through class and only recalling it passively like Hilda had) were two different things.
And despite knowing that there's some inevitability to war and fighting, appreciation sparks in Hilda's chest at the attempt at comfort and boost of confidence. It's not like they knew each other well at all. Sincerely she offers back - ]
You really don't have to. But if you really want to, we could start with names. [ Hilda has plenty of experience spinning away from unpleasant topics like war. Focusing on the here and now provides an easy pivot and she runs with it. There's a teasing light in eyes as she extends out a hand. ] I'm Hilda.
