[Welcome to DWRP, Lightning, where no one is remotely equipped for anything.]

I believe that would be for the best. I don't plan on being on the front lines if I can help it, but, well. [Her fingers wring against the knife.] Things happen that we can't always plan for.

But I really should introduce myself, to start with. [She briefly hesitates, unsure of any customs in a world like this, before she settles before a quick and shallow curtsy.] I'm Doctor Lisa Tepes.
