The new badge, clamoring to be touched by Anne, is for the senior healer, a new rank. It feels weird for her even to have it. She turned her gaze to his chief, doubting the good news.
"This feels… unreal, chief, I am sorry, but I need to ask you… Is this because of my achievement or something else?" She throws the question blatantly, trying to tell him with the utmost respect.
"Miss Anne, I have this in my drawer for a while now. This… badge was already meant for you after your contribution to the rebel case." Chief Hale was smiling, he feel her hesitation and knew how low esteem Anne can get sometimes. "Look, you're a very good healer, Anne. You maybe lack in magica, but your intuition and your empathy, not every healer have that."
She touched the badge, and feel the coldness of the steel. The badge feels heavy on her hand. Heavy from the responsibility that she needs to do.
