"I..." Agnes showed an expression that indicated she never thought it would be easy to ask for help from a friend.
"I mean, if I were in the same predicament and asked for your help, wouldn't you help me?" he asked, trying to ease her worry.
"If it is within my power," she answered after a second thought. "But what I'm asking isn't so simple."
"That's the point, though," Warden cut in. "You haven't asked and decided on your own."
Agnes didn't refute his words. "It's not easy for me to ask something of you," she said after a while. "Ignoring the fact that I barely know you for like a month, I'm just not comfortable being accountable for others."
"I don't know how you lead an infantry with that mindset," Warden smirked. She was the captain of the 16th infantry, who was accountable—at least somewhat—for all the soldiers under her.
