[ Honestly, this conversation has travelled to more places than Hermione has in the past three years of her remembered existence. She can't even muster up the indignation, she feels none.
The matter of Healer Strange is dropped, distracted by a shiny new topic.
Has she thought of a division? She never had the choice, in Hogwarts. The Sorting Hat put her in Gryffindor and that was that. And then the Merchant, or his favoured witch, designated roles and that was that.
She has been a seamstress (terrible), tax collector (bad), soldier on the front of a war or two, negotiator, spy, whatever the group needed. But throughout it all, never had she felt more capable than flinging incendios at the undead.
The first one in Thedas, fresh out of a Rift, had landed square in the centre of what she now knows was a despair demon. The relief that it kept working, despite the world, nearly made her weep. After the fight.
And it comes back to it, the question. ]
Someone told me I will need to choose. For when things get interesting, I know who I report to. I'm... I've become unfamiliar with having the choice.
[ She glances down at her hands, that have done so much. ] I have a few in mind. Wherever I'm more useful. [ She looks up, expression intense, ] When I join.
