It wouldn't stop you from aiding research where it makes sense, ( she notes, a tempered encouragement; diplomacy probably has the hardest job, but forces has the best one, if you pressed her to say, but all things being equal she doesn't seem inclined to outright lean a finger on the scales of someone else's choice.

push them to make one, yes. decide it for them ... not her style. )

I'm not completely sure Stark realised I wasn't actually in Research, ( is a bit ruminative, bittersweet fondness. did it matter, anyway. ) And like I said, I work in the infirmary when I'm available. Someone who can stock, dispense and defend the medical wagon in a battlefield situation is worth their weight in gold, besides.
