So the Captain was dead after all. Her gut had led her to the right answer once again, albeit a grim one this time. Placing her veil to the side for the moment, Margaret brushed back a stray lock of her hair, letting out a disappointed sigh. Should she feign surprise? No, that wouldn't be the right thing to do. Still, it was hard to admit the grave fact of the matter. Life was cruel, a soldier dying to illness. Where was the honor in that? No one spoke of men who died to disease, they spoke of those who died in battle with glory behind them.

Realizing she had been quiet for far too long, she would simply stand in response to Branimir's words, her finger to her lips for a moment as she searched her bag, rustling through her possessions. After pushing aside several medical journals and a few of her own notes, she pulled out her religious text, lightly brushing it off, though the gesture was more for show than anything else. Looking at her finger, she wondered if the captain's death would be the only bad news she would receive today.

"I pricked my finger trying to fix my veil," Margaret stated, hoping he would appreciate the irony. "I've sewn since I was a child. Almost twenty-five years, and here I slip up." She mumbled, somewhat annoyed.

Ah, that wouldn't do. A woman such as herself needn't be concerned with such a trivial thing. Patience, patience. "As for the captain...it would have been nice if he made it through the night, though he would have likely continued to suffer," She resigned herself to her more pessimistic thoughts, optimism flying out the tent by now. Dead bodies weren't foreign to her, but it was unpleasant as always. Taking her veil in hand, she spotted the half-sewn hole, and shook her head. How embarrassing. But leaving the tent without it would probably raise a few eyebrows she wouldn't appreciate. Lingering for a moment, she realized that once again, she had been quiet. "Do not grieve for long, he is in the Lord's hands now," She told Branimir as she walked up to him. "Let us go together, then."
