I should think it wisest to always assume combat is a possibility, Princess.
[What a thing to ask a military general. Beatrix hasn't seen a real war herself, but she has certainly seen enough to know that it is very easy inside of a castle to lose track of the outside world. It is very convenient to be unaware or ill-informed. But that is part of why she and Steiner both have their positions.
Beatrix nods in reply to Garnet's suggestion, knowing very well it's likely where she would have begun as well without the input. Few things please her more than seeing Garnet be proactive, even if it is only in the art of conversation.
But all things within moderation, of course.]
Protect the ears, Your Highness. I doubt this will be a pleasant experience—for either the mandragora or for either of us.
[Beatrix rubs her hands together and it's with firm footing that she approaches their quarry in question. It's time to get down to business. She is expecting that once she should pull, there will likely come a screech which she must brace herself against.]
