Kiri glanced over everything to ensure that it was settled.
It’s time.
"Hold down the fort for me," she waved to the regiment leaders. "And have as much tea as you’d like, really. No slacking on your training!"

Kiri smiled, then to the witch hunters, she gave a deep respectful bow. She lingered slightly as she did, her heart pounding with the knowledge of what this actually was.
"Take care, all of you," she spoke, and she nodded again.
