She shakes her head firmly. There's nothing uncertain about her answer there. She might have a higher calling than just the Inquisition, yeah, but there's absolutely nothing she's about to do to hurt the organization right now. And, honestly, she doesn't think that she'd be able to even do any real damage if she intended it.

So, firmly, she answers, "No." Then a firm nod. "Not to the Inquisition and not to myself. Not beyond...the normal scope of danger posed when someone thinks that there are things much more important than their personal safety."

Leliana listens, sips her wine, and nods. "Very well. If you are willing to report in the morning, we can commence some weapons training for you. I would not see you in the field without a means to defend yourself. if you are already... proficient then it would do well to assess your strengths and see where weaknesses might be turned to strengths."

It will be more complicated, of course, but small steps in the beginning. No good would come of hobbling Kitty before giving her a chance to walk at all.

"Does that sound agreeable?"

"Yeah. It does."

Kitty takes a breath, and then smiles a smile that's a little self-conscious - but a little eager, too. She ducks her head slightly to hide it. She knows that she's doing a service for Leliana. She knows she's volunteering to put her life on the line. But at the same time, she feels compelled to say, "Thanks. For being willing to trust me."

There is something in that thanks, the touch of earnestness to it which weighs on her heart. Each of her scouts lives a life of danger and risk, dedicating themselves to the Inquisition and Leliana's service. The decision is their own, but the responsibility for their safety and their well-being falls to her. She hopes against all odds that none of them come to regret their choice.

"Thank you for coming to me. I appreciate your initiative, and your interest." She raises her cup of wine, in a little toast, of sorts. "To your good health, Kitty."
