"Ah..." The Inquisitor decided to move past the Empress' quip, instead considering her questions. "I've been a member of the Church for seven years now, Highness, being trained in my skills, though I did not formally become an Inquisitor until two years ago."<br/><br/>"I... never took well to physical combat..."

Um... I'm considered something of a prodigy, actually. That's, um, what they call me." A bashful blush crept up Valeria's cheeks "Ragic, for all his... antics, is quite capable of handling himself in a fight, though. I Lord Van Horsman and Cardinal Molnieux's consideration was that the Holy Order could use some reinforcement against assaults of demonic energy, and so I was sent instead of a more traditional warrior."
