She just nods, not looking at him but keeping her gaze straight ahead.
"If i was unwilling to fight and die for the people, i would never have taken up arms for their cause. Even if my fate would be to die tommorow fighting for them, i would still man my ship and fight for them. Each is important to the whole, for if one cannot sacrifice for the people, then they are cowards."
Takes a breath, as a bead of sweat runs down from her temple, hoping her fight would not end here.
"It is through fighting for the people that i protect them and do what i can for them. So yes, i am willing to give my life for the people. If my life can save even one other, then i have no regrets should i perish in duty."
