Her fingers relaxed, and the girl paused for a moment, lost in thought, but then certain words triggered her, causing her to bite Gia on the cheek again.

-- What, what? ) We had a conscienceless doctor-killer in our team, a lover of jumping off roofs, is that what you mean? Is that your level of gratitude to the one who put you back together piece by piece? You shouldn't say such things anymore.
- Ah-ah-ah, that's not what I meant! I just didn't express myself well!😅🥺 Okay, okay.
"To be fair, she didn't put you back together piece by piece, by the way. And besides, you were the one who brought her up first."

The girl let go of Gia and put her hands on her hips.
-- In general, I wouldn't even think that such an oath has anything to do with military actions. You know, there are a lot of words omitted, and if you interpret it literally, it turns out that you can't even eat meat, because it was alive and running around, so you have to value life. Obviously, that's not what it's about. The harm caused to the enemy in war is rarely called "intentional" and is more related to war crimes: killing civilians, prisoners, using weapons that unnecessarily inflict extra injuries... In other cases, your harm is not intentional, but necessary. You can't hold back, because otherwise you will inflict real intentional harm on your allies... For me, that's exactly how it looks: by giving the enemy an advantage, you are killing your own. It's not about not killing, no, you, as a warrior, must choose who exactly you will kill, and in my opinion, that choice is obvious.
- I've thought about it, and if it comes down to life and death, I won't hesitate. Nevertheless, enemies are also people and deserve to be treated humanely when appropriate. Who knows, maybe after showing mercy, not all of them will remain our enemies.
- As one great doctor said, "They are armed, I am not, so the moral high ground is on my side."
- Well said. And who was that doctor?
- I have no idea, I just heard that some doctor said that, who, strangely enough, later saved the world. Maybe you will be like that too.

-- Not to mention that, no offense, but it all sounds a bit... Ambiguous, even if your side is guaranteed to win. I mean, while your friends are killing someone, you'll just stand there and judge, and you won't be involved, your hands will be clean?
- I am primarily responsible for myself and my own actions, I do not judge or justify anyone. The gods gave people free will precisely so that everyone can decide for themselves how they will act. You did not commit to respecting human life, and I have no problem with that.

Another thoughtful look at Gia, then at Beata, and she waved her hand.

-- In principle, if you want to incapacitate the enemy non-lethally, then this is a useful skill. I can imagine combat situations where it would backfire on us, but overall it's useful, we can take prisoners. However, I don't know how best to achieve this: in my opinion, you should learn it yourself. A medical textbook? Maybe it will help, yes. Some kind of magic gloves from me? Well, while we were talking, I had an idea of how to make ones that would cauterize wounds, making them non-lethal... But I'm not a doctor, until I create and test them, we can't be sure that it will work. You can try to find such a specialist somewhere in the city and ask him to teach you. Maybe among the guards? It's literally their job to capture criminals in such a way that there is someone to interrogate without the help of a necromancer. Of course, it is not a fact that even if you find such a person, he will agree to be a mentor just like that, it is highly unlikely.

-- These are my thoughts.
At the words about the guards, Beata burst out laughing hysterically.
- I don't recommend it, they're a lost cause, these guys pull out their swords in any unclear situation and try to spill guts, don't ask me how I know.
- I could probably talk to Ayano... But the problem is that she disappears somewhere again. I think she would help me.
- Oh, that elusive priestess. I'll start getting jealous of her soon.
- I would gladly introduce you, but it's not working out. But I think it makes sense to ask around. However, I think that some equipment will be easier, I can put it on and take it off at my discretion.
А, вот почему.
