Zophiel steps forward, barely managing to contain her excitement enough to snap a crisp salute, but unable to contain her wide grin.
I'll be honest, this decision was more difficult than I thought it'd be. One the one hand, I've got several centuries of family history and my current employer weighing in for the Infantry. But I've got my own efforts at marksmanship weighing in for the archers. . . and that pretty recurve up in my bedroom . . .
But, all that said. . . when I was in high school, someone once asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. Tired of hearing that question all the time, I answered "A Knight!". I wasn't really joking, though, having been raised on tales of Arthur, Galahad, Gawain, Sts. Michael and George, and Jaques de Molay. Before my family was infantry, we were chevaliers, and I suppose I take after my ancestors that way.
For all those reasons, and more, I think my heart is most truly with the Cavalry!
Zophiel gratefully accepts RR Stripe as it is pinned to her uniform, proud to have started her time with the Band with such an accomplishment. Awesome!

Er, . . . I am puzzled as to why you are puzzled. Surprised that you seem surprised. . . The joust seemed rather straightfoward, and nothing in it to imply I wouldn't like being in the Cavs. . . unless, I misspelled Cavalry or something? . . .
