while death doesn't occur on every patrol or with every instance of combat its prevalent enough in the guard's profession that more often than not a soldier will die or be forced into withdrawing rather than reaching an age where they can comfortably retire. while people don't die every day death is always present in their line of work, from injuries sustained on duty to what may seem more like massacres.

#i pretend i dont like writing angst but when i get the chance to write death its like ohohoh :)#im thinking on this ask im gonna write for luna later and im committing all my spoons to it bc its going to be angsty.#but #the soldiers often choose to stay together at the barracks for sleeping versus actually consistently being at home bc most of the time #atleast one of them will sit vigil while the others rest #and even then the rest is never proper or full it's always short durations of sleep that #is then interrupted #most of them are so used to hearing other's scream or cry out when they wake up that it's #just another day at work for them now #which is sad #ooc.
