Lenore certainly learns a new piece of information about the place they just invaded--they did not pay their workers, or at least not this one, and she had never been valued or recompensed. Which gave Lenore a whole new set of tools to work with.
"Well, you are kind of cute now that we've cleaned you up," Lenore comments, bending forward at the waist to look closer at her face, head tilted a little with consideration. "And the biceps are very impressive."
Straightening up again, Lenore consider what would be 'properly utilizing' a warrior like this one. "What position would you suggest? I've not gotten the impression that you're any kind of tactician, though perhaps you could learn the skill, so you're not suited for being a general. Grunt soldiers need the ability to fall in line, and I have some doubts as to whether you could learn that skill. From what I heard about the battle, I'm extrapolating that you're best one on one, or in a chaotic melee. In my mind, then, that means you're best shown off in arranged duels and sparring, or in an emergency situation. Which makes me want you by my side all the more. Suppose I go to visit a neighboring and they're bragging about their greatest warrior and I suggest a show of their greatest warrior against mine. And if I am attacked, inside the castle or out visiting, that's likely to be a chaotic emergency situation. Where you'd potentially shine."
She tips her head again, watching her pet with interest to gauge whether she's painted an appealing enough picture or whether she'll be learning about some other abilities that might be on offer.
