I was assigned to hairdressing, a task to which I must confess I have not turned my focus. I have offered practical assistance in the apprehending of lawbreakers, but I must confess myself... lacking experience in the pursuit of employment, and in a realm where the title of paladin means little.
( A breath of laughter, if it can be called such, when it is barely audible. )
There were occasions where my duties as a knight of the Legion demanded that I acted in such roles. Oft the posting was a short one, or I was there in a secondary role to support one of my seniors, but I have held more than one extended posting of that sort. I have experience enough to serve in such a role, I believe - do you seek a guard, your Majesty?
You recall the shared dreaming, I hope. Most of which I would prefer to forget, but not all. Do you hold the belief that who we were in those dreams is who we are in the waking world, as well?
( There is a place on her arm where she'd expected to have an injury where she woke, but in reality there had been nothing. )
Rarely have I encountered so potent a magic as that. I know myself to be the same person that was in that dream. However, I would not be so quick to judge those whose minds were warped into Soldat. In mine own world there exists magics that can make the mind betray us, and wrestle our will and control away, with it being no weakness or proof of dishonour within those corrupted. The likes of those not so twisted, I feel as if I were privy to a window of perspective that may not have otherwise been made available to me.
( She pauses, then, exhaling before speaking. ) In the dreaming I was your loyal servant, and had deemed you brave and honourable, eager to protect as many as you could. I would not doubt those traits now we are waking.
I can't promise that my duties in this world are quite so noble. I allow my image to sell sparkly dresses to the wealthy so that I might acquire my own wealth, and walk among them. Some might say my efforts with charity are token at best, a means of improving more upon my image than any cause.
But I would hope that the dreams, if anything could be taken from them, might have proven to you otherwise.
Likewise, you've shown yourself to be loyal and brave, with a noble heart, who would keep my interests within it. So I'd like to offer you a job. [ Her voice upticks into something a little wry. Gainful employment. ] As a bodyguard, particularly when I'm travelling, attending events, and sometimes simply during the day to day to discourage the press from getting too close. Or if I'm meeting with those who I don't trust entirely, and I wish to show I have protection.
I can't promise excitement, all the time, but I can promise steady pay, and my trust.
It is all too easy to dismiss a good many things as dances of appeasement, styled to different audiences. Before the dreaming, though, I saw you move without fear into a building in a state of collapse to rescue those in need of aid, and with little concern for your own safety. This realm might limit the actions you take, your Majesty, but it does not compromise who you are.
( Usually she would need to think more, were such an offer placed before her. )
To swear personal protection to one alone is challenging, for the Paladin. We are to protect all those made victim, but neither are we meant to govern ourselves alone. Our code demands service.
( It would be a relief, almost, to answer to one authority. )
If you would have no objection to my blade and my magicks being, at times, directed to the service of punishing injustice, and protecting the vulnerable, then I would be honoured to accept the position.
[ Unseen, at the end of her line, Dany smiles to herself -- in a suppressed way, despite the emptiness of the room she's in -- as Herian speaks of That One adventure. Her assessment. It's nice to hear. ]
I have no objection, but I do have one condition. I would like to be kept appraised of...
[ How to put this delicately. ]
...well, should you run into difficulty, whether by the authorities who do not quite understand our notions of justice, or those who would stop you, I'd hear it from you first, ideally. Perhaps we can help one another.
You have my word. I answer to your authority; I will take every step to ensure I inflict no injury upon your reputation or your cause through word or action. I will be transparent in my dealings and their repercussions, as the code demands.
( Although, she has to exhale a very quiet breath. )
It is strange to make such claims over these devices. I hope the distance does not undermine my sincerity.

In your world, were you ever posted as a guardswoman? Not a city guard, but to nobility.
