You realize that, even though you are, in truth, one of al-Farid's mages, you probably shouldn't be letting on about that to everyone you meet. Magic is inherently untrusted, remember, and talking about your profession as a mage is the worst possible way to make friends. You're lucky it came out in an environment where the Captain is much-loved and unquestioned in her judgment.
