1. Well, that was certainly an unexpected conclusion to [cdb]the whole Tomas saga!
  2. Thanks to his shape-shifting ability, he slipped free of [cdb]the knights and escaped.
  3. Shape-shifting...
  4. Shape-shifting...
  5. Yes, that's what I said. Also, I know what you want [cdb]to say next: "His powers are just like the ones you [cdb]gave me."
  6. Say it.
  7. Resist the urge and stay quiet.
  8. His powers are just like the ones you gave me.
  9. His powers are just like the ones you gave me.
  10. Are you in league with him, Arval? Where do these [cdb]powers come from?
  11. Are you in league with him, Arval? Where do these [cdb]powers come from?
  12. If I am in league with him, no one has informed me. All I have is you, my dear partner in destiny.
  13. Still, I saw what you saw. Clearly we don't have a [cdb]monopoly on shape-shifting.
  14. ...
  15. ...
  16. Don't feel like sharing, mmm?
  17. All the same, I saw what you saw. Clearly we don't [cdb]have a monopoly on shape-shifting.
  18. And now that everyone knows about Tomas, some of [cdb]them must've connected the dots back to me.
  19. And now that everyone knows about Tomas, some of [cdb]them must've connected the dots back to me.
  20. At least they've had the grace to keep it to [cdb]themselves.
  21. At least they've had the grace to keep it to [cdb]themselves.
  22. It's because they trust you.
  23. Hold on. Someone's coming.
  24. Ah, there you are.
  25. Something wrong?
  26. Something wrong?
  27. I must return to the Imperial capital soon for an [cdb]important matter.
  28. Will you join me? Most of the other Black Eagles are [cdb]coming.
  29. What's this about?
  30. What's this about?
  31. I fear I must keep that to myself until we're closer to [cdb]the capital.
  32. But I promise you this—there will be battle, and you [cdb]will have a chance to shine.
  33. Are you sure? I mean, these powers I have...
  34. Are you sure? I mean, these powers I have...
  35. Are like the ones Tomas used?
  36. Yes, that is a bit disquieting. Still, you've given me no [cdb]reason to mistrust you.
  37. You could have wrested yourself free of us from the [cdb]start, but instead you chose to stay here at the [cdb]monastery.
  38. You fought by our side and helped us save Monica. I think I can give you the benefit of the doubt.
  39. But here's my true proposal—if you accompany us, [cdb]there's a good chance you'll learn where your powers [cdb]come from.
  40. Ooo, now that is intriguing!
  41. In that case, I accept. Thanks.
  42. In that case, I accept. Thanks.
