Hey, where's Arval? It's not like you to hide, buddy.

Also, it feels like there's something different about

Well, this is new. Do you need something?
How strange to find our roles reversed.
Wait. You didn't bring me here?
Wait. You didn't bring me here?
I most certainly did not. I can only assume you came
[cdb]here of your own accord.
Perhaps our bond as partners in destiny is finally
[cdb]coming to fruition...
Sure, whatever you say. But if you don't need
[cdb]anything, I'm outta here.

Of course, of course! But how do you intend to
[cdb]leave this place, exactly?
You've never come here on your own before—not in
[cdb]all the years we've been together—so this is somewhat
[cdb]uncharted territory for me.
But since I wasn't the one to bring you here,
I fear I lack the ability to let you leave.
You're kidding, right?
You're kidding, right?
I'm most certainly not.
Oh, for the love of...
Oh, for the love of...
Well then! Since you seem to be stuck here for now,
[cdb]how do you intend to pass the time?
Take a nap.
Get some training in.
Sleep, I guess. What else can I do?
Sleep, I guess. What else can I do?
Hm.
A fitting choice, yes—though I imagine you'll have
[cdb]some very interesting dreams in the process.
I dunno, swing a sword around? Might as well
[cdb]improve myself while I'm here.

Hm.
And where exactly do you intend to procure said
[cdb]sword? My mind isn't some magical dream world
[cdb]where you can simply manifest whatever you like.
Oh, right. Guess I'll just take a nap, then.

Interesting how?
Interesting how?
Nemesis has retreated, Lord Epimenides. We would
[cdb]be wise to do the same.
Go. I will hold the enemy at bay.
Worthless beast though he may be, Nemesis is our ally
[cdb]for now. We cannot abandon him.
His is a useful sort of madness—we should be certain
[cdb]to wring all we can from him before we discard him.
An intriguing proposal, yes. Now go.
I will protect you all, in my own way.
I should be off. The time has come to destroy the
[cdb]wretches who would threaten this world!
