0. Hey there, Petra. Off to train? I'll join you!
1. That would give me much joy. An opponent [cdb]with toughness will keep me upon my toes.
2. You mean me? Nah, you're way tougher than I am.
3. Also, aren't you a queen now? I didn't realize dawn- [cdb]to-dusk training was part of the Brigid royal regimen.
4. I have not become queen yet. But there is an [cdb]understanding that it will happen.
5. And yes, in Brigid, royalty must have knowledge of [cdb]fighting. I mean...we must know how to fight.
6. To be leading our people, a ruler must have more [cdb]strength than any other. They must be the hardest [cdb]to kill.
7. My people are expecting this of me.
8. So it's the toughest person calling the shots, huh? I love it! What could possibly go wrong?
9. This is how it is meant to be working. But such things [cdb]do not always go with smoothness.
10. Mercenaries are always seeking strength too, [cdb]correct?
11. Admit she's right.
12. Deny her claim.
13. That's true. A merc lives and dies by the sword.
14. If you're not better than the next opponent you face, [cdb]they'll be the last one you face.
15. I guess I feel that way, but I dunno that it's really true [cdb]for every merc.
16. After all, chasing after the toughest opponents is a [cdb]great way to end up in the ground.
17. Like you said, you wanna be the hardest person to [cdb]kill, not the first one running headlong into danger.
18. Yes, dying is without productivity. But it gives me [cdb]surprise that you do not avoid jobs of danger.
19. A queen must be facing any wolf who comes to her [cdb]door, but you can have pickiness when selecting [cdb]fights.
20. Depends on how much food you can put on the table [cdb]that week. Most of us mercs barely scrape by hand to [cdb]mouth.
21. End of the day, it's just business. Some mercs will take [cdb]the coin and blow town, and some employers are [cdb]more than happy to hang us all out to dry.
22. I guess you don't have a lot of sellswords in Brigid, huh?
23. Correct. We do not require the selling of swords.
24. In Brigid, everyone is a hunter. Everyone is a fisher. Everyone is a warrior. There is no need to be hiring [cdb]or to be hired.
25. Express your admiration for that life.
26. Play the skeptic.
27. That sounds incredible. In a place like that, nobody'd [cdb]have to risk their life just to get a bite to eat.
28. Your words give me great happiness. I will always [cdb]be full of pride for Brigid.
29. So I guess even your farmers and carpenters can [cdb]cut down twenty guys in a single stroke, huh?
30. You have it correct. Do not mess with a Brigid [cdb]farmer and her spade!
31. Wait, seriously? You can do that with a spade? I mean, a tough farmer I can see, but... You know [cdb]what? Never mind.
