1. Hey there, Shamir. What's a gal like you doing in a [cdb]place like this?
  2. Oh. It's you. What do you want?
  3. Nothing in particular. Just had some time to kill. Thought it'd be nice to chat.
  4. Shouldn't you and Holst be punching each other's abs [cdb]or something?
  5. Shouldn't you be off sparring with Catherine?
  6. Shouldn't you and Caspar be off punching things?
  7. Shouldn't you be off dripping sweat all over the [cdb]training grounds?
  8. That sounds nice and all, but...I've had my eye on you [cdb]for a while.
  9. Try anything funny, and you'll regret it.
  10. Whoa, take it easy, pal. I didn't mean it like that.
  11. I was just thinking the two of us have got a lot in [cdb]common, yeah?
  12. Nothing comes to mind.
  13. Hey now, let's not be too hasty.
  14. Take gambling, for instance. I happen to know [cdb]you like a little game of chance, and I fancy a [cdb]wager myself every now and again.
  15. Hmph. You can't call it gambling if all you do is lose.
  16. Sure, I've probably lost more than I've made. But hey, that's part of the fun, right?
  17. Keep telling yourself that.
  18. What about booze? From what I understand, [cdb]you're quite the drinker.
  19. But unlike you, I can actually hold my liquor.
  20. Hey, that was one time! Nobody drinks Balthus [cdb]under the table... Not unless I've lost a bet.
  21. You must lose often. I've seen you stumbling around [cdb]here quite a bit.
  22. All right, so gambling and booze are out. What about [cdb]fighting? The battlefield is where we both come alive, [cdb]yeah?
  23. My fighting style is nothing like yours.
  24. I can't argue with that. I like to get in real close [cdb]and crack some skulls, while you prefer to pick [cdb]off enemies from a safe distance.
  25. But even if our methods are different, the end result is [cdb]the same. It's kill or be killed out there.
  26. Huh. So you do see how we're different.
  27. Give me some credit, will ya? I might not be the best [cdb]drinker or gambler, but I am the Desirable King of Grappling.
  28. I can tell you're not looking for your fights to be [cdb]a bloodbath, unlike yours truly.
  29. Because I don't like dying. I prefer to be the one [cdb]doing the killing.
  30. That's why I use a bow. The only one who bleeds is [cdb]the enemy.
  31. Aren't you forgetting something? After gambling and [cdb]booze, you're supposed to ask me about women.
  32. Though I doubt our tastes are similar.
  33. Wait, what's that supposed to mean? Hey, Shamir! Where're you going?
  34. Huh, wonder what that was about.
