Sorry I dragged you into this. Or I guess you dragged yourselves. Either way, it's good you were there.
link Leonie volume_up
Oh, I don't know. I think you could've handled them pretty easily on your own.
link Shamir volume_up
Their aim was to overwhelm me with sheer numbers and wear me down.
link Shamir volume_up
Against a force that large? It's entirely possible I could've lost.
link Leonie volume_up
Throwing so many men and women out there as cannon fodder is a horrific strategy.
link Shamir volume_up
They'd have found fame and glory if it had worked— and it's not like the dead can complain.
link Shamir volume_up
Besides, the more of your comrades who die, the bigger your share of the reward. Pretty good deal if you're left standing when the dust settles.
link Leonie volume_up
Speaking of comrades, it seemed like some of our enemies knew you.
link Shez volume_up
Yeah, we definitely fought before.
link Shez volume_up
Yeah, we definitely fought before.

But it was a long time ago, and I don't remember doing anything that would make it so personal.

link Shamir volume_up
Not unusual in this line of work.
link Shamir volume_up
The longer you do this, the more grudges you earn— whether you remember them or not.
link Shamir volume_up
You've been a merc for a long time, though. I assume that kind of stuff doesn't bother you anymore.
link Shez volume_up
Yeah, mostly.
link Shez volume_up
Yeah, mostly.

I try to stay detached, but every now and again something slips through.

I try to stay detached, but every now and again something slips through.
link Leonie volume_up
Ugh, I'm not so sure I could keep my emotions in check like that. I guess that shows how much further I still have to go.
link Leonie volume_up
But this means things with that noble who used to employ you are over now, right?
link Shamir volume_up
Hope so. But she's a tenacious one.
link Leonie volume_up
Oh, so it's a woman?
link Leonie volume_up
She must really want you back fighting for her.
link Shamir volume_up
Yeah, that's not the only thing she wants from me.
link Shamir volume_up
Let's just say it's a mess and leave it at that.
link Shamir volume_up
Just remember—if someone isn't interested, move on.
link Leonie volume_up
Interested in what? I don't understand.
link Shamir volume_up
Anyway, I'm gonna hit the hay. Thanks again.
link Leonie volume_up
Do you know what Shamir was talking about?
link Shez volume_up
Who knows? Could've been anything.
link Shez volume_up
Who knows? Could've been anything.
link Shez volume_up
You'll understand when you're older.
link Shez volume_up
You'll understand when you're older.
link Leonie volume_up
Well, now I'm really curious! I'll have to ask Shamir about it later.
