Now then, I'd like to hear opinions on the proposed tactics.
link Dimitri volume_up
Personally, I believe it best to gather our forces and attack the stronghold directly, but—
link Felix volume_up
Ha! Of course the boar wants to rush in headlong. Using a small force to take out the enemy's base of operations is a far better idea.

...
link Felix volume_up
Do you have something to say, or are you just going to stand there glaring at me?
link Dedue volume_up
I have nothing to add, no.
link Felix volume_up
So you're saying you have no thoughts on it whatsoever? You don't even agree or disagree— just purely, blissfully neutral.
link Dimitri volume_up
Enough, Felix. Leave Dedue be and tell me more about this idea of yours.
link Felix volume_up
We don't need to kick down the front door here. Sneaking in with a small force and burning their food stores will be more than enough.
link Dimitri volume_up
Interesting. We'd miss a chance to loot their supplies, but it would free up our main force for other matters.
link Dimitri volume_up
Still, it won't be easy to slip past their patrols. I'd best take my personal troops and—
link Felix volume_up
Allow me to take on the role. I trust that'll be satisfactory.
link Dedue volume_up
Heh.
link Dimitri volume_up
Right then. Now that we've solidified our strategy, let's break for a bit.
link Felix volume_up
OK, what is your problem? You've been giving me that look ever since we came in here. You clearly have something on your mind, so spit it out.
link Dedue volume_up
It's good to have you with us.
link Felix volume_up
Huh?
link Dedue volume_up
Few can debate His Majesty without hesitation or ill intent.
link Dedue volume_up
Our war council proceeded smoothly as a result.
link Felix volume_up
You make me sound like some kind of troublemaker. I don't disagree just for the thrill of it, you know.
link Dedue volume_up
You don't say.
link Felix volume_up
Dimitri's always had a reckless streak. Who knows what kind of mess he'd drag us into if someone wasn't around to stop him.
link Felix volume_up
The guy would gladly throw his life away for someone else given half the chance.
link Dedue volume_up
You have a point.
link Felix volume_up
His death would mean the destruction of both Faerghus and the church.
link Felix volume_up
So when I try to protect him, what I'm really doing is protecting the Kingdom.
link Dedue volume_up
Spoken like the Shield of Faerghus.
link Felix volume_up
What's with the smile? I told you, if you've got something to say, just say it!
link Dedue volume_up
I know you spoke up for my sake as well.
link Dedue volume_up
I'm grateful for it.
link Felix volume_up
Yeah, well, just doing what's expected. I mean, we're...you know. Brothers in arms and all that.
link Dimitri volume_up
Apologies for the wait. I trust we're ready to reconvene?
link Dimitri volume_up
You two seemed to be having a lively discussion. May I ask what it was about?
link Dedue volume_up
Of course, Your Majesty. Felix was just saying—
link Felix volume_up
I was saying how much of a fool you are. Now come, we have more important things to discuss.
