Felix? What are you doing here?
link Felix volume_up
I had business in the capital. Speaking of, I hear you're that boar's knight now.
link Ashe volume_up
Boar... Oh, you mean His Majesty?
link Felix volume_up
Yeah. Him. You must have it rough with a tiresome man like that leading you.
link Ashe volume_up
I think you're exaggerating, Felix. I wouldn't call him that at all.
link Ashe volume_up
In fact, he even does our jobs for us sometimes!
link Ashe volume_up
Although he has been trying to rely on us a little more lately.
link Felix volume_up
See, that's exactly why he's such a problem. You should steal your job back from him once in a while. Use force if you have to.
link Ashe volume_up
Felix, are you...
link Felix volume_up
Anyway, the castle has certainly changed in the past...what, two years since he took over?
link Felix volume_up
For one thing, there are many more commoners among the knights.
link Ashe volume_up
You have a good eye to notice that! But yes, His Majesty says there are pros and cons to it.
link Ashe volume_up
For example, knights from noble families tend to be more polite and respectful.
link Ashe volume_up
There were a lot of scuffles and misunderstandings in the beginning, but things seem to be calming down now.
link Felix volume_up
And which are you, noble or commoner? You became a knight on Lord Lonato's recommendation, right?
link Ashe volume_up
Yeah, my situation is kind of...strange. I'm almost stuck right in the middle.
link Ashe volume_up
Still, I feel like there are things only I can do precisely because I don't fit into either box.
link Ashe volume_up
But whenever I'm in real trouble, His Majesty and Dedue always come to my aid, so that's good!
link Felix volume_up
Dedue as well, huh?
link Ashe volume_up
Yep. Even the knights accept him as one of us now.
link Ashe volume_up
No one's a better cook or more skilled with their hands. And he's a proper demon on the battlefield, to boot!
link Ashe volume_up
I hope to be more like him someday.
link Felix volume_up
Please, no. One of him is more than enough.
link Felix volume_up
Especially that blind loyalty. Imitate that and you'll only end up throwing away your life on the battlefield.
link Ashe volume_up
Aw, are you worried about us? That's sweet, Felix.
link Ashe volume_up
I always had the impression you cared for your friends, and now I know I'm right!
link Felix volume_up
Excuse me?
link Ashe volume_up
I mean, sure, the things you say are pretty harsh, but you can't bring yourself to actually abandon someone.
link Ashe volume_up
You always show so much concern for me, and for Dedue, and even for His Majesty!
link Felix volume_up
Yeah, well, it'd be more work for me if anything happened to you. That's all.
link Felix volume_up
I'm busy enough as it is. Can't afford to take on more issues.
link Ashe volume_up
Well then, I'll do my best not to add to your problems.
link Felix volume_up
I doubt you'll need to try that hard. You do a decent enough job of supporting folks already.
link Felix volume_up
So keep up the good work, and maybe I'll lend you a hand someday. You know, if you need it.
link Ashe volume_up
Thanks, Felix. I'll be counting on you.
