Linhardt! Come on, this is no time to be snoozing!
link Linhardt volume_up
Really, Caspar? It's not even midday yet.
link Caspar volume_up
Uh, we're well into midday, Linhardt.
link Linhardt volume_up
Yes, but the warm rays of the sun and gentle cooling breeze have utterly enraptured me. So on that note, it's back to sleep.
link Caspar volume_up
I'm gonna rip that blanket right off you! Now get up, because I found something amazing!
link Linhardt volume_up
How many times in my life have I heard that from you only to find the truth considerably less engaging?
link Caspar volume_up
OK, first of all, not true, and second of all, this is way more amazing than all those other times.
link Linhardt volume_up
Mmm, I wonder. But very well. Astound me.
link Caspar volume_up
Look! Someone took down that gigantic bear!
link Linhardt volume_up
I'd rather not look, thank you. I've little interest in witnessing blood and gore so early in the day.
link Caspar volume_up
Oh, but it's already been cleaned and everything.
link Linhardt volume_up
Which means some open wounds will still be present, plus whatever blood was slopped about in the process.
link Caspar volume_up
Fine, then don't look at that part—just look at that terrifying face! I'd give anything to take out a monster like this.
link Linhardt volume_up
Then you should form a hunting party, set up traps, and proceed with your life's work.
link Caspar volume_up
No, I don't wanna hunt it—I wanna take it down! Bare-handed bear handling, you know?
link Linhardt volume_up
I understand your fixation, but in all of Fódlan...
link Caspar volume_up
Only my father could pull it off? Is that what you're gonna say? Hey, I'm not gonna be content being in his shadow forever!
link Linhardt volume_up
Rousing words, yet I seem to remember Count Bergliez was still in the academy when he brought down a bear and emerged unscathed.
link Linhardt volume_up
You're already older than he was then.
link Caspar volume_up
Don't care! It's not too late! I'm gonna beat a bear, then I'm gonna get armor made that's just like my old man's!
link Linhardt volume_up
You said the same when we were young, then decided to drag me along for the ride.
link Linhardt volume_up
You took me through hill and dale in search of one, which made an absolute mess of my clothes and hair.
link Linhardt volume_up
And I had to treat your wounds every time you hurt yourself. Though I did become quite adept at healing magic as a result.
link Caspar volume_up
So win-win, right? Plus, you helped me, which I very much appreciate.
link Linhardt volume_up
I suppose we'll call it a good thing and leave it at that. But perhaps a moratorium should be declared on such behavior for the time being.
link Linhardt volume_up
Yes, I think that would be best.
link Caspar volume_up
A more...uh...tor... Sorry, what now?
link Linhardt volume_up
Our focus should be on our enemies, not a bear.
link Linhardt volume_up
For this reason, I think it's best for you to put your dream on hold until the war is over.
link Linhardt volume_up
When peace reigns anew and we live in a world far better suited for free napping, I hope you can see your dream realized.
link Caspar volume_up
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
link Linhardt volume_up
Oh, and when that day does come, I will be happy to accompany you again. But for now, let's just focus on what is in front of us.
link Caspar volume_up
Put the bear brawl on hold, got it.
link Caspar volume_up
And hey, once I survive this war and get stronger, that bear'll be a pushover!
link Linhardt volume_up
That's not... Actually, yes. I suppose the possibility of that isn't zero.
link Linhardt volume_up
Let's survive this war so all of our wildest bear dreams can come true one day.
