Oh, Lorenz. I find the beauty of this place to be so relaxing, don't you?
linkLorenzvolume_up
Yes, I must wholeheartedly agree. It is marvelous.
linkLorenzvolume_up
As are you. Not only are you a knight of House Gloucester, you have even taken on the role of a general within this army.
linkLorenzvolume_up
To be honest, when first we met I could not see you as anything more than a mere merchant's child who happened to be gifted with a better eye than most.
linkIgnatzvolume_up
That's probably all I really looked like back then.
linkLorenzvolume_up
But now? You have grown so capable that I regularly mistake you for someone else entirely.
linkIgnatzvolume_up
That's nice of you to say, but I still have a long way to go before I'm where I want to be.
linkLorenzvolume_up
Do you remember your time working as a knight in my territory? Back before the war began.
linkLorenzvolume_up
Compared to then, you are practically brimming with life now. Especially as we march from locale to locale.
linkIgnatzvolume_up
You really think I'm that different?
linkLorenzvolume_up
I always thought you not fond of battle. Hence why I find this reversal so very puzzling.
linkLorenzvolume_up
I granted you a position as my knight because I thought it to your benefit...but I see now that your heart lay somewhere else entirely.
linkLorenzvolume_up
Hearing you talk about art with such passion, such fervor... It fills me with regret.
linkIgnatzvolume_up
Oh, you don't need to apologize.
linkIgnatzvolume_up
If anything, I should be thanking you, Lorenz.
linkLorenzvolume_up
You should? What have I done to earn your gratitude?
linkIgnatzvolume_up
When the Officers Academy shut down, I was lost, deprived of my purpose in life. But then you came and offered me the job as a knight.
linkIgnatzvolume_up
Everything I experienced in that role has given my life new color. One I don't think I could do without.
