Well, this is great.
link Shez volume_up
Having some trouble there, Jeralt?
link Jeralt volume_up
I wanted to replace the clasp on my gauntlet, but I can't quite get the blasted thing to stay.
link Shez volume_up
Here, let me try.
link Jeralt volume_up
Well look at that. You got a real knack for these things. Thanks, kid.
link Shez volume_up
I'm surprised you've survived this long with those ham hands.
link Jeralt volume_up
Being a good mercenary isn't all about dexterity, you know.
link Jeralt volume_up
Besides, when you've lived as long as I have, your body just doesn't work as well as it used to. Trust me.
link Shez volume_up
You don't look that old to me.
link Jeralt volume_up
You can't judge a book by its cover. I might not look it, but I'm practically an ancient tome.
link Jeralt volume_up
Not to mention I've lived pretty hard. Might just be a gut feeling, but...
link Jeralt volume_up
I've started feeling like the goddess might call me to her side before long.
link Shez volume_up
Come on, it's not like you're at death's door. Besides, you really think the goddess would be calling you of all people?
link Jeralt volume_up
You don't hold anything back, do you? If the goddess won't have me, then I'll just have to make do in hell.
link Shez volume_up
Do you think you'd have any regrets if you died right now?
link Jeralt volume_up
Not one. Except maybe living too long.
link Shez volume_up
What about leaving your kid behind?
link Jeralt volume_up
Can't say I wouldn't be worried. Especially because that kid isn't exactly normal.
link Shez volume_up
Yeah, that's a good way to put it...
link Shez volume_up
I've never seen a power like that before. Not even generals with Crests measure up.
link Jeralt volume_up
True. It's not like my training was all that rigorous either. But before I knew it, my kid had become the Ashen Demon.
link Shez volume_up
I gotta say, your kid's always real calm and aloof. Not one for emotion, huh?
link Jeralt volume_up
You're telling me. Born without so much as a peep, that one.
link Shez volume_up
Your kid sure likes to think out loud. Though, I guess I don't have room to talk...
link Jeralt volume_up
It's a weird habit. Almost like there's someone else there...
link Jeralt volume_up
Just a personal quirk, I guess. Makes it tough to find friends though.
link Jeralt volume_up
In that sense, I'm glad we're here. There's tons of young folks around.
link Jeralt volume_up
And maybe the kid'll take a shine to you, since you're both mercenaries.
link Shez volume_up
Who knows? I've been hoping we could talk more, at least.
link Jeralt volume_up
Is that so? I'm glad to hear you say that. Takes a load off my mind.
link Shez volume_up
Now you really sound like a dad.
link Jeralt volume_up
I was never much of a parent, but I do worry all the same.
link Jeralt volume_up
You know, I think we were meant to end up on the same side. Would you do me a favor and look after my kid?
link Shez volume_up
When you put it that way, it really does sound like you're about to die.
link Jeralt volume_up
Hey, it's possible. Tomorrow's never guaranteed in this line of work.
link Jeralt volume_up
I meant what I said. Can I count on you?
link Shez volume_up
Yeah, sure. I'm not gonna refuse a dying man's wish, after all.
