Today's battle wasn't half bad! Minus that close call, I guess.
link Balthus volume_up
I tell ya, when I charged ahead and saw all those archers waiting for me, a single thought flashed through my mind.
link Balthus volume_up
"Not how I'd like to go, but that's life, I guess." Phew! I was sure I was done for.

What are you talking about? It was so windy, there was no way they could've gotten a clean shot at you.
link Shez volume_up
You completely wiped them out. Are you telling me you didn't plan it that way?
link Balthus volume_up
I mean, I knew a breeze was blowing, but still.
link Shez volume_up
You're right—you would've been Balthus-sized target practice if the wind died down. But you bet your life that it wouldn't, right?
link Shez volume_up
That's something only you could pull off. I never would've taken those odds.
link Balthus volume_up
It was all Lady Luck, pal, pure and simple. Where is this coming from, anyway? I thought you hated all that gambling on life and death stuff.
link Shez volume_up
I did. But you're living proof that it can have a place on the battlefield.
link Shez volume_up
You roll the dice and get the job done. Can't argue with success. I have to accept that your way actually works.
link Shez volume_up
All I can do is hope you win your bets every time.
link Balthus volume_up
Hm.
link Balthus volume_up
Thanks for saying that, but what happened today wasn't calculated at all.
link Balthus volume_up
Things were going great, then I got carried away and made a stupid mistake.
link Balthus volume_up
It just so happened that the wind was blowing the right way. Otherwise, I'd be dead.
link Shez volume_up
You mean it was all just a coincidence? Well then, color me surprised.
link Shez volume_up
Quit pulling my leg. There's no way that was a coincidence.
link Balthus volume_up
It was a complete fluke, honest.
link Balthus volume_up
That's why I was gonna tell you I've learned my lesson. That I'm done gambling with my life.
link Shez volume_up
Really? That's the best idea you've ever had.
link Balthus volume_up
But since you admitted my way has merit, I think I'll keep rolling the dice.
link Balthus volume_up
I gotta do what works for me, you know? Can't let one close call make me lose my nerve.
link Shez volume_up
Wait, what? Isn't that what almost got you killed today?
link Shez volume_up
I take it back. You are definitely gonna die. Please stop.
link Balthus volume_up
Nope! Too late. A warrior doesn't go back on their word after all!
link Balthus volume_up
We might've had some misunderstandings along the way, but what's important is that you learned to accept me for who I am, right?
link Shez volume_up
In that case, what about you saying you weren't gonna bet your life on this stuff anymore?
link Shez volume_up
A warrior doesn't go back on their word, after all.
link Balthus volume_up
That doesn't count. I only said "I was gonna tell you!"
link Shez volume_up
Sure, whatever you say. Your logic is flawed, but it makes a tiny bit of sense.
link Balthus volume_up
I know, right? Ah, you're a good sport, pal.
link Balthus volume_up
If you still wanna grumble about it, we can hash things out later when we're celebrating our victory.
link Shez volume_up
What kind of backwards logic is that? You absolutely said it, so this whole "warrior code" thing applies to you too.
link Balthus volume_up
I don't have a clue what you mean. It's not even remotely the same.
link Balthus volume_up
Anyway, we can butt heads about it later. We gotta go celebrate our victory, right?
link Shez volume_up
Fine, I can live with that. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta talk some sense into you!
