All right, that should do it. Sorry for pulling you into this, Sylvain.
link Sylvain volume_up
Hey, I'm the one who should be apologizing. I can't believe I didn't pick up on the fact we had spies in our midst.
link Yuri volume_up
Oh, I'm just especially attuned to sensing such people, what with my line of work and all.
link Yuri volume_up
They seemed quite adept, save for the fact they were just as poor at hiding their hostility as you.
link Sylvain volume_up
Or maybe you're just way too perceptive.
link Yuri volume_up
Merely years of practice, I assure you.
link Yuri volume_up
Still, I was surprised to see how eagerly you set about clearing those spies from our midst.
link Yuri volume_up
Never thought I'd meet someone who'd jump at an invitation to purge spies as readily as he would a lunch date with a pretty woman.
link Sylvain volume_up
Well, time is of the essence with this kind of stuff. And Dimitri surely won't mind that we only let him know after the fact.
link Sylvain volume_up
We have to win this war, and nothing loses a war faster than a leaky ship.
link Yuri volume_up
Yet even superior intelligence can be overturned by brute force.
link Yuri volume_up
Take Arianrhod, for example. I was so certain we had achieved total victory, and then...
link Sylvain volume_up
Yeah, that was a hard-won battle. We'd never have made it without my brother and the knights.
link Sylvain volume_up
Speaking of which, it's still a little weird to trust my back to a guy who was so recently trying to jam a sword into it.
link Yuri volume_up
I understand your qualms. In fact, I'm surprised you never hunted me down yourself to seek revenge for your brother's death.
link Sylvain volume_up
It's all water under the bridge if you joining helps us win this war.
link Sylvain volume_up
I just didn't know if I could trust you at first.
link Yuri volume_up
And now? Have I proven worthy of that trust?
link Sylvain volume_up
Certainly. Your perceptiveness really saved our tails this time.
link Sylvain volume_up
But don't forget that I'm sworn to protect this place— and you know exactly what'll happen if you decide to switch sides.
link Yuri volume_up
You're actually quite the loyalist beneath all that flippancy. I admire such sensibility, believe it or not.
link Yuri volume_up
But you may rest easy: I have no intentions of betraying you. In fact, I look forward to a lasting friendship with the future margrave.
link Sylvain volume_up
I'd like that. And I kind of appreciate how you see right through me. Saves me the trouble of trying to beat around the bush, you know?
link Yuri volume_up
Heh. It sounds as if we've forged a mutual respect. Perhaps I might even agree to go out with you sometime.
link Yuri volume_up
So long as you don't use any more of your awful pick-up lines from the first time we met. How did that one go again? Ah, yes.
link Yuri volume_up
"Hello there, my adorable little chickadee! Care to let this rooster into the henhouse?"
link Sylvain volume_up
Look, I already apologized for mistaking you for a girl, so you can quit bringing it up now.
link Yuri volume_up
And give up such an embarrassing tidbit on the next Margrave Gautier? Never!
link Yuri volume_up
Besides, I never asked you to apologize. You're not the first to make that error, nor will you be the last.
link Yuri volume_up
And frankly, a date with you would likely prove a very interesting experience.
link Yuri volume_up
There's no better way to secure one's future than by attaching oneself to a dashing margrave-to-be, after all.
link Sylvain volume_up
Whoa. You just put my chickadee line to shame. Is it weird that I'm kind of into it?
link Yuri volume_up
Take notes, Sylvain. This is how it's done.
link Sylvain volume_up
I think I'm at least starting to get how you've risen so far, so fast. I'm definitely glad you're on our side.
link Sylvain volume_up
Anyway, here's to seeing where the future takes us!
