1. Phew! I'm so stuffed I can barely move. That Holst [cdb]sure knows how to throw a party.
  2. That's for sure. The nobles would treat us to a meal [cdb]every now and then back when I was a merc...

  4. But it was never anything like this. Thanks for [cdb]arranging it, uh...Lord Future Leader.

  6. C'mon, don't call me that. We're just classmates.
  7. Actually, you know what? I take that back. We can do [cdb]better than "classmates."
  8. What do you mean?
  9. What do you mean?
  10. Once we're done with the Officers Academy, I was [cdb]thinking you might join me in Leicester for a while.
  11. I may have Riegan blood, but I grew up about as far [cdb]from nobility as you can get.
  12. I tend to get the full "who's this upstart" treatment [cdb]around Leicester so I could use someone reliable at [cdb]my side.
  13. You're hunting a band of mercenaries, right? Well, [cdb]maybe we can leverage my family's influence to track [cdb]them down.
  14. And then you can do...whatever it is you need to do.
  15. Seems like a solid offer. Better than staying pent up in [cdb]the academy, at any rate.
  16. Accept Claude's offer.
  17. Ask why he wants you.
  18. What I need to do is repay what's owed, and yours is [cdb]just the kind of offer I've been looking for.

  20. So I'm in. Thanks.
  21. So I'm in. Thanks.
  22. Why me? There are plenty of skilled students you [cdb]could choose from.

  24. Thought we'd been over this. I'm an outsider, and so [cdb]are you.
  25. That makes us two peas in the wrong pod—plus, [cdb]we work well together!
  26. In that case, I'm in. I need to find those mercenaries... and repay what's owed.

  28. Heh. Glad to have you.
