0. Are you even listening to me, Linhardt? I know what I saw!
1. Oh, I heard you the first time—I just think you [cdb]misunderstood what your eyes were telling you.
2. The guy didn't have a head! What could I possibly "misunderstand" about that?!
3. From a distance, many things could resemble the [cdb]indistinct shape of a headless torso.
4. It's irrational to assume it was a ghost. There must be [cdb]a simpler—and more scientific—explanation.
5. And you'll never convince me otherwise no matter [cdb]how much you howl, so best to just let it go.
6. You're being real stubborn about this.
7. You're being real stubborn about this.
8. Wouldn't it be easier to just mumble something about [cdb]how he might be right and move on?
9. Wouldn't it be easier to just mumble something about [cdb]how he might be right and move on?
10. A fair point. But you see...
11. Father? Well, this is unexpected.
12. You too, Father?! What're you doing here?
13. I had some matters to discuss with Her Majesty, [cdb]and prefer to do so in person.
14. And I came to consider the continued unrest in the [cdb]east of the Empire with the court.
15. And you thought it might be nice to pay your dear [cdb]sons a visit while you were in the area.
16. A sensible conclusion—death awaits around every [cdb]corner in these times. Each visit could be our last.
17. You are a fountain of positivity, my son.
18. We're not just here to bandy words—there's a fight [cdb]waiting for us, and the lot of you are going to help.
19. Uh, all of us?
20. Uh, all of us?
21. He can't possibly be counting me among those slated [cdb]to help...can he? Father?
22. I was against the idea. But as you might imagine, Count Bergliez would have none of it.
23. You know some of the former prime minister's rebel [cdb]sympathizers escaped, yes? Well, we've tracked them [cdb]down in a town near to here.
24. Leopold means to mount an attack and wipe them [cdb]out in one fell swoop.
25. With just us? I hope you have more troops on [cdb]the way.
26. Sorry, but this is all we've got—my army's engaging [cdb]the Kingdom on the western front, and Her Majesty's [cdb]forces are busy with preparations for the next battle.
27. Now come. We don't have much time.
28. Right, got it!
29. And what do you think will happen to us if we let the [cdb]two of them go it alone and they end up dead, hmm?
30. Oh, fine. As you said, it's not like we can talk the [cdb]count out of anything once he's set his mind to it.
31. And Caspar is just as bad—that apple is so close to [cdb]the tree it may as well be part of the roots themselves.
32. I assume we can count on you as well, friend?
33. It will be a hard battle, and I cannot vouch for our [cdb]safe return should you refuse.
34. Agree reluctantly.
35. Refuse to go.
36. Don't see how I can say no when you put it like that.
37. Don't see how I can say no when you put it like that.
38. You're just as bad as Count Bergliez, in your own [cdb]special way.
39. You're just as bad as Count Bergliez, in your own [cdb]special way.
40. Yeah, I dunno about this.
41. Yeah, I dunno about this.
42. Please, you must come. Do it for me, if nothing else.
43. My father is rarely wrong about these things. I fear Caspar and the count will need our help.
44. All right, fine. If you put it that way.
45. All right, fine. If you put it that way.
46. You appear to have a bond of mutual trust. Nicely done, son.
47. I'm not sure that's how I'd phrase it, but moving on. If we're going to do this thing, I suggest we move out [cdb]and do it already.
48. Yeah. If we don't hurry, Caspar and his dad'll be [cdb]drowning in bad guys before we even get our [cdb]boots laced.
49. Yeah. If we don't hurry, Caspar and his dad'll be [cdb]drowning in bad guys before we even get our [cdb]boots laced.
50. C'mon, we gotta catch up.
51. C'mon, we gotta catch up.
52. See? I knew I could rely on you.
53. Hrm...
54. I get the feeling this is going to be quite the bother [cdb]before it's all said and done.
