0. Ah, fiery as ever! What an inspiring sight.
1. Oh, hey Ferdinand. You think so?
2. The way I see it, a mercenary who doesn't train every [cdb]day probably won't stay a merc for long.
3. Hmm. I cannot dispute your logic.
4. Though I must say, you never did strike me as a [cdb]typical mercenary. And your upward trajectory has [cdb]proven me right.
5. To go from nothing to a commander rivaling even [cdb]the finest of nobles as quickly as you have is [cdb]astounding. You are the most intriguing man.
6. Accept without protest.
7. Protest.
8. Well, that's because I've made a habit of giving my all.
9. I'm honestly just happy to have earned Edelgard's [cdb]respect.
10. "Intriguing"? Is that supposed to be a compliment?
11. I've just made a habit of giving my all.
12. Your all, you say?
13. Something wrong?
14. To the contrary! I find your attitude inspirational!
15. We are birds of a feather, you and I. Every task I [cdb]undertake must also be done to utmost perfection!
16. Polishing my armor? It shall have a mirror sheen! Cooking a meal? Let not even a single ingredient go [cdb]to waste!
17. True nobility means surmounting any challenge [cdb]before you with no less than every fiber of your being.
18. Uh, that's taking it a little far, don't you think? Maybe you're not wasting food, but what about [cdb]your time and energy?
19. And I'm not any sort of noble, you know.
20. I am aghast! Are you suggesting that devoting myself [cdb]fully to every endeavor is wasteful?
21. I mean, yeah.
22. If you put your all into every little thing, you'll run [cdb]out of stamina right when you need it most.
23. You're like the knight in that proverb. The one who [cdb]spends all day building a fence around his pegasus, [cdb]only for it to fly away.
24. Valuable advice for a pegasus perhaps, but I am no [cdb]beast. I am Ferdinand von Aegir!
25. This guy can't be serious.
26. No point pressing him on that.
27. It doesn't matter who you are. Everyone needs to take [cdb]it easy sometimes.
28. I know that you're different, I do. But everyone needs [cdb]to take it easy sometimes.
29. If you always keep your bowstring taut, it's just gonna [cdb]snap when you actually need to fire.
30. I assure you, I am no bowstring either. But I [cdb]take your point.
31. However, there is no cause for concern. As I have told [cdb]you on multiple occasions, I am Ferdinand von Aegir.
32. Whether I am resting, enjoying leisurely pursuits, [cdb]or simply in contemplation, I always apply all my [cdb]energy to the task at hand.
33. At work or at rest, I will forever give it my all. Hahaha!
34. Seriously? What's full-on resting even look like?
