0. Hey, just the guy I wanted to see. I've got a bit of a [cdb]favor to ask.
1. You know that special sword you fight with? Well, I was wondering if you'd let me take a peek at it.
2. Show him.
3. Hesitate.
4. Sure, if you want. Can't say I expected this kind of [cdb]interest coming from you, though.
5. I dunno, it's not really something I wanna go showing [cdb]off to people if I can avoid it.
6. Oh, come on. Can't you make a tiny exception just for [cdb]me? I'm curious about something.
7. All right, fine. Can't say I expected this kind of [cdb]interest coming from you, though.
8. It'd be one thing if it were Dimitri or Felix asking— [cdb]you know how they get about weapons. But you?
9. You do remember I'm the heir to House Gautier, [cdb]don't you? I've been studying the art of combat ever [cdb]since I was just a kid.
10. Well, you always skip out on training, so... Anyway, [cdb]here. This work?
11. It sure does. What a weird sword. You know what it's [cdb]made of? It doesn't look like iron or steel to me.
12. I couldn't tell you. Honestly, I have no idea.
13. What about how you can make it appear right out of [cdb]thin air? Is that some sort of magic?
14. Nah, not exactly. It kinda just...comes to me when I [cdb]call it.
15. Well, that's vague. One more question, then. Would I be able to use your sword if I wanted to?
16. Doubt it. The thing vanishes the second I let go of it.
17. But hey, why do you wanna know so much about [cdb]it anyway?
18. I guess I was just thinking how nice it'd be if there [cdb]were more weapons like yours out in the world.
19. You know, a Hero's Relic can take down hundreds [cdb]or even thousands of soldiers in a single swing. Depending on who's doing the swinging, of course.
20. But as soon as the wielder dies, that's it. If you don't [cdb]have a Crest, it's nothing more than a fancy-looking [cdb]hunk of...whatever they're made of.
21. Of course, that wouldn't be an issue if everyone [cdb]could just use a sword like yours.
22. Maybe so, but that doesn't make it possible. I mean, [cdb]there's still so much even I don't know about it.
23. Right. It's not like you can just make a second one [cdb]or something.
24. That's...actually a pretty interesting idea. You've given this a lot of thought, haven't you?
25. Hey, you're talking to the future Margrave Gautier [cdb]here, remember? Of course I'd think about this kind [cdb]of stuff.
26. After all, us nobles wouldn't have nearly as much [cdb]work to do if everyone could fight with the Relics.
27. And then I could spend all my time goofing off, [cdb]just like I did back at the academy!
28. Yeah, in your dreams. Don't make me tell Ingrid [cdb]about this.
29. Yeah, in your dreams. Don't make me tell Dimitri [cdb]about this.
30. Whoa now, you don't need to do that. Have a heart! Come on, let's see that sword of yours a little more.
