1. Ugh, today's training was rough. Guess I need to start [cdb]working even harder if I wanna keep up.
  2. You know, it's amazing just how into all this you are. But I do feel kind of bad for you.
  3. Why? It's my own fault for not being up to snuff.
  4. Just you watch, Sylvain. I'm gonna stand head and [cdb]shoulders above everyone else in the next battle.
  5. That's not what I mean. I feel bad that we roped you [cdb]into this war.
  6. The only reason any of us are fighting is to keep our [cdb]homes from being destroyed.
  7. If we fail, we'll lose everything. Our houses, [cdb]our families, the places we grew up.
  8. But you don't have that kind of personal stake in this [cdb]thing. You can live wherever the wind takes you.
  9. True. I am a bit of a nomad.
  10. Isn't there anywhere you call home, though?
  11. Well, sorta.
  12. I grew up in a remote village off in the mountains, [cdb]so that's probably the closest thing. But it's hard to [cdb]really say for sure.
  13. ...
  14. Honestly, I doubt I'll ever understand what it means [cdb]to have a home like all of you do.
  15. So, what? Are you just in this for the money, then?
  16. Confirm his suspicions.
  17. Deny it.
  18. If I'm getting paid for a job, then I'll do whatever it [cdb]takes to see it through to the end. And of course, I wanna keep my friends safe, too.
  19. A very you answer if I've ever heard one. Not that [cdb]that's a bad thing.
  20. No. I'm only putting all this effort in so I can make [cdb]sure my friends get through the war alive. Though I'm not gonna complain about the money, either.
  21. OK, now you're just trying to sound good. Though it [cdb]is working, I'll give you that.
  22. Really, I think this is the closest thing to a home I've [cdb]ever had. Because I've got all of you here.
  23. Are you sure? This place doesn't make for quality [cdb]living, trust me.
  24. I mean, it's cold, it's desolate, and there's nowhere to [cdb]go to have any fun! Plus we've constantly got enemies [cdb]like Sreng soldiers coming at us from every angle.
  25. Well, I can't deny that. But it's still important to you [cdb]anyway, right?
  26. Yeah. There's no doubt about that.
  27. And it's our job to make it a place where everyone [cdb]can live in peace.
  28. Right. Who knows what'll happen after the war, [cdb]but for now I'm with you guys every step of the way.
  29. I appreciate it. Oh yeah, and about those plans for [cdb]the fire orb I showed you?
  30. Would you mind helping me with a little experiment [cdb]later? The thing hardly had any punch to it when I [cdb]tested it.
  31. Sure. Sounds like it's a long way off still, huh?
  32. Hey, I'm trying here! I even got in touch with the [cdb]school of sorcery to see if they could help.
  33. No rush, Sylvain. I'm sure you'll finish it one of [cdb]these days.
  34. I've spent enough time with you to know—you can [cdb]do anything when you put your mind to it.
