- Hey, hey. Still alive?
- Think it'd be pretty obvious if I wasn't. But yes,
I'm back and all in one piece.
- Well that's a relief. However, I noticed your approach
[cdb]to battle hasn't changed one bit.
- You still charge to the front and dive right into
[cdb]the thick of it.
- I was trying to be careful, but I guess it didn't
[cdb]really work.
- Well, you are some kind of master soldier, right?
I'm starting to think you might not get yourself
[cdb]killed after all.
- Huh, so now you approve of my approach?
Why the change of heart?
- I realized...that taking the lead and fighting at the
[cdb]front is exactly what my brother does.
- True, and they say Holst is the bravest commander in
[cdb]all of Leicester.
- Usually, the commanders stay in the back so they can
[cdb]see the whole battlefield and give orders.
- But not my brother. Honestly, he can't stand being
[cdb]back there. He has to be leading the charge.
- That's why I used to worry myself sick every time he
[cdb]went off to battle...
- But at some point—I'm not sure when—I became
[cdb]convinced that my brother would never die.
- What made you think that?
- I'm not sure. But it's not like there's anyone out there
[cdb]who can beat him, right?
- When I realized that, it just seemed like a waste of
[cdb]time to worry about him so much.
- If anything, you should be pitying the chumps on
[cdb]the other side.
- Precisely. And then I realized it's the same with you.
You're just like my brother.
- Hah, it's an honor to be put in the same category
[cdb]as Holst.
- Now I know I'm wasting my time worrying
[cdb]about you. And it's not like I can stop you anyway.
- I actually hope you keep doing what you do so I can
[cdb]take it easy in the back!
- That's the plan.
- But I'm pretty sure I've seen you fighting up front
[cdb]with me recently. You even seemed to be enjoying
[cdb]yourself.
- Me, enjoying myself? Please. If I'm fighting at
[cdb]the front, it's because I have no other choice.
- The whole time I'm fighting, I'm wishing I could be
[cdb]cheering everyone on from the sidelines instead.
- You know, yelling stuff like, "Smash 'im good!" and
"Yeah, use those muscles!"
- That would really inspire our troops, right?
And remember, this is me we're talking about.
- Yep, super inspiring.
- Hm, not so much.
- Sure, you could motivate anyone.
- I know, right?
- I dunno... I think all that yelling would only annoy
[cdb]some people.
- Uh, you obviously haven't experienced my
[cdb]phenomenal cheering skills firsthand.
- Next time, I'll cheer for you too! You'll see how
[cdb]inspiring it can be!
- All right, sounds good. I'll keep an ear out.
