Well, well. Just the gal I wanted to see. I've got a bit
[cdb]of a favor to ask.
You know that special sword you fight with? Well,
I was wondering if you'd let me take a peek at it.
Show him.
Hesitate.
Sure, if you want. Can't say I expected this kind of
[cdb]interest coming from you, though.
I dunno, it's not really something I wanna go showing
[cdb]off to people if I can avoid it.
Oh, come on. Can't you make a tiny exception just for
[cdb]me? I'm curious about something.
All right, fine. Can't say I expected this kind of
[cdb]interest coming from you, though.
It'd be one thing if it were Dimitri or Felix asking—
[cdb]you know how they get about weapons. But you?
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.
Well, you always skip out on training, so... Anyway,
[cdb]here. This work?
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.
I couldn't tell you. Honestly, I have no idea.
What about how you can make it appear right out of
[cdb]thin air? Is that some sort of magic?
Nah, not exactly. It kinda just...comes to me when I
[cdb]call it.
Well, that's vague. One more question, then.
Would I be able to use your sword if I wanted to?
Ngh, doubt it. The thing vanishes the second I let go
[cdb]of it.
But hey, why do you wanna know so much about
[cdb]it anyway?
I guess I was just thinking how nice it'd be if there
[cdb]were more weapons like yours out in the world.
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.
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.
Of course, that wouldn't be an issue if everyone
[cdb]could just use a sword like yours.
Maybe so, but that doesn't make it possible. I mean,
[cdb]there's still so much even I don't know about it.
Right. It's not like you can just make a second one
[cdb]or something.
That's...actually a pretty interesting idea.
You've given this a lot of thought, haven't you?
Hey, you're talking to the future Margrave Gautier
[cdb]here, remember? Of course I'd think about this kind
[cdb]of stuff.
After all, us nobles wouldn't have nearly as much
[cdb]work to do if everyone could fight with the Relics.
And then I could spend all my time flirting with you
[cdb]instead.
Yeah, not interested. Don't make me tell Ingrid
[cdb]about this.
Yeah, not interested. Don't make me tell Dimitri
[cdb]about this.
Harsh! Though, I do like that about you.
Come on, let's see that sword of yours a little more.
