0. Rrgh! Hahh!
1. Ngh! Hrahh!
2. I think that's enough for one day. You really know [cdb]how to make me work up a sweat!
3. You kept me on my toes as well, Caspar. Thank you.
4. Hey now, you'll never have to twist my arm to get [cdb]me to train. Just shout when you wanna go again!
5. Oh, and we should invite Raphael next time! The muscles on that guy are something else!
6. I'll keep that in mind. I often have trouble finding [cdb]people to spar with.
7. No surprise there. Not like folks are lining up for a [cdb]chance to knock the emperor's teeth out.
8. You seem to have no problem coming after my teeth. Sometimes I think you're trying to kill me.
9. What? No! I mean, I only do it because I know you [cdb]can handle it, right?
10. Look, just don't say anything to Hubert, OK? If he [cdb]finds out we're sparring, he'll have me cut into pieces [cdb]and dumped into the nearest river for sure.
11. He already knows. I convinced him that I need the [cdb]training if I'm to stand on the front lines.
12. Well, that's a relief. So, uh, why do you, by the way? Fight on the front lines, I mean.
13. You're an incredible fighter, but the Empire would be [cdb]in deep, deep trouble if anything happened to you.
14. And it's not like you're after the glory like I am. Shouldn't you just hang back and send us orders [cdb]from some distant hilltop?
15. Seems like it goes pretty hard against that "rationality" thing you're always talking about.
16. Caspar, lecturing me on what's sensible? I must [cdb]be dreaming.
17. But yes, you're right. It's not entirely rational.
18. See? I'm a thinking man sometimes!
19. That's not to say I don't have a rational reason.
20. My presence on the front lines improves morale, [cdb]and my skill betters our hope of victory.
21. So long as I don't fall in battle, taking the field is the [cdb]smartest thing I can do.
22. Right, sure. So what's the un-rational part?
23. The emotional side. I can't stand the idea of [cdb]remaining safe while friends and comrades alike risk [cdb]their lives for our cause.
24. You're all out there on my command, taking lives [cdb]from others and giving your own in return.
25. It doesn't seem fair for me to do any less.
26. Except that you're the emperor.
27. And I say the emperor should help.
28. Hey, I get it. You wanna get in the dirt with the rest [cdb]of us to pull your weight, right? You and me are the [cdb]same in that way.
29. A dreadful suggestion, but I'll allow it.
30. Aw, come on! You should be happy!
31. Here I thought we were completely different people, [cdb]but it turns out there's a little Caspar in you after all.
32. You know, I can't even imagine you lording over us [cdb]from far away.
33. You work best when you're down in the mud with the [cdb]rest of us, sending chumps flying.
34. If there's a little Caspar in me, perhaps it's time to [cdb]put a bit of someone else in you.
35. Someone with manners, perhaps?
36. Ugh, the M word? No thanks. You know all that [cdb]politeness would only hold me back.
