1. Mm, mm, mmm! Delicious as always!
  2. All right! Now that the ol' stomach's full, it's time to [cdb]put my muscles to work!
  3. Raphael, do you have a minute?
  4. Oh, hey Ignatz. I've got hours for you! What do [cdb]you need?
  5. Well, um...
  6. How would you feel about joining me? As a knight, I mean.
  7. Me? Be a knight with you?
  8. Yes. That's why you joined the academy, right?
  9. But all the roadblocks in your way have made you [cdb]almost a mercenary at this point.
  10. As you know, I've been working as a knight under House Gloucester for a while now.
  11. And it seems I'm going to be rewarded rather well [cdb]when this war is over, for all my achievements in [cdb]helping the effort.
  12. I might even be able to use that newfound sway to [cdb]recommend you for a position of your own, Raphael.
  13. Hm.
  14. Well, what do you think? It seems like a good plan [cdb]to me.
  15. Is that really what you want, Ignatz?
  16. Huh? What do you mean?
  17. Don't pretend like you don't know.
  18. We're friends, remember? I can tell in a flash when [cdb]you're not being honest with me.
  19. Well, I... I couldn't possibly spend all that reward [cdb]money on my own, so...
  20. That's not what I'm talking about. You're not happy [cdb]staying as a knight and you know it.
  21. ...
  22. You really do see straight through me, Raphael.
  23. Honestly, I've wanted to make amends with you this [cdb]whole time.
  24. Your parents died in my parents' stead, after all.
  25. I thought the least I could do was help you become [cdb]a knight, like you always wanted.
  26. Thanks, Ignatz. It makes me real happy to hear you [cdb]say that.
  27. But you don't need to make anything up to me. And you definitely shouldn't be basing your life [cdb]decisions on it.
  28. You got where you are with your own strength, [cdb]right? You should be using that for what you want, [cdb]not what you think anyone else does.
  29. Raphael...
  30. And y'know? I'm totally OK not being a knight.
  31. Once this war is finally over and we're at peace again, I'm gonna take over the inn.
  32. So don't worry about me, OK? Follow your own [cdb]dreams, Ignatz.
  33. I'm really no match for you, Raphael.
  34. But I'm proud to call you a friend, from the bottom of [cdb]my heart.
