0. How you feeling, Raphael? Everything healing up?
1. Hey, Hilda. Yeah, I'm fine. This is nothing!
2. Well, that's good to hear. Still, don't go pushing [cdb]yourself too hard, OK?
3. You know it. Thanks for looking out for me!
4. You really were incredible out there today, you know? I mean, even if you did get sort of reckless at times.
5. It kind of reminded me of my brother, actually.
6. What, Holst? Well, I sure appreciate you saying so, [cdb]but I'm nothing compared to that guy.
7. He's strong as an ox, a master of every single weapon, [cdb]and has muscles bulging out of his other muscles!
8. His workout routine must be the stuff of legend. I'd give anything to be like him.
9. Yeah, he trains literally all the time. It's no surprise [cdb]the two of you get along like a house on fire.
10. I also appreciate how much he values his family.
11. Yeah? Because I sure don't.
12. Aw, don't say that! He's just being a good big brother [cdb]who's looking out for his little sis!
13. In fact, the last time we met up, we had a great time [cdb]swapping stories about our sisters!
14. Wait, so you were talking about me? Ughhhh. I really hope he didn't say anything weird.
15. It wasn't weird at all! We were just chatting about [cdb]how cute our sisters look when they sleep.
16. See, when she was little, my sis couldn't fall asleep [cdb]unless I tucked her in and we had a nice chat.
17. And at some point while we were talking...whoosh! Out like a candle. It was adorable!
18. Then Holst told stories about when you were little. Said you whined a lot.
19. Stop, stop, stop! I'm not interested in stories about [cdb]myself, and especially not stories like that!
20. This is all unbelievably embarrassing, so let's just bury [cdb]the whole conversation in the world's deepest hole [cdb]and pretend it never happened.
21. It's not embarrassing! It's nice!
22. Anyway, I eventually told Holst how sad and lonely I was to be living apart from my sister now.
23. And he said he's sad he never gets to work with you [cdb]even though you're in the same army.
24. And we ended the conversation by promising to [cdb]always keep our sisters safe, no matter what!
25. You promised each other?
26. Ugh, I swear, my brother is always like this.
27. What if he gets even more overprotective now that [cdb]he has you for a big-brother buddy?
28. Holst is overprotective? Huh. I never got that [cdb]impression.
29. Well, he's better than he used to be. I mean, [cdb]at least I don't have to send him constant letters now.
30. Still, according to what Baltie told me...
31. Holst apparently said, and I quote, "I will be the one [cdb]to decide if her future husband is good enough!"
32. Still, I feel like if I ever met someone I wanted to [cdb]marry, he'd barge in and try to make sure they lived [cdb]up to his own standard of excellence.
33. Hahaha! That's so funny!
34. My sister's gonna call the shots on who I marry, too. She told me so!
35. Wow. Our situations could not be more different.
