- Hey, I was looking for you. Didn't think I'd find you
[cdb]down by the river.
- That's an awful lot of blood on your cloak.
- I thought soaking it in the water would help get
[cdb]it out.
- I thought soaking it in the water would help get
[cdb]it out.
- I don't know, that fight went on for a while.
And blood doesn't come out so easily, even if
[cdb]you start washing it right away.
- If you ask me, it's more trouble than it's worth.
You have another one, right?
- I do. But I'd still like to use this one if I can.
- I do. But I'd still like to use this one if I can.
- ...
- Something wrong?
- Something wrong?
- Hm? Oh, sorry.
- It's just, you reminded me of Sitri...of your mother.
Back when we first met.
- How so?
- How so?
- There was this one time when she was trying really
[cdb]hard to get some stains out of a handkerchief.
- She had your same quiet composure and everything.
And when I asked her if she had another one,
[cdb]you know what she told me?
- She just turned and said, "If I can still use this one,
I'd rather not throw it away."
- Well, that's not exactly the same...
- Well, that's not exactly the same...
- Maybe not. But I still see so much of her in you.
- When I was first getting to know her, I never saw her
[cdb]laugh or cry.
- Just like someone else I could mention.
- You know, you never really used to talk about her,
[cdb]but you've been doing it a lot lately. Why is that?
- You know, you never really used to talk about her,
[cdb]but you've been doing it a lot lately. Why is that?
- Oh, I don't know. Maybe I'm feeling a little regret
[cdb]for dragging you into the mercenary life.
- You've never had a place to call home, and you don't
[cdb]have any friends your age.
- And it's been one bloody battle after another since
[cdb]this war broke out.
- If she were still alive, your life would be entirely
[cdb]different.
- You'd be with her, and things would be...peaceful.
- I don't regret my life here with you.
- I don't regret my life here with you.
- I might not have a home or friends, but you've always
[cdb]been there for me.
- I might not have a home or friends, but you've always
[cdb]been there for me.
- Living by the sword suits me just fine. And I've had
[cdb]no shortage of allies.
- Living by the sword suits me just fine. And I've had
[cdb]no shortage of allies.
- So...
- So...
- You're right. There's no cause for regrets.
- You really are just like her though. You know that?
