0. And heave... Ngh!
1. Hello, Hilda. What are you doing?
2. Organizing our gear. What does it look like?
3. I know what it looks like—it just doesn't seem [cdb]believable. You working, I mean. You never do that.
4. Well, the person who's supposed to be doing it is hurt, [cdb]so I agreed to pitch in and help out.
5. But you always have others do your work for you.
6. OK, slow down, pal. It's not like I run around [cdb]asking people to take on work for me.
7. I just let them do it if they want to!
8. No matter the particulars of the process, the outcome [cdb]is the same.
9. Regardless, it's admirable of you to take the place of [cdb]an injured comrade without begrudging them.
10. Oh, and to be clear, I'm not here to help. I'm taking a [cdb]well-earned break right now, plus you seem to have a [cdb]handle on things yourself.
11. I haven't even asked you to help yet...
12. Not out loud, no—but your eyes tell a different tale.
13. Actually, I was thinking that if you had time for [cdb]chit-chat, you had time to lend me a hand or two.
14. But even I'm not enough of a jerk to ask a guy for [cdb]help when he's on a break.
15. I am delighted you grasp the importance of rest. There are many out there who say the most [cdb]unthinkable things on the subject!
16. "Oh, Linhardt, you're on break? Perfect! Then you [cdb]can help me with this awful whatever that I'm doing!"
17. Do they even understand the concept of down time, [cdb]or is every waking moment merely a chance to [cdb]increase their own productivity?
18. Break time...is for breaks.
19. Haha! You're speaking my language on that one!
20. Although to be fair, your life seems to be one [cdb]permanent break, so I see why somebody might say [cdb]that to you.
21. Indeed. Sometimes they even claim I sleep too much, [cdb]which is completely different from taking a break.
22. Wait, how is sleeping not a break?
23. Alas, how unfortunate! It appears you and I will not [cdb]be able to reach common ground on this matter.
24. Laying it on a bit thick, aren't you?
25. That reminds me of something...
26. Did I not see the injured comrade responsible for this [cdb]storehouse hauling things at the goods depot this [cdb]very morning?
27. Sure did! He said he wanted to help me out, so I [cdb]asked him to take over.
28. At which point he promptly threw out his back and [cdb]left this particular task to you.
29. Yes, well, I now understand your reason for working. And with that, good night.
30. Ugh, that guy really bugs me sometimes... It's like he thinks he's better than me or something!
