- Captain!
- You again, Leonie. What is it today?
- Seeing as you're strong as ever, Captain Jeralt, I was
[cdb]hoping you'd train with me.
- Your eyes are playing tricks. I'm an old man. I'd never
[cdb]be able to keep up with you kids at the rate you're
[cdb]improving.
- You can't mean that!
- I'm nowhere near a match for you.
- But hearing that kind of praise from my hero makes
[cdb]me want to devote myself to training even more!
- Aren't you a little old for childhood heroes?
- Maybe, but I'm still happy. I worked my whole life to
[cdb]be a mercenary like you, after all.
- And now I get to fight at your side? Dreams really do
[cdb]come true!
- I'm glad. It's not often childhood dreams actually
[cdb]come to pass.
- I recall you always scampering a few paces behind me
[cdb]as a kid.
- You'd stare at me and ask all kinds of questions,
[cdb]even when I was clearly too busy to answer.
- Well, I was just hoping you'd teach me about martial
[cdb]arts and tactics and...and that kind of thing.
- Before your job ended and you left, I mean.
- You couldn't have learned much. I wasn't there long.
- Yet here you are, standing strong and tall. You have
[cdb]no one but yourself to thank for that.
- You grew up without any guidance from this old
[cdb]captain. I'm glad to call you my apprentice.
- Thank you. I promise to make you proud.
- And one day, I'm going to surpass you!
That's my new dream!
- That's the spirit.
- And I'm not just surpassing you, but your kid, too!
- I had no idea they were so strong.
- Guess the topic never came up when I was in Sauin.
- We've both been through a lot.
- I'm jealous about all the time you two got to spend
[cdb]traveling together.
- I bet their strength is due to your instruction.
- Eh, all I did was teach the basics of merc life.
- Natural talent's likely behind the swordsmanship and
[cdb]tactical ability.
- Which means normal folks like me have to put in a
[cdb]hundred times the effort just to catch up.
- Don't sell yourself short—I wouldn't have taken you
[cdb]on if you didn't have talent.
