- Never thought we'd get the chance to fight
[cdb]side-by-side again.
- Heh.
- It was a total surprise, to be honest. But I'm
[cdb]actually pretty happy with how things shook out.
- I know.
- Haha! You're still as cold as ice, you know that?
- Would it kill you to say you're happy to see
[cdb]me or something?
- Sorry to disappoint.
- Nah, I actually kind of missed it. Besides, that's just
[cdb]how you are.
- So, what've you been up to since you left the knights?
- I spent some time in Leicester as a mercenary.
Not many people know me there.
- But you already knew that. You sent for me,
[cdb]didn't you?
- You mean back at the battle at Arianrhod, right?
- Actually, the knights were just throwing my name
[cdb]around to recruit all the mercenaries they could.
I had no idea you'd be one of them.
- Huh. So it really was just a coincidence.
- What about you? Still serving as Rhea's sword?
- Lady Rhea. I'll let that slide since you're not a
Knight of Seiros anymore.
- But to answer your question, yes. No matter who I'm
[cdb]swinging it at, my sword will always belong to her.
- Hm.
- Honestly, I was surprised to hear you'd slipped away
[cdb]after repaying your debt to Lady Rhea.
- You didn't even say goodbye. I was furious.
- I guess sneaking out was the right call, then.
- I was running around, shouting that I'd drag you back
[cdb]to Garreg Mach and kill you myself.
- But then Lady Rhea took me to task.
- She said it wasn't fair for me to impose the church's
[cdb]values on someone who wasn't from Fódlan.
- Sounds like I owe her another one.
- For what? I wasn't really going to kill you.
- I'll take your word for it. You know, I've fought
[cdb]alongside a lot of people since I left.
- But you're still the only one I trust to have my back.
- Hmm... So what you're really saying is that you
[cdb]missed me and wish you never left?
- You basically said the same yourself, didn't you?
- But yes. I did miss you. I didn't think I'd ever see
[cdb]you again.
- For once, I'm glad I was wrong.
- Heh...
- Would you look at that! You have changed!
And I feel the same. Really.
- I couldn't ask for a better partner than you.
- But if you disappear on me again, so help me, I really
[cdb]will hunt you down!
- Heh. Then the next time I go somewhere, I'll just
[cdb]have to drag you with me.
