Hey there, Ignatz!
link Ignatz volume_up
Oh, Raphael!
link Raphael volume_up
I've been looking all over for you. Got a minute to chat?
link Ignatz volume_up
Of course. With all the battles lately, we've barely had any time to sit down and rest.
link Raphael volume_up
Right? It feels like I don't even see you anymore, and I definitely don't have enough time to show off my muscles!
link Ignatz volume_up
Glad to see you haven't changed at all these past two years.
link Ignatz volume_up
The Officers Academy shut down so suddenly. I scarcely would've imagined we'd all end up back together as part of an army.
link Raphael volume_up
Same here! Oh, and I could hardly believe my ears when I found out you signed up to be a knight over with Lorenz.
link Ignatz volume_up
To be honest...I had nowhere else to turn. I owe a great debt to him and his generosity.
link Raphael volume_up
Gotcha, gotcha. He's not such a bad guy, that Lorenz!
link Raphael volume_up
Gotcha, gotcha. He's not such a bad guy, that Lorenz!
link Ignatz volume_up
But Lorenz, he... He fell in battle.
link Raphael volume_up
He was a good guy, though. That's still true, even in death.
link Ignatz volume_up
I agree. Tell me Raphael, how have you been holding up these past two years?
link Ignatz volume_up
I hear your family opened an inn?
link Raphael volume_up
Oh yeah, me, my grandpa, and Maya! Business is going pretty great, if you ask me.
link Ignatz volume_up
That's wonderful. And how is Maya?
link Raphael volume_up
She's as sunny as always! That reminds me, she was pretty worried about you. I better write her a letter and tell her you're OK.
link Raphael volume_up
I'm sure she wants to see you. Bet you're feeling the same way, huh?
link Ignatz volume_up
Of course, I'd love to come and... That is, I should write her a letter.
link Ignatz volume_up
...
link Raphael volume_up
What's wrong?
link Ignatz volume_up
Life never works out the way you want, does it?
link Raphael volume_up
Huh?
link Ignatz volume_up
Oh, it's nothing. Just thinking back to my childhood.
link Ignatz volume_up
Back then, I felt like I had the power to do whatever I wanted.
link Raphael volume_up
Whaddya mean? I still feel like that now.
link Ignatz volume_up
You do?
link Raphael volume_up
Sure! I know I joined the Officers Academy to be a knight, but that option's off the table.
link Raphael volume_up
But look at me now! I might not be a knight, but I'm fighting in a war as if I was.
link Raphael volume_up
All you've gotta do is put your mind to it and you can do anything you want. Trust me.
link Ignatz volume_up
Yes, I think you're right. Thanks, Raphael.
