You ready for this?
link Byleth volume_up
Come at me! No hesitation!
link Byleth volume_up
You actually managed to dodge that...
link Shez volume_up
Not sure "dodge" is the word I'd use.
link Shez volume_up
I just let my power loose without even thinking. Guess I'm still no match for you.
link Byleth volume_up
Give yourself a little credit. It took everything I had to keep up.
link Byleth volume_up
If you could avoid an attack like that, then you're easily on par with me.
link Shez volume_up
But you barely even used your power.
link Shez volume_up
Y'know, the one that throws off your enemy's perception or whatever. I wouldn't have stood a chance if you hit me with that.
link Byleth volume_up
So you've noticed it.
link Shez volume_up
How could I not? We've fought about a million times by now.
link Shez volume_up
Your power's not exactly visible, so it's definitely tougher to catch on to than mine.
link Shez volume_up
But I've experienced your kind of beatdown firsthand, so I'm painfully aware of the damage you can inflict.
link Byleth volume_up
Sorry about that. I couldn't afford to pull any punches back then.
link Shez volume_up
It's fine. Water under the bridge.
link Shez volume_up
So, have you had your power for long?
link Shez volume_up
Where'd you learn it? I was kind of wondering if I could pick it up myself.
link Byleth volume_up
I only became aware of it when I was fighting hard against you.
link Byleth volume_up
But I don't think it's something a person can learn.
link Byleth volume_up
Even I barely understand how it works.
link Shez volume_up
Right, gotcha. Sounds like we're in the same boat, then.
link Byleth volume_up
Yes, just two strange people with even stranger powers. And I'm not only talking about your sword.
link Shez volume_up
Hm?
link Byleth volume_up
Do you ever feel like there's some sort of mysterious presence within you?
link Shez volume_up
Oh, uh...
link Byleth volume_up
It's just that sometimes it's hard to tell what you're thinking. Like you get distracted by something from time to time.
link Byleth volume_up
Almost like you're talking to someone else... inside your head.
link Shez volume_up
Nah, what? I don't even get what you mean.
link Byleth volume_up
Well, that's all right. Forget I said anything.
link Shez volume_up
Are you asking because that's what happens to you?
link Byleth volume_up
No, it was just something I noticed. I simply thought I'd ask.
link Shez volume_up
If you say so.
