Now, time for a break! Let us concentrate our efforts on rousing conversation!

Afterwards, I say we reward ourselves with a gripping training session, and crown the evening with a meal well-deserving of our ravenous appetites.

Sorry, er, that wasn't really the path I was hoping this would go down.
linkShezvolume_up
But when you put it like that, I can certainly understand where you're coming from.
linkShezvolume_up
I wouldn't worry about your father, though. I know you'll find the right solution.
linkShezvolume_up
Now that you mention it, I think I finally know what was feeling off about you.
linkShezvolume_up
It's that pressure, forcing you to keep your guard up. Like you're constantly braced for the worst.
linkShezvolume_up
Take your "breaks," for example. It never looks like you're doing anything even resembling relaxing.
linkShezvolume_up
I wouldn't worry about your father, though. I know you'll find the right solution.
linkFerdinandvolume_up
I appreciate your counsel. I feel as though I have gained some valuable new insight into myself.
linkFerdinandvolume_up
After all, one can hardly notice the changes they undergo as they happen.
linkFerdinandvolume_up
It seems partnering with you was the right decision. Your advocacy for maximal effort continues to be an inspiration.
linkShezvolume_up
Oh, I wasn't really trying to give you advice or anything. And that's definitely not what I'm advocating for.
linkShezvolume_up
But if what I said helped...then I'm glad I could be there for you.
linkShezvolume_up
I just hope you can start cutting yourself a little slack. Your future's bright, Ferdinand.
linkFerdinandvolume_up
A veritable wellspring of advice, as always. I am deeply obliged.
linkShezvolume_up
As long as you're feeling better. I mean, war councils are grim already, but they'd be practically unbearable with you sulking around the place.
linkShezvolume_up
And really, it was nothing. Just here to help.
linkFerdinandvolume_up
Nothing?! Pah! If ever there is a time to give it one's all, it is when expressing gratitude!
linkFerdinandvolume_up
It seems you could learn something from me, as well. And just you watch. I swear on the Aegir name, I will surpass my father in the most stunning fashion!
