Hey there, Petra. Off to train? I'll join you!
link Petra volume_up
That would give me much joy. An opponent with toughness will keep me upon my toes.
link Shez volume_up
You mean me? Nah, you're way tougher than I am.
link Shez volume_up
Also, aren't you a queen now? I didn't realize dawn- to-dusk training was part of the Brigid royal regimen.
link Petra volume_up
I have not become queen yet. But there is an understanding that it will happen.
link Petra volume_up
And yes, in Brigid, royalty must have knowledge of fighting. I mean...we must know how to fight.
link Petra volume_up
To be leading our people, a ruler must have more strength than any other. They must be the hardest to kill.
link Petra volume_up
My people are expecting this of me.
link Shez volume_up
So it's the toughest person calling the shots, huh? I love it! What could possibly go wrong?
link Petra volume_up
This is how it is meant to be working. But such things do not always go with smoothness.
link Petra volume_up
Mercenaries are always seeking strength too, correct?
link Shez volume_up
That's true. A merc lives and dies by the sword.
link Shez volume_up
If you're not better than the next opponent you face, they'll be the last one you face.
link Shez volume_up
I guess I feel that way, but I dunno that it's really true for every merc.
link Shez volume_up
After all, chasing after the toughest opponents is a great way to end up in the ground.
link Shez volume_up
Like you said, you wanna be the hardest person to kill, not the first one running headlong into danger.
link Petra volume_up
Yes, dying is without productivity. But it gives me surprise that you do not avoid jobs of danger.
link Petra volume_up
A queen must be facing any wolf who comes to her door, but you can have pickiness when selecting fights.
link Shez volume_up
Depends on how much food you can put on the table that week. Most of us mercs barely scrape by hand to mouth.
link Shez volume_up
End of the day, it's just business. Some mercs will take the coin and blow town, and some employers are more than happy to hang us all out to dry.
link Shez volume_up
I guess you don't have a lot of sellswords in Brigid, huh?
link Petra volume_up
Correct. We do not require the selling of swords.
link Petra volume_up
In Brigid, everyone is a hunter. Everyone is a fisher. Everyone is a warrior. There is no need to be hiring or to be hired.
link Shez volume_up
That sounds incredible. In a place like that, nobody'd have to risk their life just to get a bite to eat.
link Petra volume_up
Your words give me great happiness. I will always be full of pride for Brigid.
link Shez volume_up
So I guess even your farmers and carpenters can cut down twenty guys in a single stroke, huh?
link Petra volume_up
You have it correct. Do not mess with a Brigid farmer and her spade!
link Shez volume_up
Wait, seriously? You can do that with a spade? I mean, a tough farmer I can see, but... You know what? Never mind.
