Ugh, today's training was rough. Guess I need to start working even harder if I wanna keep up.
link Sylvain volume_up
You know, it's incredible just how into all this you are. But I do feel kind of bad for you.
link Shez volume_up
Why? It's my own fault for not being up to snuff.
link Shez volume_up
Just you watch, Sylvain. I'm gonna stand head and shoulders above everyone else in the next battle.
link Sylvain volume_up
That's not what I mean. I feel bad that we roped you into this war.
link Sylvain volume_up
The only reason any of us are fighting is to keep our homes from being destroyed.
link Sylvain volume_up
If we fail, we'll lose everything. Our houses, our families, the places we grew up.
link Sylvain volume_up
But you don't have that kind of personal stake in this thing. You can live wherever the wind takes you.
link Shez volume_up
True. I am a bit of a nomad.
link Sylvain volume_up
Isn't there anywhere you call home, though?
link Shez volume_up
Well, sorta.
link Shez volume_up
I grew up in a remote village off in the mountains, so that's probably the closest thing. But it's hard to really say for sure.
link Sylvain
...
link Shez volume_up
Honestly, I doubt I'll ever understand what it means to have a home like all of you do.
link Sylvain volume_up
So, what? Are you just in this for the money, then?
link Shez volume_up
If I'm getting paid for a job, then I'll do whatever it takes to see it through to the end. And of course, I wanna keep my friends safe, too.
link Sylvain volume_up
A very you answer if I've ever heard one. Not that that's a bad thing.
link Shez volume_up
No. I'm only putting all this effort in so I can make sure my friends get through the war alive. Though I'm not gonna complain about the money, either.
link Sylvain volume_up
OK, now you're just trying to sound good. Though it is working, I'll give you that.
link Shez volume_up
Really, I think this is the closest thing to a home I've ever had. Because I've got all of you here.
link Sylvain volume_up
Are you sure? This place doesn't make for quality living, trust me.
link Sylvain volume_up
I mean, it's cold, it's desolate, and there's nowhere to go to have any fun! Plus we've constantly got enemies like Sreng soldiers coming at us from every angle.
link Shez volume_up
Well, I can't deny that. But it's still important to you anyway, right?
link Sylvain volume_up
Yeah. There's no doubt about that.
link Sylvain volume_up
And it's our job to make it a place where everyone can live in peace.
link Shez volume_up
Right. Who knows what'll happen after the war, but for now I'm with you guys every step of the way.
link Sylvain volume_up
I appreciate it. Oh yeah, and about those plans for the fire orb I showed you?
link Sylvain volume_up
Would you mind helping me with a little experiment later? The thing hardly had any punch to it when I tested it.
link Shez volume_up
Sure. Sounds like it's a long way off still, huh?
link Sylvain volume_up
Hey, I'm trying here! I even got in touch with the school of sorcery to see if they could help.
link Shez volume_up
No rush, Sylvain. I'm sure you'll finish it one of these days.
link Shez volume_up
I've spent enough time with you to know—you can do anything when you put your mind to it.
