Hmph. Battle.

Tell me, am I achieving anything yet?

There is a group of people who want to kill us, after all. What? This is no time for asking permission. I learned long ago that one can ask permission or forgiveness. It is rarely useful to request the former.

I used to think it foolish to cover one's face in battle with a mask or helmet, but it actually may not be that bad. It means you don't have to look your opponent in the eye.

I'd rather not kill. I don't want blood on my hands. I just want to read a nice book to put myself to sleep...

Although I was against the whole endeavor, I must be honest and say that I am quite pleased that I won. But I won't do anything like this again, thank you.

Oh, I was right?

Whatever the plan, I'll help.

Bold strategy.

Marianne, are you going to finish eating that? May I have it? For research...

Well, as long as we weren't marching. Can't sleep much then...but it's not for want of trying...

I slipped quietly into the vault and rummaged about, looking for anything we might find useful.

I'm not thinking about friends right now, and I'm certainly not prepared.

I passed? Well done, me.

If I don’t become a scholar then perhaps librarian is the job for me.

If your objective is merely to block up the hole, then I believe you've performed quite adequate work.

I see... Well, that's just fine by me. There's a book on fishing that I'd like to finish.

They're pale, and their pulse are slow... Still, I don't believe their lives are in danger.

I agree! Imagine all that responsibility. Until now, you've always fought with all of us by your side. Bring ruler would be a much lonelier job, though I am certain you would excel.
