The Paladyn's Hobby
Elisanne: Enough, Your Highness. It's noon. That's more than enough training for one day.
Eduen: Whew! You may be right about that.
Eduen: You really are incredible, Elly. Your guard is flawless.
Eduen: No matter what angle I used, you were ready. It's like you have eyes in the back of your head.
Elisanne: If I'm being honest, you could stand to be more like that.
Elisanne: You focus far too much on what's in front of you.
Elisanne: Unchivalrous fiends will happily strike an unguarded back if they can. You must pay more attention.
Eduen: But aren't you there to protect my back?
Eduen: Ranzal and Cleo, too.
Eduen: I can afford to focus on what's in front of me because I know all of you are covering my blind spots.
Elisanne: I suppose that makes a... certain amount of sense.
Elisanne: But do you not find it unbecoming for a member of the royal family to be so dependent?
Elisanne: Relying on others shows weakness.
Elisanne: And I personally think it improper for a king or knight to willingly expose themselves so eagerly.
Eduen: Hmm. It's never bothered me.
Elisanne: Regardless, as the duty of both royalty and knights is to help the people, you should—
Ranzal: Ha! That's hilarious comin' from you, Ms. Perfect Paladyn!
Ranzal: Ain't no need to be so stubborn about everything.
Ranzal: Besides, out on the battlefield, it's important to have pals what can cover yer blind spots.
Elisanne: I'm not trying to understate the importance of allies in battle.
Elisanne: I'm just pointing out what I believe to be a flaw in the prince's way of thinking.
Ranzal: Like I said. Stubborn.
Ranzal: Are the other Paladyns all like you?
Elisanne: Of course.
Elisanne: We're entrusted to guard the Auspex— no one will come along and perform this duty for us.
Ranzal: Well, I can't fault ya for takin' your job seriously—even if a life without fun ain't really one worth livin'.
Elisanne: There's no need to speak of me as if I'm a loveless hermit with no concept of hobbies or joy.
Elisanne: There ARE things I do for fun, after all.
Ranzal: Oh yeah? Like what?
Elisanne: Such as... Well, there's... Um...
Elisanne: Animals! Yes, that's one. Animals.
Ranzal: I didn't know you had a pet.
Ranzal: So what's it eat?
Elisanne: Oh my, that's easy. It eats... Um... Actually, my pet requires no sustenance.
Eduen: You have an animal that doesn't need to eat?
Elisanne: Er... Well, I mean...
Elisanne: Ah! I understand our problem now. You were speaking of real animals. I was referring to ornamental ones.
Ranzal: You're into fake animals? Heh. Figures.
Ranzal: Leave it to a stubborn knight to be into some animal-shaped rock.
Ranzal: I betcha use it as a sparring partner or a target dummy or—
Elisanne: I do no such thing, sir! My animal is cuuu...uuuu...
Eduen: Cuuuu...?
Elisanne: Cuuuu...t? Cut! Yes, cut. I meant to say that it's cut from animal hide. Er, I think.
Elisanne: Just seeing it brightens my day!
Elisanne: Now if that is all of your questions, I bid you good day.
Eduen: She was leaving before she was even done talking.
Ranzal: Now THERE'S a lady with a secret!
