All are playthings of Fate until they bond together |
I had to take a brief leave because I've been helping with r/FE7, and I will probably be helping more often, so I will take advantage of today to make up for one of my missed days, but be aware my schedule will begin to become more erratic :\
C Virgil: Schall. Schall: Huh? Virgil, why aren’t you with Sylvain? Virgil: It’s just that… I wanted to ask you why you’re so happy all the time. Schall: Is that bad? Virgil: It isn’t that it’s bad, it’s just confusing. You’re a trained knight, so why are you all... giggly? Schall: Um- I dunno’- Virgil: S-sorry, this was dumb….. Schall: No, Virgil, it’s okay, I can- and he’s gone. Hmm... B Schall: Virgil, you ran off before I could answer your question! Virgil: I think I might have a few ideas. Schall: You do? Virgil: Yes, and I’d like to run them by you to see which one is right. Schall: I can just tell you. Virgil: So, my first thought is you want to psych out your opponent. Schall: Not really, my hair is enough to get the enemy to be laughing at me, to be honest. It’s funny, because- Virgil: Two. You could be hiding something. Schall: N-no, not at all! I pride myself on honesty, servitude, and kindness! Virgil: Three. You don’t… enjoy killing people, do you? Schall: Wh- what? No, I feel the exact opposite! Virgil: So then what is it? Schall: Because I get to do what I’ve dreamed of since I was a kid. I get to protect people. I’m wearing the armor I used to draw on parchment with sloppy pen marks, riding the horse that I raised from a foal, helping those who can’t protect themselves. I’m a knight, Virgil! Isn’t that worth smiling about? Virgil: Four. You don’t understand how important being a knight actually is. Schall: That isn’t right either. Virgil: Schall, are you really that oblivious? Schall: It isn’t like that- Virgil: I thought that you were a role model. But you act like a child. Schall: He’s gone again! And he’s going to leave the conversation like that? A Virgil: I… wish to apologize. Schall: It’s fine, I forgive you. Virgil: I understand that you care deeply about being a knight. It’s just that the way you described it made it sound… immature Schall: I want to remain confident, and the best way to do that is to constantly remind myself why I’m here. I’m here because I have always wanted to help others, so that’s what I do. Virgil: You’re so much better than me, aren’t you? Schall: What? Virgil: I became a knight because I wanted people to be proud of me. It’s selfish, but my brother was the combat prodigy. Now he’s off with Alda doing who knows what. I wanted to be good at combat too, but I’m...not really well practiced in actual field combat. Schall: But I’m not either. I’ve lived my whole life being told I was a magical prodigy. My parents were nobility, so they bought lots of books for me to read and a wonderful tutor. I was spoiled by my parents, but… Virgil: What? Schall: Well, it’s just that I never really put in a whole lot of work to get where I am. I’m just good at using staves. I’m good at light magic. Sometimes that puts a damper on my dream, y’know? It makes me feel like I didn’t earn the right to be here. Virgil: I think the fact that you motivated yourself to this point with nothing but a dream counts for something. Schall: Really? Virgil: Yes. And I’m glad that you’re here. You’re an excellent knight. Even if you’re a bit- immature. Schall: You are a good knight as well, Sir Virgil. Virgil: Not yet I’m not. But… I will become stronger. I will surpass Liam! Thank you for encouraging me, Schall! Bye! Schall: Oh- bye! ...Wait… who’s Liam?
