r/FE7 Schall Support Series! Schall and Virgil

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...

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?
