Crossing Paths/Safy: Font of Piety

Safy: Font of Piety - C

Safy	Lifis! So you have been summoned to Askr as well?
Yes, before you were, actually. Askr wouldn’t leave the power of a grand Hero like myself untapped for long.		Lifis
Safy	I was summoned to Askr recently. Let us work together for the common good here, as well.
Since I have more experience here than you, just let me know if you need anything.		Lifis
Safy	Thank you for your generous offer. It could be my imagination, but you seem to have grown calmer here.
Glad you noticed. I’ve turned over a new leaf. I’m choosing to live a respectable life.		Lifis
Safy	That is wonderful news. The words I spoke to you when we were with the pirates may have reached your heart. But what are these clothes you are wearing? Did you have new garments made for you here?
These? As it turns out, there’s an event called a pirate festival in Askr. I made this fine outfit so I could be part of the entertainment.		Lifis
Safy	To help entertain everyone... I see. So you are making yourself useful to the people of Askr, then. I always believed that you had good in you. It seems I was right.
I was a genuine pirate in Thracia, but that’s a thing of the past now. I’m a Hero in Askr, after all. I need to behave in a manner befitting one.		Lifis
Safy	I am so relieved to hear that. You will surely open up a new future for yourself by atoning for your past sins.
Enough about me. How about you? Are you adjusting to life here, Safy? I am willing to help you with any task or accompany you on any venture! You need only ask.		Lifis
Safy	Is that so? May I take you up on that offer now? I would like to help at the orphanage. Perhaps you could come with me.
An orphanage? So you want me to babysit brats? What a pain in the a— I mean, I would love to. Let me show you the upstanding man I’ve become!		Lifis
Safy	I just know the children will be delighted to have you there. I look forward to seeing how you work with them.

Safy	Good morning, everyone. I am Safy, and I will be helping out around here starting today.
Nice to meet you, kids! If you don’t listen to everything Safy says, you’ll be kidnapped by a pirate!		Lifis
Julian	Lifis... Weren’t you an actual pirate? Are you sure you’re capable of caring for children?
You’re one to talk. I hear you used to be a thief. If you can do this, then it should be easy for me.		Lifis
Chad	Working at an orphanage is more than looking after the children. Carry those boxes to the storage area. Food for everyone is in there, so be sure to handle them with care.
What?! All of this? There’s an awful lot of boxes here.		Lifis
Safy	Are you all right, Lifis? Is this going to be too much for you?
Of course not! This is nothing! I will gladly carry every single one of these. For the kids...		Lifis
Julian	Well, if he’s motivated to do it, then we should let him do it. Now then, I’ll leave all this to you.
Was that the last box? What’s next? Cleaning? Great... Got it. Don’t you worry, everything will be spotless by the time I’m through!		Lifis
Huh? You need me to go to the store? You’ve found the right guy for the job. You need everything in this note? All right, I’ll be back shortly!		Lifis
Chad	Hey, Julian... Was Lifis always this hard a worker?
No, I’m as surprised as you. I seem to recall him complaining about taking part in the pirate festival.		Julian
Safy	Lifis really has had a change of heart. People do change. They are capable of continuing to change, as well. I am quite pleased to see him working so selflessly.
If Safy is happy, then things are good here, don’t you think?		Julian
Chad	I suppose they are.

Lifis	That’s it, the wall is repaired. Another day of hard work completed, just like all the other days!
Fantastic work, Lifis, and it is early still. You are welcome to head home before the rest of us if you like.		Safy
Lifis	I am? All right then, I think I’ll do just that. See you tomorrow!
Yes, I look forward to it.		Safy
Lifis	Heheheh, Safy... She’s falling for my act. It’s so easy to deceive those who insist on seeing good in everyone! I just have to find the right moment to suggest that we go find someplace peaceful to live out our lives together. Then I can flee this wretched Order of Heroes with her by my side! I can endure it a little longer. Once I have her completely hoodwinked, it will be good riddance to Askr!
Good riddance? Really? Such harsh sentiments for this place.		???
Lifis	Huh? Who the hell are you? You had best not be mocking me, the great pirate, Lifis.
Hello, Lifis. It looks like you are doing well.		Perne
Lifis	Argh! What are you doing here? Er, I mean, it’s a surprise to see you, Perne. When did you come to Askr?
I haven’t been here long. Askr is quite a fascinating place though, wouldn’t you agree? I have seen others I knew from Thracia, but I can hardly believe that Crybaby Lifis was called here too.		Perne
Lifis	Ugh! I told the summoner to bring anyone but this muttonhead here, yet here he is...
Hm? Did you say something?		Perne
Lifis	Uh...no, I didn’t say anything!
We must not let this meeting go to waste. Let us get to know each other better here in Askr, shall we?		Perne
Lifis	Uh... Ah...hahaha... That would be, er, well...
Shall we begin with you telling me in detail about this cleric or whoever it is you were just going on about?		Perne
Lifis	Ahh! Why do you have to crack your knuckles to get to know me?!
You should already know that I hate it when people are dishonest and do not honor their word. Before we visit the tavern to catch up, let’s see if I can pummel that into your little brain, shall we?		Perne
Lifis	Wait! Perne, I... Ahh!

Safy	Good morning, Julian. Let us have another lovely day working together.
Good morning, Sister Safy. Thank you for your ongoing help and dedication. We are much better off for it.		Julian
Lifis	Um... Good morning...
Good morning, Lifis! Are you all right?! You look like you ran into a ghost or something.		Julian
Chad	You do seem rather pale, and your cheeks look sunken in. Did you eat something that didn’t settle well?
Tell us—what is the matter? You were so full of energy just yesterday.		Safy
Lifis	I’m fine. It’s nothing...nothing at all... I, Lifis, shall grind my bones to dust working for Askr from now on.
Perhaps you should take the day to rest if you are not feeling well.		Safy
Lifis	N-no, if I shirk my duties, then who knows what awful things might happen to me!
What might happen to you? I do not understand. What does that mean?		Safy
Lifis	D-don’t concern yourself! I’m turning over a new leaf starting today. I am so...so sorry...for everything.
I thought you had already turned over a new leaf? We have been doing our best working together to be of service to the people of Askr.		Safy
Lifis	Yes, I will do my best. Today, and every day...
He’s working even more diligently than he was yesterday.		Chad
Julian	He really does seem to have turned over a new leaf. Were my suspicions about him unfounded?
Perhaps he has found meaning in the work here and has decided to take it even more seriously.		Safy
Chad	Hmmm... Could that be it?
Whatever the reason, if he is going to put this much effort, we can hardly ask for more.		Julian
Safy	People can change if they but have the desire and conviction. I wish to see smiles on the faces of others. I hope the work the Heroes do here spreads joy throughout Askr.
