Inspiring Beacon/Bors: Ostia's Bastion

Bors: Ostia's Bastion - C

Bors	Gwendolyn! I was looking for you!
That voice... Bors! So you were summoned to Askr too!		Gwendolyn
Bors	You were summoned long before me, from what I have heard. How are you? Well, I hope.
Yes, same as ever! The battles are harsh, but I’ve made it through with help from the Heroes.		Gwendolyn
Bors	Truly? You are unharmed? Are you eating as much as you should? Is your armor properly maintained?
Bors, I’m not a child anymore. You don’t need to worry!		Gwendolyn
Bors	Well then, have you made any friends here?
Bors...		Gwendolyn
Bors	That’s right, if you make any male friends—
Bors! Stop worrying over me! I have training now, so I will talk to you later. Now, excuse me.		Gwendolyn
Bors	Gwendolyn! Ah...and she’s gone. Hmmm... Perhaps I am being rather overprotective? Why else would she keep me at arm's length? Hm? What is going on there?
Luthier, you’re annoying! I swear you only open your mouth to lecture me! The mission’s over! We did our jobs.		Delthea
Luthier	Wait, Delthea! Listen to me until I am done speaking!
Hmmm... It seems he has his hands full as well...		Bors

Bors: Ostia's Bastion - B

Luthier	Delthea! You always overdo it. Learn to show a little restraint!
Restraint? We’re fighting bad people. Are we not? They’re bad, so we don’t need to think so hard! We can just blast them with our magic!		Delthea
Luthier	I’m telling you no! We can’t do that. There are limits to everything. All we need to do is incapacitate. We need not inflict any more pain on our foes than that. And people will fear you if they see you indiscriminately blasting magic. I want you to be someone that everyone loves.
I’m loved plenty. Just look how cute and powerful I am!		Delthea
Luthier	Being fussed over and being loved are totally different things. You’re letting the attention go to your head.
You’re the one letting a few new friends go to your head! I. Do. Not. Need. Your. Lectures! Bye now!		Delthea
Luthier	W-wait, Delthea! We are not done talking! Ugh. She’s already gone. How in the world can I get through to her?
...		Bors
Luthier	Hm? Who are you?
O-oh, I am Bors. I am an armored knight from Elibe. Um... My apologies. I didn’t intend to eavesdrop...		Bors
Luthier	I should be the one apologizing. I put on a rather embarrassing display just now. I pester my sister because I worry for her. But she can’t understand that.
...		Bors

Bors: Ostia's Bastion - A

Bors	It looks like the two of you aren’t getting along very well.
She is my sister, Delthea. I know she isn’t a child. And I admit she is likely the best magic user I know... I should stand back and watch her grow, but I give her unsolicited advice despite myself...		Luthier
Bors	I know how you feel. I worry about my sister, Gwendolyn, too. And I also lecture her more than I would like.
Gwendolyn... The armored knight? The one with pink hair?		Luthier
Bors	You know her?
I’ve never spoken to her, but I see her on the battlefield often. She’s always on the front lines yelling, “We shall honor the name of the knights of Ostia when we fight!”		Luthier
Bors	Th-the front lines?! How reckless...
Reckless? Hardly. She is more than skilled enough to handle herself in that situation. We mages can rest assured we’re safe to fight from the back lines because she’s there protecting us.		Luthier
Bors	R-really?!
I’m not trying to flatter her. I simply speak the truth. She is an armored knight worthy of trust.		Luthier
Bors	I can scarcely believe she’s grown up so much that you would give her such praise... Gwendolyn, I think you’ve gained valuable experience here in Askr...

Bors: Ostia's Bastion - S

Bors	Gwendolyn, good morning. Are you about to start your training?
Good morning, Brother. What’s going on? You seem to be enjoying yourself quite a bit...		Gwendolyn
Bors	Hm? Do I?
Yes, very much so.		Gwendolyn
Bors	I see. So I do...
Now you’re just being odd. If I had to guess, I’d say you’ve come up with a new excuse to stop me from fighting.		Gwendolyn
Bors	Th-that is not true! I have something I want to say to you, Gwendolyn.
And what is that, Bors?		Gwendolyn
Bors	Walk... Walk the path you believe in.
What?		Gwendolyn
Bors	That’s all I wanted to say. Sorry for keeping you. Now, hurry to your training!
O-OK! I’ll be on my way, then. Let’s talk later!		Gwendolyn
Bors	I am cheering for you, Gwendolyn. You are the pride of the knights of Ostia. I shall boast of your exploits!
Hm, I see...		Luthier
Bors	Good morning, Luthier.
Our roles are reversed this time. You have my apologies for listening to your conversation.		Luthier
Bors	No need to apologize.
Gwendolyn stood taller than usual as she went off to the training grounds. Your words made her happy.		Luthier
Bors	I-I hope so...
She seemed pleased to know she had your support. That must be an ideal relationship for a brother and sister to have...		Luthier
Bors	We still have a ways to go. I hope Gwendolyn and I can understand each other better than in the past.
I would like Delthea and myself to learn from your example and grow as well.		Luthier
Bors	Luthier, as two men with younger sisters, what do you say we get to know each other?
Why are you putting out your hand?		Luthier
Bors	For a handshake with a comrade. No. With a friend.
F-friend? Are you saying you will be my friend?		Luthier
Bors	Do you dislike handshakes?
N-no, not at all! It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance! First Alm and Canas, then Zeke, and now a fourth... I’m doing well!		Luthier
Bors	I don’t really understand, but...let’s do our best to help each other be better brothers to our sisters!
