With Conviction/Roshea: Coyote's Faithful

Roshea: Coyote's Faithful - C

Roshea	Excuse me, but... Do you know where I might find the orphanage?
Oh. And you are?		Ethlyn
Serra	Hm, I don’t think I’ve seen your face before... Do you have some business with the orphanage?
Um, er... I was recently summoned to Askr, and, well... I thought...		Roshea
Lena	Oh, you’re from Aurelis!
Sister Lena... It’s been quite some time! I’m glad to see you are well.		Roshea
Lena	Please relax everyone. He is a true Hero.
Oooh... Sorry about that! We didn’t realize you were also a Hero!		Lissa
Roshea	N-no, the fault is mine for showing up without any warning. But when I heard the Order of Heroes was assisting an orphanage, I decided to see it for myself and offer a hand.
Hey, everyone! I just got some fresh vegetables from Merlinus.		Lugh
Chad	Wait, who’s this guy?
Lugh, Chad. This is Roshea, from the Coyote’s Men. He was summoned to Askr just recently.		Lena
Lugh	Hello, I’m Lugh! Chad and I have been helping out at this orphanage.
Name’s Chad. So, what’s a big shot knight like yourself doing here?		Chad
Roshea	I want to help children who have lost their families in wars, so I donated money to an orphanage back home.
My, that is a noble pursuit.		Ethlyn
Roshea	I would like to help the children in Askr as well, so if there is anything I can do, please...
We’ve got plenty of work that needs doing, and never enough people. So we’d be happy to have you!		Lugh
Chad	Yeah, another set of hands is always welcome, even if it’s just from time to time when you’re free.
Of course! If there’s anything I can do, please just say it and I’ll do everything in my power to help!		Roshea

Roshea: Coyote's Faithful - B

Lugh	What are you reading, Roshea? Is that a...letter?
Indeed. It was sent to me by some children I took care of back in Aurelis. I’m glad I didn’t lose it when I was summoned...		Roshea
Chad	Huh. You were grinning so much, I figured it was from a lover. But this makes way more sense.
Chad, you shouldn’t make light of people like that...		Lugh
Roshea	Those children probably used all the letters they had just learned to write this. To me, it’s a treasure.
We were orphans too, so I think I understand how grateful they are for the kindness you’ve shown them.		Lugh
Roshea	Huh? Wait, you and Chad?
Yeah. And Lugh’s twin, Raigh, is also in Askr. The three of us were raised by an exceptionally good-natured caretaker at an orphanage in Lycia.		Chad
Roshea	So, you’re the same as me then. Everyone in the Coyote’s Men lost their families to war. We were children with no futures ahead of us, but Lord Hardin saw our plight and made knights of us.
He sounds like an incredible person.		Lugh
Roshea	Yes...but the memories I have of those days still haunt me. Sometimes I have dreams—memories of nights in the cold, crying myself to sleep as I slowly wasted away. So, whenever I feel like I’ve reached my limit, I read this letter. Even if I can’t be like Lord Hardin, I can still save those children from ever experiencing something like that.
If nothing else, it’s pretty obvious to me that you’re a good guy. And...I can also tell that you see the world the same way we do.		Chad

Roshea: Coyote's Faithful - A

Roshea	...I appreciate your kind words, but others have called me a hypocrite. And to be honest, I see their point. After all, for as much as I talk about wanting to help children, I still go out and kill on the battlefield.
...		Lugh
Roshea	Perhaps...all of my efforts were nothing more than a way to flee from my guilt.
What’s wrong with that?		Chad
Roshea	...Huh?
Hypocrisy or not... Thanks to you, those children are taken care of, and even learned how to read and write. The only reason we’ve been able to survive this long was because of people like you—people who helped.		Chad
Roshea	...
When we were still in the orphanage, a war broke out, and all the food and clothing were seized as supplies. We had nothing. So I started begging behind our caretaker’s back, and what I couldn’t get by begging, I stole. If I hadn’t done that...we would have all starved to death. But you wanna know something? Those people who criticized others and called them hypocrites? They didn’t do a damn thing to help.		Chad
Lugh	Chad...
Whatever may have been eating them up inside, we’re alive today thanks to the people who gave us bread to eat.		Chad
Lugh	Right. All it took back then was some bread and warm clothes to wear to make us smile. Roshea, I’m sure your feelings have gotten through to those children.
...Thank you. I hope you’re right.		Roshea

Roshea: Coyote's Faithful - S

Lugh	It is a Hero’s duty to fight against the enemies who threaten Askr’s peace... But isn’t it also our duty to extend a hand to those who suffer in the aftermath of our battles?
Indeed, I feel the same way. When I watch the clerics who care for the orphanage, I can see the depths of their determination. They do battle on the battlefield, the same as us, but their most important duties are off of it.		Roshea
Chad	If you ask me, we should just hurry up and put an end to wars so more kids don’t have to end up like us.
That would be nice... And I suspect Raigh feels the same way. That’s probably why he spends so much time on his arcane research.		Lugh
Chad	Oh, c’mon. Don’t you think you’re giving him a little too much credit? We both know he’d do that anyway.
Haha... I don’t like to battle, but if it’s to protect children, I will give it everything I have. Lugh, Chad, will you fight alongside me from now on?		Roshea
Lugh	Of course! I’m happy to have met a kind person like you here in Askr.
...I still do not believe I will ever be a hero as great as Lord Hardin, but... There are children in this world who have lost everything, and I want to bring smiles to their faces. That, I believe, is my way of repaying my debt to Lord Hardin. A future overflowing with the smiles of children, not their tears... That is what I will ride for.		Roshea
