It's over. Not better. It doesn't get better here. Never has. It's the same things over and over. You would think you'd get used to it. Why haven't people gotten used to it?

... [And then, as if it's very painful to say.] I don't miss them anymore.

[...]

Pain and fear never get any easier; just dimmer for the strong willed.

[adventlead]

Does that mean...I'm strong willed?

[betrayedblade]

If you manage.

[adventlead]

I will. I have nothing to look back on.

[betrayedblade]

Then you shall find out.

[adventlead]

Just watch me! I'll prove it to you!

[betrayedblade]

[He chuckles darkly.] Of course, giovane.

[adventlead]

Do you doubt me?

[betrayedblade]

Do I have reason to?

[adventlead]

No! Because I'm the greatest warrior ever. I'm not scared of anything or anyone so nothing can stop me for long!

[betrayedblade]

Then as you say, giovane.

[adventlead]

...Your language. It's...teach me.

[betrayedblade]

If you like. And what will I get in return?

[adventlead]

The satisfaction of making me less stupid?

[betrayedblade]

[He chuckles.]

A spar. Before every lesson.

[adventlead]

Okay, but don't expect me to go easy on you!
