thirty-seven betrayals // voice

[swordmastering]

Emil. I hope you're awake.

Training will start every morning at four o'clock in Xanadu. Don't be late, because I certainly won't wait around for you to arrive.

Today is an exception, but tomorrow I won't accept tardiness.

I'll be waiting.

[imperialwill]

My- you're so dedicated, Leon.

[swordmastering]

Ah- Natalia.

Of course, it wouldn't do to let my skills rust.

I apologize for my absence at work again, it was a hectic week. I'll be at work today.

[imperialwill]

No, it is quite all right. Your friend Sir Scifo explained it to me when we met.

I'm only glad that you are safe. And I see you have taken Emil under your wing, too.

[swordmastering]

Someone needed to train him. I just happened to be available, that's all.

...You've met Flynn?

[imperialwill]

I certainly hope it works out well.

Oh, yes! I have- under rather unfortunate circumstances, but he is a very kind man.

[swordmastering]

Unfortunate circumstances? Did something happen?

[imperialwill]

Yes. This horrid man appeared out of nowhere to attack me! Sir Scifo and I were able to keep him at bay with minor injuries, thankfully, until he finally fled.

[swordmastering]

Horrid man-

Was his name Yuri, by any chance?

[imperialwill]

Yes, I believe that is what Sir Scifo called him.

[swordmastering]

...I see. So he tried to make you a victim too.

Well, as long as you're alright.

[imperialwill]

Why, of course. I handled the situation quite well, if I do say so myself.

[swordmastering]

So it would seem. Did you injure him?

[imperialwill]

I did, yes. It was thanks to Sir Scifo that he stood still enough for me to hit him accurately.

[swordmastering]

[...might take some sadistic pleasure in that knowledge]

I see. That's good.

[imperialwill]

[...BITCH.]

Did you encounter him as well, Leon?

[swordmastering]

[WHAT. HE'S ALLOWED.]

I did. He's a roommate of mine. I was in pursuit of him for the entire week.
