Whoa! Uh— Hi, Ashe. You seem excited. What's that you're holding?

Ashe

A book I found in town. I bought it for you!

Ingrid

For me? Ashe, this looks very costly. Antique books like this are never cheap...

Ingrid

Wow. The cover is stunning. And the binding is still in fantastic condition.

Ashe

I drove a hard bargain. Still, I'll probably have to cut back on my spending for a while.

Ingrid
volume_up

Why did you go to so much trouble?
link
Ashe
volume_up

It wasn't easy, but as soon as I came across this legend, I knew you had to read it too.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Well then, I will read it. Oh, the knight on the cover looks striking.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Fascinating, right? I was captivated from the moment I laid eyes on the cover.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

There's an aura of stoicism intermingled with beauty—even amid a gruesome battle.

Ingrid
volume_up

Wait! Looking closer at the face... This knight is a woman!
link
Ashe
volume_up

Yes! And she was a real historical figure!
link
Ashe
volume_up

She was born into a noble family and bore a Crest, but she was accepted into the king's service as a knight.
link
Ashe

She fought in many battles at her king's side, serving him all her life as his right hand.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Oh, sorry. I-I've said too much! I didn't mean to spoil the story for you.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I'm just so excited. I hope you enjoy it too.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Thank you for the encouragement, Ashe.
link
Ingrid

Living as a knight is certainly not an easy task.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I know it will mean much pain, strife, and heartache.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

But I still want to pursue that dream. Talking to you has reminded me...
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I'm not the type who gives up easily.
link
Ashe
volume_up

That's the Ingrid I know!
link
Ingrid
volume_up

So to start, I'm going to read this book.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Great. When you're finished, and freshly inspired, we'll talk about becoming knights!
link
Ashe
volume_up

Not the ones in stories either. The real thing!

Ingrid

I look forward to it, Ashe.
