Ferdinand, Petra enter the scene

Taking care of some weapon maintenance, Petra? You seem completely absorbed.
link
Petra
volume_up

Yes. Taking care of the weapons has great importance.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

I cannot argue with that. That weapon there... is it from Brigid?
link
Petra
volume_up

No, it is a weapon of Dagda. But the people of Brigid use...I mean, used them often.

Ferdinand
volume_up

Fascinating! I have read about the weapons of Dagda, but this is my first time seeing one in person.
link
Petra
volume_up

Lots of weapons and fighting techniques came from Dagda to Brigid.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Ah, so Dagda to the west had a big influence on the Brigid archipelago...
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

I am fascinated by foreign fighting techniques. Would you consider teaching me sometime?
link
Petra
volume_up

I will. But it is difficult to explain fighting with words. We can try sparring, maybe?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Yes, a practical demonstration! I would be quite grateful.
link
Petra
volume_up

Let's have our beginning, then!
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Perhaps we should stop there...
link
Petra
volume_up

Oh? Do you think you have understanding of the fighting techniques from Dagda?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Yes, now that I have experienced it firsthand. I used to look down on foreign fighting styles, but I was clearly remiss.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

The footwork, the nimble way you shift your weight, is extraordinary. I will have to remember those moves for the next time I am in battle.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Clearly, you have honed your skills through practice. Your fist felt as sharp as a spear.
link
Petra
volume_up

Brigid is stuck in between Dagda and Fódlan. It is of much importance to hone our fighting techniques.
link
Petra
volume_up

I am of the royal family, but I am a warrior before that. I must fight to live and to protect my home.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

When the alliances of Brigid and Dagda encroached on the Empire, they were always driven back.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

But perhaps the Empire's victory was due to geographic advantage or divine intervention rather than military superiority.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Having met you, that is what I think.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

I cannot help but feel a little disgraced. I held foreign fighting styles in such low regard without ever seeing them for myself.
link
Petra
volume_up

When I came to Fódlan...I felt disgraced from many things that I learned.
link
Petra
volume_up

But there is no disgrace in losing ignorance. We need to be learning and growing with each other, always.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Yes, by working together we can make progress. And both sides need to look ahead, to the future.
