All right, then. Enough sparring for today?

Ingrid

Yes, that should suffice!

Catherine

I must say, you've gotten good at seeing through my tricks. I can't mislead you so easily anymore.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I've made it my goal to read your aim and not give away anything through my body language.

Catherine

But in hand-to-hand combat, your form needs work. On the battlefield, even if you lose your weapon, you can't ever stop fighting.

Catherine

Sink your teeth into their throats, kick 'em where it hurts. Do whatever it takes to survive.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Have you ever needed to employ such methods?
link
Catherine
volume_up

Not on the battlefield. I've never been in such a dire situation that I needed to.
link
Catherine
volume_up

But at the tavern, loads of times! With a well-aimed boot, I've brought many a man to his knees.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Hahaha! Haha!
link
Catherine
volume_up

My point is, you can't hesitate to use dirty tactics. You have to grit your teeth and fight back.

Catherine
volume_up

War isn't as pretty as it's made out to be, in all those poems and songs.

Catherine

Sometimes, even as a knight, you have to do things that you might think are beneath you.
link
Catherine
volume_up

You might even have to let innocent bystanders die.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Are you prepared for that, Ingrid? Do you really want to be a knight, knowing what it entails?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I'm prepared to do whatever is requested of me. Come what may.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I will be a knight who loyally serves my king, just as you loyally serve Lady Rhea.
link
Catherine
volume_up

You've got me wrong. I'm loyal to the archbishop, but only up to a point.
link
Catherine
volume_up

I'd do anything in the world for Lady Rhea... except die. If she asked me to die for her, I wouldn't.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Does that sound like a contradiction? Very well. That's just who I am.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

You're right—it does sound like a contradiction. With all due respect, that isn't very knightly of you.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I'm not sure I fully understand...
link
Catherine
volume_up

You will someday. Maybe not for a while, but you will.
link
Catherine
volume_up

In the meantime, just don't die. OK?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I'll try my best.
