Hey, Professor. How's life treating ya?

Sylvain

Hey, Professor. You're looking lovely as ever.

Sylvain

Are you working today? You gotta take a day sometime. Get out in the world and have some fun.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Right? Sometimes you gotta forget all the things you oughta do and focus on what you'd rather do.

Sylvain

Hey, we should go get something to eat. My treat.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Aw, come on, Professor. Let me buy you something to eat. Relax for a couple hours at least.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Ah, fine. You're missing out though.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

What? I can't invite my professor to dinner without it being a scam? Heh! I...ah... OK, fine. You got me.

Sylvain
volume_up

I need to ask a favor, and I wanted a way to work up the courage to ask you.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

No, for once it's not about a girl.

Sylvain
volume_up

There are thieves in my family's territory. I was wondering if you'd go with me to drive 'em off.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

You remember the thief leader you fought at Conand Tower, yeah?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Yes, Miklan. He was the oldest son of House Gautier.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

That's right. Although he's dead now...
link
Sylvain
volume_up

What's left of his band of thieves is causing trouble in Gautier territory.

Sylvain

My father has asked me to come home and put down those murderous jerks.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

But he's asked for me to come alone—no knights, no backup of any sort. That's crazy, right?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Because he thinks he'd lose face asking the church for help.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I don't know. He could have asked another trusted house to send troops, but he only asked me.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

And the way my father is...he probably has some other motive that I'll never know.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Maybe he just wants me to get some more experience in battle. Crazy way to suggest it though.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Anyway, I'm not going alone, no matter what he asks. I'm going to ask some of the others in our class to help too.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

But none of us have your experience. If you'd come with us, I'd be grateful.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Great! I'll talk to the others and see who's in. Thanks, Professor!
link
Sylvain
volume_up

OK. I understand. I did kind of just drop that question on you, huh?
link
Sylvain

If you change your mind though, let me know. I'll be around for a bit.
