Perfect timing, Professor. If you don't mind, I have a favor I'd like to ask of you.
link
What's the favor?
link
Dimitri

It's in regard to sword training. Not for myself, but... Well...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

To be honest, I've been teaching swordsmanship to the orphans at the monastery for a while now.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I must agree. Frankly, I'm not great with children.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Some of them saw me sparring with the knights one day.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

They started pestering me to teach them. They were so earnest... I couldn't help but oblige.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

There's much I wish to show them, but due to my own studies and training, I'm afraid my time is rather limited.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Which brings me to my favor. Your swordsmanship is unmatched. I hate to ask this of you, but... Would you consider lending me a hand?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Thank you, truly. I am in your debt. And I always repay my debts, I'll have you know.

Dimitri

All of these children lost their families and homes to war or illness.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

This may sound a bit arrogant, but...I feel it's my responsibility to help them.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I lost my parents without warning too. In that way, we're the same.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

In Duscur, I lost my father, stepmother, and closest friends. I didn't have many allies at the castle after that.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

In truth, I had only Dedue for companionship.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I'm afraid not. My birth mother fell ill and died shortly after I was born. And my uncle... suffice to say we don't get along.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I once had people I could confide in. Family, friends, instructors, even the royal soldiers.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

But they were all taken away from me four years ago.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Ah, but there were those outside the castle walls I was close to. Such as Rodrigue!
link
Rodrigue?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Heh, pardon my rudeness. I meant Lord Rodrigue. He is my father's old companion, and the father of Felix.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

On the occasions he would visit the capital, he'd take me out hunting or on long horse rides.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

While Dedue is like a brother to me, Rodrigue is more like a second father.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

It might sound ridiculous, but...he's the kind of man I hope to become one day.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Someone who helps others... Someone who can reach out and save a lost soul.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Oh... Please accept my apologies for boring you with my life story.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

In any case, don't forget your promise, Professor. I'm counting on you.
