Hey there, Petra!

Claude? Where...are you?

Where else? Wait, I'll meet you down there...

Claude! I thought you were not able to climb the trees?
link
Claude

True! And that is exactly why I worked like a madman to devise a new climbing technique.
link
Petra

I have much admiration for that! To climb is a skill with value.

Claude

What can I say, I just... OK, so I may have cheated a little. By using my bow to shoot a rope over a branch. Or a few branches. Or all of the branches.

But once I got up there and hauled up the ropes, it was the same result as if I'd climbed it your way!

Petra

I am understanding. That costs more time though, so it is not the best thing for hunting.
link
Petra

But you are not harming the tree, so that is... an advantage. I am liking this technique.

Claude

You're right, I didn't harm the tree at all. I'm surprised that impressed you.

Petra

The tree has a spirit. If you hurt the tree, you will give its spirit anger.

I see. I take it the people of Brigid have a close relationship with nature, then?

Petra

Trees give us food and also shelter. We are needing them, and they are needing us.
link
Claude

True. The people of Fódlan believe everything is a blessing from the goddess. They've forgotten to be grateful to nature too.
link
Claude
volume_up

Nature gives us life. Sustains us. Without it, we couldn't breathe. Couldn't live. It's everything.
link
Claude
volume_up

It's fine to pray to the goddess, but we have to respect nature too. Don't you think?
link
Petra
volume_up

Yes. I do not know this goddess, but I know nature. That is the knowing I prefer to have.

Claude

You and me both.
