Dimitri! Just the man I was looking for. I wanted to thank you for your help.

Dimitri

My help? I'm not sure what you mean.

Alois

Don't tell me you've forgotten! Your help when the monsters attacked.

Dimitri

Ah, you mean the day you came up with those terribly hilarious jokes.

Alois

Hm. When you put it like that, I feel like you're the one who's kidding.

Alois
volume_up

Even I knew those jokes were awful.

Alois

I was trying to think on my feet, to raise the soldiers' spirits.

Dimitri
volume_up

Well, you certainly succeeded. Our journey home was much easier as a result.

Dimitri

As for myself, I am not much of an orator. I could never have done the same in that situation.

Alois
volume_up

You're the only reason the gags didn't fall flat! If you hadn't started laughing when you did...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Well, I admit the jokes themselves were...perhaps not your best work.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

But there is no harm in that. Even when you stumble, your good humor brightens everyone's mood and wins their trust.
link
Alois
volume_up

Yeah? You think? I never thought about it like that.
link
Alois
volume_up

But if you say so, maybe I do have a knack for this!
link
Dimitri
volume_up

As one who is bound to lead, I could stand to learn a lot from you.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I am often told by both friends and subordinates that I am...without humor.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Alois, if you would be so kind, could you teach me to tell jokes?
link
Alois
volume_up

Sure, I'm happy to help, if you want to be as lousy a joker as I am! You could surely find a better teacher somewhere else. In the stables, for example.

Dimitri
volume_up

No... I would like to learn from you, Alois.
link
Alois
volume_up

I see. Well, I guess I can't say no!
link
Alois
volume_up

I hope you're ready to become a wizard of wit!
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I will endeavor to be a good student.
link
Alois
volume_up

Very good, that's what I like to hear. Soon you'll be cracking wise like there's no tomorrow. Everyone will think you're a pun in the neck!
