Felix & Ashe B

Ashe
Why, Lonato?

Ashe
Oh. Hey, Felix.

Felix
I suppose your thoughts are still with Lord Lonato.

Ashe
I'm fine. I'm just frustrated by how little I was able to do.

Ashe
I know he was trying to protect me, but Lonato never really told me anything.

Ashe
In the end, I don't think I understood his feelings at all.

Felix
...

Ashe
You said it yourself. Be more moderate in your passions.

Ashe
To me, he always seemed like a knight out of a story.

Ashe
And I was so caught up in my ideals. I turned a blind eye to his sadness, his hatred...even when they were right in front of me.

Ashe
I guess I'm pretty far from real knighthood, huh?

Felix
Perhaps.

Felix
Yet knowing someone well does not mean you know how they feel.

Felix
Whether family or friend.

Felix
To know someone's sorrow and turn blindly from it... That is the act of a fool.

Felix
But pursuing your ideals is not foolish.

Ashe
But before...you said...

Felix
I said to be moderate in your passions, not to abandon your ideals.

Felix
It's OK to be who you are.

Ashe
Thank you. Hearing you say that means a lot.

Felix
Ah, I almost forgot. You lent me this.

Ashe
Oh, the book I lent you...

Ashe
I'm guessing you hated it.

Felix
Actually, I already knew the story.

Felix
My brother used to read it to me all the time.

Ashe
Must have dug up some old feelings, then?

Felix
I suppose.

Ashe
That's just what I'd expect the knight in the story to say!

Ashe
It's not just the way you talk either. It's who you are as a person, deep down.

Felix
Heh. Well, I think you're like the squire in the book.

Felix
He's only half a knight, but he's bold and gregarious.

Felix
And he always does his best. Don't stop being that half-knight, OK?

Ashe
You got it.

Ashe
I'll become the kind of knight only I can be!
