Alois enters the scene

Alois! I was hoping you could tell me some more stories about Captain Jeralt.

You'd like to hear about Jeralt's adventures? You seem quite taken with these stories, Leonie.

Can't hurt, can it? All our work for the day is done.

So, remind me...how did you meet him?

Ah! It all feels like ancient history now. You see, the captain was visiting the Kingdom of Faerghus.

Uh-huh. Go on.

His previous squire had died from a ghastly plague.

Then one day, he came upon me and appointed me his new squire.

At that age, you must have had some real talent and courage to stand out as a future knight!

Oh, no, it wasn't that. I was just an orphan boy living in the monastery. I was a timid little thing.

Really? He didn't choose you for your bravery?

What made him choose you, then?

My face looked like the dead boy's.

What? That's it?!

I asked the captain and that was the only answer he gave me.

Ha! Abrasive to the last! That's Captain Jeralt for you!

Yes. In those early days, I would sometimes wonder whether he was right in the head.

When I saw him on the battlefield, though, those concerns were laid to rest.

Anyway... I think I hear your professor has been looking for you. You'd better scram.

Oh no, you're right! I'd better go. See you around!
