Leonie & Shamir A

Leonie
Guess that's enough for now.

Shamir
You're improving, Leonie. No doubt a result of your new training routine.

Leonie
Right, about that. I've been doing everything you said, but...

Shamir
Something wrong?

Leonie
Not with my archery, but...I'm not getting any better at dealing with bugs.

Leonie
Even with all the practice, I just can't bring myself to look at a real live spider.

Shamir
You're still aiming at the spiders I instructed you to draw? Let me see one.

Leonie
Sure. Here.

Shamir
I— What is this?

Leonie
What do you mean, what is it?! It's a spider!

Shamir
Ah, yes. I-I see now. It's quite— Well, it's— Hahaha!

Leonie
What's so funny?!

Shamir
Haaah! Phew... I'm sorry. I lost my composure for a moment there. Your drawing is absolutely ridiculous.

Leonie
Ridiculous?! That's what they look like, isn't it?!

Shamir
Do you know how many legs a spider has? Or what it's body looks like? Or ever seen one at all?

Leonie
I just told you I can't even look at the little monsters!

Shamir
A lack of subtlety no doubt learned from your former mentor.

Shamir
Regardless, aiming at this target won't help you overcome your fears.

Shamir
Here, use one of my drawings instead. Consider it an apology for my outburst.

Leonie
Ohh... Why'd you have to be so detailed?!

Shamir
This much detail is necessary if you wish to identify your enemy's weak points.

Leonie
Ew, it's too much! I can't stand the sight of it!

Shamir
This is guaranteed to help overcome your fears and improve your archery in the process.

Leonie
So, archery's secondary now, is it?

Shamir
You want to be a peerless mercenary, right? You'll never accomplish that if you're afraid of something as innocuous as a bug.

Leonie
When you put it that way, I guess I'll have to. OK, Shamir, you've talked me into it.

Leonie
First I'll take out the drawings, and then I'll move on to the real thing!

Shamir
Excellent. I look forward to seeing fewer spiders around here.
