Um, Shamir? How do you figure I did today? In the battle, I mean.

I tried to not get close to the enemy, and I even used some curved shots just like you taught me, and that was pretty good, huh?

Shamir
volume_up

You did well. You maintained a safe distance.

Cyril

"Well"! That's even better than "fine"!
link
Shamir
volume_up

Is that worth celebrating?
link
Cyril
volume_up

Ha! You said I was "fine" before—now you're saying I did well, and that's a big improvement. Especially since everyone knows you're always so strict.

Shamir

I give praise where it's due.
link
Shamir
volume_up

To that point, you've made incredible progress.

Shamir

At first you couldn't even draw a bow.
link
Cyril
volume_up

Um, at first you wouldn't even let me hold a bow.
link
Shamir
volume_up

Hah! Really?
link
Cyril
volume_up

You just gave me a stick with a piece of string tied on it, and you made me practice with that.
link
Cyril
volume_up

Honest, I figured you were bullying me.
link
Cyril
volume_up

I was really, really close to giving up, but then you finally gave me the bow.
link
Cyril
volume_up

I mean it. I was mad. I'd done all the stuff you told me to, and I knew the way I was supposed to stand, and I could pull the string just so, but...
link
Shamir
volume_up

Maybe I was testing you. Seeing if you'd give up.
link
Shamir
volume_up

You're the one who insisted that I teach you archery. I never intended to take you on as my student.
link
Cyril
volume_up

I just wanted to do whatever I could for Lady Rhea. More than just cleaning and chopping wood and such.
link
Cyril
volume_up

I thought maybe I could help with the fighting, but I didn't know anything about swords, and archery was always something that interested me, so...
link
Cyril
volume_up

You really helped me out with my dreams, even though you didn't get anything out of it, and that's really nice of you.
link
Shamir
volume_up

I gain nothing personally, but the whole army benefits if you're skilled.
link
Shamir
volume_up

And those of us from outside of Fódlan should support one another, right?
link
Cyril
volume_up

But it's always been you helping me! I'm gonna keep working real hard with that bow so I can help you back.
