- That would have been reckless. I think even the Empress wouldn't have spared you for that. - He lowered his head, looking away, which was uncharacteristic of him. - I admit, it was my fault.
-- I understand you. You wanted to please me, and besides, it was a matter of pride. To do everything alone, at the highest level. To show that in your element, you have no equal. That you don't just wear a tailored suit for show, -- at that moment, she carefully hands him perfume. -- Just as I, time and time again, crave an uncompromising victory on the battlefield.
-- But you forgot something important. This important thing is that you are no longer alone. You don't need to do everything yourself, and if there were any concerns, any need to expand the search area, or to kill underground mutant rats, or simply to light your way, I was ready at any moment and could easily mobilize anyone.
-- When I first came to Margel to pay homage to the Overlord, she told me that one is not a warrior in the field, and I had spent almost half my life wandering alone with short breaks. I stopped considering myself part of a team a long time ago, and, to be honest, I was even a little arrogant. "I can manage them, of course, but it will all come to what usually happens," I thought. But now you know, I would have been lying in a grave more than once if I didn't have such reliable allies. Like them – and like you. We need each other, Am, if we want to become what we hope to be, an unwavering example for everyone.
Fyr's quiet, heartfelt speech paused, and a smile showed that there was no trace of anger left.
-- The main thing is that you are okay. Perhaps, I will ask you to share your adventures, out of interest, and because I haven't given up on this matter yet, although I won't return to it at the cost of anxiety.
She herself set an example by telling a little about herself:
-- And, by the way, good morning. It's amazing, the sun has risen, and no one has attacked us, neither singularities nor the undead. We fought one, together with the tournament guys. I had to use my leadership talent and vocal cords... It was dangerous, but nothing. Stallia knocked me unconscious and wanted to take me (and two others) with her, but in the end, it turned out a little differently. And then you and I won the couples competition. See? -- she frowned again. -- The strength of our bond was especially appreciated, which confirms everything I said.
She fell silent, giving him time to process everything.
