[Written with a quill:]

Which writing instruments do you generally favor?

[Written with a ball-point pen:]

Are they the same you could find in your worlds?

[Written with a graphite pencil:]

Also, what are all of these named?



[Written with an ink brush:]

Rydia, I'll need to speak to you.

No more than your arm can leave you. But even if it is within you, it needs not be in control of your thoughts.

I attempt not to let it take over, but... sometimes it's a struggle...

[Written]

[paladinlost]

...Someday, it will stop being one. I'm certain of it.

[Written]

I don't intend to ever stop fighting it, no matter how long it takes to conquer it fully. Even if I'm destined to forever live with the darkness, I'll continue to fight...

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Good. That's the sort of determination you'll need.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you think so.

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Also, patience. A lot of it.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I should be capable of that.

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Even if you go weeks without results?

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

Even if it takes me a lifetime.

[Written]

[paladinlost]

...A whole lifetime might be unnecessary.

[Unless he plans to die against the final boss.]

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[He's not planning on that, whether it'll make any difference...]

...Even so, I'm determined to keep trying no matter how long it takes.

[Written]

[paladinlost]

In that case, I'll look forward to seeing what sorts of results you'll obtain here.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I'll give it my best effort.

[Written]

[paladinlost]

I truly doubt you'd willingly give your worst.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I would never. Although sometimes even giving it one's best can fail...

[Written]

[paladinlost]

But you can tell yourself you've done whatever you could, at least.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I suppose that makes it worth it.

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Or it convinces you to stubbornly keep going.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

It certainly would, for me.

[Written]

[paladinlost]

I expected that response, strangely.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

You did?

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Even the decades cannot get rid of that stubbornness. We spent days killing dragons to obtain a particular lance because of it.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

Good to know that some things don't change.

[He has little desire for major details, but something like that is actually not bad to know.]

[Written]

[paladinlost]

We'll see if that is a good thing when the rest of the group mutinies.
