That crumbly old chapel somewhere nearby or what?

Constance
volume_up

I can play little part here, save perhaps as a bargaining chip for our dear Aelfric...
link
Ashe
volume_up

Getting yourself captured instead? That wouldn't be good at all, Constance!

Hapi
volume_up

I think we should be more worried about B's... appearance. I mean, he's got way, WAY more, uh...life experience than the rest of us.
link
Hapi
volume_up

And all that life experience makes you look more like a knight than a student, B.

Balthus
volume_up

You saying I'm old, pal? Don't forget you're speaking to the Ageless King of Grappling.
link
Hilda
volume_up

She's not wrong, Baltie. There's a pretty big age gap between you two.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

You're friends with Hilda's older brother, right? That explains your...maturity. You make Hubert look like a spring chicken.
link
Balthus
volume_up

Can it, will ya? Anyway, I'm wearing a school uniform. No way in hell they'll think I'm a knight.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Yeah, and anyone wearing a school uniform is without a doubt a student.
link
Ashe
volume_up

To be honest, for a good while, I actually did think you might be a knight...
link
Ashe
volume_up

Who made your uniforms and set up the Ashen Wolf House, anyhow?
link
Constance
volume_up

If I might so humbly interject, that would be Aelfric.
link
Yuri
volume_up

He pulled everything together for us...some time after he was appointed as the guardian of Abyss.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Said he wanted to give former students who were expelled from the academy somewhere to live. Somewhere to belong.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Of course, all of this was established long before any of us were in the picture.
link
Ashe
volume_up

It does. Whatever his aims, it seems he has quite a few noble qualities.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Perhaps. After hearing all of that, it's not as unbelievable as I'd thought.
link
Hapi
volume_up

All I know is that he helped me, so I'll help him.
link
Constance
volume_up

I strongly doubt that I shall factor into Aelfric's retrieval, but I shall follow your lead.
link
Balthus
volume_up

There it is. We owe Aelfric. Maybe your goddess doesn't care about debts, but my fists and I sure do.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Sorry to have roped you into all this, friend.
link
Yuri
volume_up

We owe you. Just stick with us a bit longer, won't you?
link
Balthus
volume_up

What a pal! The Ashen Wolves really landed an A+ professor. Not just on paper, but in practice too.
link
Balthus
volume_up

This is great! Has me ready to get to it and start hitting things.

Yuri
volume_up

How cheeky. Me? Never. Although...
link
Yuri
volume_up

Ever since I was a kid, I've lived my life by one rule—that I'd only play my hand if I was guaranteed victory.
link
Yuri
volume_up

I've gotten this far by using my cunning in any way necessary—lying, cheating, even killing when there was no other way...
link
Yuri
volume_up

But this next play? Well, the odds don't exactly seem to be in my favor.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Not unless you trust me enough to provide me with an ace...
link
Yuri
volume_up

Heh. Never you mind, friend. Let's just go.
