Alois & Shamir A / houses.fedatamine.com

Shamir, Alois enter the scene

Listen, Shamir. I want to apologize for the conversation we had. I really embarrassed myself.

No need to apologize. I was not bothered.

I just want to make one thing clear. I don't resent my missions as a knight.

I will complete any mission I'm told to carry out.

I know. In fact, you are the most loyal knight I have fought beside.

You are no coward.

I think I am a coward, actually. Every night I fret about ghosts that don't really exist.

I wish I could be as strong as you are. The fact is, I'm weak. There's nothing I can do to change it.

You should not mistake your kindness for weakness.

You contemplate the lives you have taken because you care, even when the emotions may be frivolous.

That is something I am not capable of.

I am not the only one who has noticed. Everyone else sees your kindness and wishes to share in it.

Shamir...

It's OK to hold on to the ghosts of your past. They are part of who you are.

But you cannot let them hold on to you. If you are sad, others will notice and share in that as well.

I see! That makes sense! Optimism!

Cheery old Alois, that's me!

Alois leaves the scene

He recovered quickly, and with surprising energy. Alois has many qualities I could never emulate.

His positive and kind nature gives strength to those around him.

Even to this Dagdan mercenary trying to find her place in an unfamiliar land...

Shamir! Stop lagging, start legging!

Then again, he has many qualities that I do not wish to emulate.
