Whoa! Easy there, big guy. I'm fragile, you know.

Stand back, Hilda! I've got this!

Whew. Thanks for the help, Baltie. Are you OK?

Balthus

What, this? It's noth— Argh!

Hilda

Ouch. You didn't have to do that, you know. I didn't ask you to get yourself beaten up.

Hilda

If I thought I might have to break a sweat, I'd have gotten out of there myself.

Balthus

I know, I know. But I can't help but worry when I see you in a tight spot.

Balthus

Holst told me to keep an eye on you and all. It's the least I can do.

Hilda
volume_up

Huh. I didn't realize you were still in touch with my brother.
link
Balthus
volume_up

Nah, this was ages ago. Told me if anything happened to him, it was up to me to look after you.

Hilda

What could possibly happen to Holst? He's indestructible.
link
Balthus
volume_up

True. But what would he think if I let you get hurt when I could've saved you? Not on my watch, pal.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Ha, good point. He'd kill you.
link
Balthus
volume_up

It's a real concern. I may be the Renowned King of Grappling, but I still wouldn't want to take on Holst.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Haha! He'd tear you to pieces... But if you did get killed trying to protect me, Holst would be crushed.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Not as crushed as if something happened to me. But still, he'd be broken up about it.
link
Balthus
volume_up

Maybe so. But in that case, at least he wouldn't think I'd messed up.
link
Balthus
volume_up

As much as I believe in Holst, he also believes in me.
link
Balthus
volume_up

Because of that, I won't ever let him down. And on that note...
link
Balthus
volume_up

Even if you think I'm in over my head, don't worry about it. I'd like for you to believe in me too.
link
Hilda
volume_up

I can't stop worrying about you on command. That's not how worrying works.
link
Balthus
volume_up

Heh, fair. But I do what I do because I want to. If it lands me beneath the dirt sooner than later, well, save your tears for my funeral.

I hate when people talk about death like it's no big deal. Try to keep your stupid heart beating, all right?
