Felix & Flayn A

Flayn
Felix!

Felix
You. What is it now?

Flayn
Do not fret. I have not come to ask you to chop wood. I have other things to speak of with you.

Flayn
You said that for one to live, they must also be prepared to kill.

Felix
This again... Yes, that's what I said. You still have a problem with that?

Flayn
No, I do not have a problem with it at all. I simply want you to live too.

Felix
Oh. OK. Then I'll get back to my training.

Flayn
Excuse me. I am not finished yet.

Flayn
During this time of war, you must wield your sword to ensure your own life.

Flayn
If that is the case, then it follows that we should bring an end to this war.

Felix
To end the war, you'd have to kill more people.

Flayn
Perhaps that is true.

Flayn
But once all is said and done, there would no longer be a need to kill, only to live. Is that not so?

Felix
...

Felix
That's pure fantasy. But if it came to pass, there would be no place for me.

Felix
What would I do? I was raised to swing a sword. It's all I know.

Felix
In a world without strife, warriors like me would be lost souls.

Felix
It's tragic in a way. We fight to bring peace and then, if we achieve it, we lose our purpose.

Flayn
I do not think that is anything you should worry yourself over.

Flayn
If the war ends and peace reigns, I shall be sure to have plenty of wood chopping for you to do!

Felix
What a generous offer.

Flayn
And! You will never be short on fruits and vegetables to chop for me either!

Flayn
If you felt like you lost your purpose in life, surely you would find a new purpose.

Flayn
It is not like you to be afraid of losing something, after all.

Felix
Hm.

Felix
I never thought about it, but maybe there is a path for me in peacetime.

Felix
I'm intrigued.

Felix
I might even like to realize this fantasy of yours.

Flayn
Oh, that brings me such joy, Felix! Together, we can make this a reality.

Flayn
I can see it now—a life where you slice vegetables rather than people.

Flayn
I will greatly enjoy the day when we inhabit a world like that.
