Ignatz & Leonie A+

Leonie
Hey, Ignatz. Drawing again?

Ignatz
I am. I suppose that's rather irresponsible, as we're in the midst of a war.

Ignatz
But ever since we last spoke, I've felt keen to pursue my artistic aspirations.

Leonie
Like I said, it's your calling. Don't feel bad about it.

Ignatz
All right, I'll try to embrace it! And you, are you practicing archery today?

Leonie
More just double-checking this bowstring. I want to make sure it's ready for the next battle.

Ignatz
OK. Well, let's both do our best!

Leonie
That's the spirit. Does that mean you've finally accepted you're an artist?

Ignatz
I'll try to discuss it with my parents after the war. There's little demand for knights in peacetime.

Ignatz
In fact, painting might be a more reliable way for me to support my family. I'll try to persuade them with arguments along those lines.

Leonie
Good point! I'm glad you've got some confidence.

Ignatz
Come to think of it, Leonie, what will you do when the war is over?

Leonie
Me? I'm going to become a top-tier mercenary.

Ignatz
A mercenary in peacetime?

Leonie
Even after the war's over, there'll be plenty of work for me to do before peace really takes hold.

Leonie
I'll pay what I owe my village back, with interest. After that, I don't know. Never thought about it.

Ignatz
I'm sure you can do whatever you put your mind to.

Leonie
Hardly. Lots of options just don't suit me. I mean, could you imagine me as a songstress?

Leonie
But yeah, I don't know. Once I've paid off my debts, I guess I'll just have to find something new.

Ignatz
I don't think there's any rush. You can travel and relax and think about it.

Leonie
Travel, huh? There's an idea. Want to come with?

Ignatz
Huh? Me?

Leonie
Sure. You were really excited about different styles across the world, weren't you?

Leonie
Don't you want more of that? Maybe even see the sky in a new shade?

Ignatz
Yes, I suppose I do. I'd like to see the whole world.

Leonie
If your parents object, we'll just say I kidnapped you.

Leonie
Actually, feel free to say that even if you go alone.

Ignatz
Oh, no. I want us to see the world together. Your presence makes every landscape more beautiful.

Leonie
Hey, hold on! What's this all of a sudden?!

Ignatz
Oh, uh, that's not what I meant!

Leonie
Haha! You're hilarious, Ignatz.

Leonie
There's never a dull moment with you around.
