[Seriously, guys.

Cecil likes travelling. He was looking forward to being on the road. Did you have to teleport him to his destination? Again?

...He'll be amusing himself by switching between paladin and dark knight form for now. It's not like he has anything better to do.]

I can imagine that it would... what a terrible burden.

[paladinlost]

We manage. Everyone else is supportive during those moments.

[dragoon_pride]

It still must take its toll over time.

[paladinlost]

...More than we'd like to admit, most days.

[dragoon_pride]

How terrible. At least during the war we would forget others if they failed to return in a following cycle.

[paladinlost]

...'At least'? Forgetting is a much worse fate than missing loved ones.

[dragoon_pride]

Yet the burden of missing them is gone, isn't it?

[paladinlost]

I'd much rather have both the good and the bad than have neither.

[dragoon_pride]

You're certain about that? No matter how painful it might be?

[paladinlost]

Of course. Those few moments of sweetness are worth everything else.

[dragoon_pride]

I suppose...

[He seems doubtful.]

[paladinlost]

Besides, if I were to forget everyone I've lost, who would I still have?

[dragoon_pride]

No one whatsoever... I guess given that, I can see why you'd not want to lose them in such a way.

[paladinlost]

Once you start forgetting, you stop learning and growing.

[dragoon_pride]

It's not as if we were given a choice about forgetting, in the cycles of war.

[paladinlost]

Which is quite probably why it took us so long to break it.

[dragoon_pride]

Indeed so... we had no idea of its nature, so we didn't truly know how to fight it for a while.

[paladinlost]

I doubt even Chaos' warriors knew how, at first.

[dragoon_pride]

They seemed to catch on quickly, regardless.

[paladinlost]

They had the advantage of victory. That, and the determination to take the world over for themselves.

[dragoon_pride]

Those would serve as useful motivations.

[paladinlost]

Yet they also caused their final loos, in the end.

[dragoon_pride]

Did they, truly?

[paladinlost]

It turns out that having incompatible goals does very little for a team's cohesion.

[dragoon_pride]

Yet sometimes it can be worth it to push each other in new directions.
