kizunatalk025_msg0002 |
84 |
So there you are, Mòrag. |
| 3 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0003 |
84 |
...Is something wrong? |
| 4 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0004 |
84 |
No, not at all.
I've just been thinking. |
| 5 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0005 |
84 |
...Any particular worries? |
| 6 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0006 |
84 |
Ah, it's just...
My brother. |
| 7 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0007 |
84 |
Emperor Niall? Is he OK? |
| 8 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0008 |
84 |
I'm...concerned he'll wear himself out. |
| 9 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0009 |
84 |
The Emperor is quite young, isn't he... |
| 10 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0012 |
84 |
Yes. The weight of responsibility
is a heavy burden for someone his age... |
| 11 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0013 |
84 |
Have you two spoken recently? |
| 12 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0014 |
84 |
Well, as Special Inquisitor, I send him
reports almost daily... |
| 13 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0015 |
84 |
No, I mean, just...
talk, like siblings do. |
| 14 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0016 |
84 |
Chat about family stuff, things like that. |
| 15 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0017 |
84 |
Talk like siblings do...? |
| 16 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0018 |
84 |
It may shock you, but neither me nor
the Emperor are great at small talk. |
| 17 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0019 |
84 |
Don't overthink it. |
| 18 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0020 |
84 |
You can talk about anything,
so long as it's not work. |
| 19 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0021 |
84 |
You should just go drop in. |
| 20 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0022 |
84 |
Ah, the Emperor is a very busy person... |
| 21 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0023 |
84 |
Engaging in idle chit-chat with me...
That would be a waste of his time. |
| 22 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0024 |
165 |
How do I respond? |
| 23 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0025 |
164 |
Surely he'd be happy to see his big sis. |
| 24 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0026 |
164 |
Sounds like you don't want to see him... |
| 25 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0101 |
84 |
Surely even the great Emperor Niall
would be happy to see his big sis! |
| 26 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0102 |
84 |
...Thank you, Pyra. |
| 27 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0103 |
84 |
Alas, my brother and I are
hardly your average family. |
| 28 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0104 |
84 |
His Imperial Majesty and his retainer,
the Special Inquisitor... |
| 29 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0105 |
84 |
Our stations differ greatly,
as do our ways of life. |
| 30 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0106 |
84 |
We couldn't possibly expect to talk
like normal siblings... |
| 31 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0107 |
84 |
Oh, give me a break!
You think your "stations" trump your
relationship as brother and sister? |
| 32 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0108 |
84 |
Mythra?! When did you- |
| 33 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0109 |
84 |
I couldn't listen to you anymore. |
| 34 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0110 |
84 |
You're family, aren't you?
You and Emperor Niall. |
| 35 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0111 |
84 |
Emperor or not, he's your brother,
first and foremost. |
| 36 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0112 |
84 |
What more is there to think about? |
| 37 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0113 |
84 |
...Even so...
It has been a long time since we've
acted as siblings... |
| 38 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0114 |
84 |
Look at me and Pyra. We haven't
exactly been in touch all that much. |
| 39 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0115 |
84 |
And now? We're rock-solid. |
| 40 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0116 |
84 |
That's not exactly... |
| 41 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0117 |
84 |
Shut it! |
| 42 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0118 |
84 |
You being worried about your brother
makes you family enough. |
| 43 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0119 |
84 |
Your stations don't come into it! |
| 44 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0120 |
84 |
Just woman up and be
a good sister already! |
| 45 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0121 |
84 |
M-mhm... |
| 46 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0122 |
84 |
Maybe you're right... |
| 47 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0123 |
84 |
Of course I'm right. Obviously. |
| 48 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0124 |
84 |
Just enjoy some time with your little
bro and spoil him rotten. That's it. |
| 49 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0125 |
84 |
...Very well. Then I will strive to be
the sister Niall deserves. |
| 50 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0126 |
84 |
You better be ready the next time you
two meet. |
| 51 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0127 |
84 |
I will...
I promise. |
| 52 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0128 |
84 |
Finally, we've made some progress. |
| 53 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0129 |
84 |
You and Rex both get so stuck in your
heads, it's infuriating. |
| 54 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0130 |
84 |
Ha...
Thanks for the pep talk, Mythra. |
| 55 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0131 |
84 |
You're very welcome. |
| 56 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0201 |
84 |
Hang on. Mòrag, could it be that
you don't want to see him? |
| 57 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0202 |
84 |
No, that's not it. |
| 58 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0203 |
84 |
I would like to spend time with him,
no question. |
| 59 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0204 |
84 |
But I'm afraid our respective stations
would get in the way... |
| 60 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0205 |
84 |
Stations...?
You mean because he's Emperor? |
| 61 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0206 |
84 |
Indeed. |
| 62 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0207 |
84 |
When my little brother took the throne,
I volunteered to become his shield. |
| 63 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0208 |
84 |
It was then that we cut the
familial bonds between us. |
| 64 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0209 |
84 |
You poor thing... |
| 65 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0210 |
84 |
Please don't misunderstand.
I do not regret choosing this life. |
| 66 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0211 |
84 |
To protect my brother, and all of
Mor Ardain... There is no higher joy
for me. |
| 67 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0212 |
84 |
... |
| 68 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0213 |
84 |
...As a Blade, I have no family.
But I do long for the kind of relations
that a family brings. |
| 69 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0214 |
84 |
You and Emperor Niall are already
connected, and more closely than
you might think. |
| 70 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0215 |
84 |
But still, you don't go to
see him...? Why? |
| 71 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0216 |
84 |
Surely there wouldn't be any harm
in just talking and enjoying each
other's company? |
| 72 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0217 |
84 |
In all honesty...there's
nothing I'd want more. |
| 73 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0218 |
84 |
... |
| 74 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0219 |
84 |
I think Emperor Niall would enjoy
a chance to talk with you, too. |
| 75 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0220 |
84 |
I mean, isn't that what family's about? |
| 76 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0221 |
84 |
I don't think bonds can be cut
as easily as that, you know? |
| 77 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0222 |
84 |
I...that is... |
| 78 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0223 |
84 |
Just try. Go see him. |
| 79 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0224 |
84 |
Emperor, retainer...
That isn't what counts. |
| 80 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0225 |
84 |
You don't need some special reason
to go talk to your brother, Mòrag! |
| 81 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0226 |
84 |
And I bet he'd appreciate it, too. |
| 82 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0227 |
84 |
Hah. Indeed.
It may well be as you say. |
| 83 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0228 |
84 |
It's possible that I was the one who
built a wall between us. |
| 84 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0229 |
84 |
You know where to start, right?
Tear down that wall! |
| 85 |
|
kizunatalk025_msg0230 |
84 |
Yes. I'll do my best.
Thank you, Pyra. |
