You weren't... Were you all... a Queen's Guard?

[ he has not sure he has the vocabulary for what he witnessed ]

[fightolive]

We were called the Iron Calvary.

[noirges]

And you served... "Her Majesty"? Were you defending your home...? Or?

[fightolive]

We were defending Glamoth from the Swarm. We served Her Majesty, Empress Titania.

[noirges]

Do you love her?

[ the one she serves ]

[fightolive]

I think I used to.

[noirges]

What changed...?

[fightolive]

I started wondering... why do we fight? Why do we live?

Did we really exist only to die?

[noirges]

[ breathes in ]

... you shouldn't. If that's the conclusion you came to then... I hope you were able to leave her service.

You should have a life outside of death.

[fightolive]

It's been a very long time since I've been part of the Iron Cavalry. These days I'm trying to find what my life should be.

[noirges]

[ he smiles gently ]

Have you found any leads? With your new companions.

[fightolive]

Hmm... I really like eating sweets. That's definitely a start.

[noirges]

What's your favorite?

[ do you want a return mem, mira ]

[fightolive]

There's this oat cake roll in Penacony that's delicious. I haven't had anything like it before.

[yes, please. Dealer's choice!]

[noirges]

Oh? Maybe we can find something similar here... or is that too wishful thinking?

[ but the mirrors shift!

As if calling out to one's beloved... ]

[fightolive]

[ She watches the mirrors, because there's nowhere else to look. ]

Yves... Is this how you died?

[noirges]

Um...

Well, my heart did stop. [ to be honest ] But Adolphe somehow revived me! Even if it meant breaking some of my ribs.

I think I did technically die a little bit though, even though I don't remember going into the light or anything.

[fightolive]

[ This is how people die!!! ]

... I'm glad you managed to live through it, but that seems really painful.

[noirges]

Oh, um...

I guess so?

[fightolive]

You guess so?

[A strange thing to say.]

[noirges]

I guess I don't remember it that clearly after the explosion... I woke up and I was shocked to even make it.

They bandaged me up head to toe after that.

[fightolive]

Please be a little bit more careful from here...

[noirges]

I'll try but... sometimes I move before I can even think about it.

[ savior complex ]

[fightolive]

... I understand that.
