Part 793: Kjelle C

Gah! Kjelle, I didn't expect to run into you here!

Is that a problem?

What? N-no! Of course not, I just...

Worried I heard you ran from battle again like a craven dastard? ...Because I have.

What? I don't remember doing that...

Sure, play dumb!

I'm not playing anything! When I'm in the middle of all that... war, I kind of panic. My memory's all hazy.

Isn't that convenient?

No, I'm just... This isn't...

Uh huh. And you can't so much as set foot on a battlefield without blacking out. I'd love to see you in my training armor. I bet you couldn't take a single step.

Er, is training armor different from your usual set?

A bit. It's a custom job.

Well, whatever is different, it sure looks sturdy. Must work wonders for you!

...Don't tell me you actually want to try it on.

Well, sure! If it helped you get that strong, of course I'm interested!

.....

So... can I? I bet if I had the right armor and knew I was protected, I'd be less scared in combat.

...Forget it. If I had the free time to spend babysitting you, I'd spend it training.

Aw, come on! Please? You're the one who brought it up in the first place.

Yes, but... Ugh, fine.

I can?! Yesss!

I'll bring it by later.

Thanks, Kjelle!
