Part 948: Lucina A

Ah, Gerome. Perfect timing.

Oh? What for?

We're holding a war council, and I was hoping you might attend.

Sorry. I'm not much for group activity.

A pity. We could benefit from your calm, measured opinions. You have a keen mind for combat as well... Regardless, I will not force you.

I am sorry if I disappoint you. But I know my own limitations. I am not one for plans or speeches. I am a wolf that deals only in death.

Then we have something in common.

We do not. You are a leader who can inspire withboth words and deeds. Though we fight alongside each other in the field, we play different roles.

You sell yourself short, sir.

The right tool for the right job. Isn't that what they say? You provide the inspiration and strategy. I will cut down any who dare oppose you.

There is a certain wisdom to what you say.

Don't sound so surprised... Now, I have some swords to sharpen, and I think you have a council to attend.

Farewell, Gerome. I shall look for you on the battlefield.

You needn't look far- I will stand beside you, as always.
