I bet. You fresh facers are eager to prove. I was too, my first round. I've got my eye on you four, though, believe you me. I expect big things out of you.
Haha! I like you. [ she says, slapping at his back. ] That's all I need, the best support in the game.
Hey, you know why they call me the Lacking General? [ she doesn't wait for him to answer just barrels forward ] Lacking in worries, lacking in regrets, and lacking in rivals.
[ Wow, he's in the hot seat now. He'll sip his drink, leaning back. ]
Logically? I know I've learned and prepared as much as I can.
Emotionally? [ Well, she asked for honesty. ] There's a bit of doubt I can't chase away about whether I'll be able to rise to occasion when the moment calls for it.
But everything new comes with a little worry, so I think I'm as ready as I can be.
That's how it should be. You can't be brave without a little bit of fear, you know? Otherwise it's just stupidity. Having that awareness is the most important thing for war.
[ she shoves another drink at him. ]
But that's for later! Right now, we drink and be merry. Let's see if you can drink me under the table!

He'll laugh along with her though. Good spirits are so important during times of difficulty. ]
I bet you wear the title well.

[ she says, grinning at him. she's a little less raucous, now, ear flicking. ]
Tell me, Claude - you think you're ready for all of this? Honest, now.
