Wil & Rath



C Support

Wil: Rath! Hey! It’s been a while! You disappeared the second we all got to Castle Caelin! We worried about you!
Rath: ……
Wil: I ended up enlisting with Caelin. I’m still just a squire, but… still, I’ve come a long way! Oh, now that I think of it, did you hear that the soldiers of Laus attacked the castle? It was rough! They even took Lord Hausen!
Rath: …I know. I heard…from Lyn.
Wil: So you met Lady Lyndis? Of course! That’s why you’re here! Hahaha… I’m such an idiot… So…what have you been up to since then?
Rath: ……Same as before. Fighting as a mercenary, biding my time…
Wil: Huh? Biding your time? What is that supposed to mean?
Rath: ……
Wil: I-I’m sorry! I just asked without thinking!
Rath: It’s all right…
Wil: Say… Since we found each other and all… How about fighting together? Come on! We make a good team! What do you say?
Rath: Yeah…sure.
Wil: All right! This is going to be great! Hey, I’ll go see Merlinus and stock up on arrows! I’ll bring some for you, too! Just wait right here!
Rath: ……

Wil: So, the archers of Sacae, they’re all mounted, aren’t they? I’d have trouble just staying on… If I had to shoot, too, I’d be in trouble!
Rath: …The beasts of Sacae are swift… If we could not shoot from the saddle, we would starve…
Wil: Hmm… I guess so. I just grew up in such a quiet little town… Our traps were always full, and we never wanted for rabbit.
Rath: ……
Wil: That’s why I’m not so swift on the field. I can shoot pretty well, of course, but before I know it, the enemy’s behind me… I hate to think on it! That’s why it’s so good to have a partner! I mean, you’re amazing! You can shoot from far away, and you always know the enemy’s numbers and positions…
Rath: ……
Wil: I tell you, I may not be the best archer… But I want to get better… so I can help Lady Lyndis… If I could just be half as good as you…
Rath: You are… strange.
Wil: Huh?
Rath: You are so quick to doubt yourself… You show others your weakness… Are you not afraid?
Wil: Afraid…? No, of course not! I mean, we’re not strangers! We’re friends, right? Allies?
Rath: ……
Wil: Right?
Rath: …… …Yes, we are. But… Wil… You are still… strange.
Wil: Huh? W-Why? Nonsense. I’m normal! I might as well be Normal Archer number three!
Rath: …Number three? Why three?
Wil: Well… No reason, I guess. It just seemed…pretty normal.
Rath: ……
Wil: Rath? Hey, wait up!

Rath: …Don’t hold your reins… Loosen your knees…
Wil: Whoa! Like…this?
Rath: Yes. Now slide forward, just like that.
Wil: Huh? Forward? How do I go…forward? Whaa!
Rath: Wil!
Wil: I-I’m fine. Owww…
Rath: You might be injured… Do you want to stop?
Wil: Hm? Why? No, no, I’m fine.
Rath: But…perhaps training on the battlefield is not a good idea…
Wil: But what choice have I got? We fight every day! Where else can I train but the battlefield? Oh! Wait… Are you trying to back out of this training exercise? Not a chance. You owe me for laughing at me before!
Rath: …Before? ……Number…three…… … ……
Wil: See!! You’re doing it again!! I can’t believe it!! You never laugh, but that whole “three” thing just slays you every time! Why!! Why!!
Rath: I’m sorry… …I will teach you to ride. Forgive me.
Wil: Yeah, yeah, it’s fine… just keep teaching me until I can ride, got it? Seriously! I mean it!
Rath: Yes, I understand.
Wil: You promised.
Rath: …I swear on the honor of my tribe..
Wil: Now, you don’t have to go make that big a deal out of it…
Rath: No…I swear by Mother Earth and Father Sky… Because…you have taught me something important as well.
