Tormod: Hmmm… I told him to meet me right here. Where is he…?
Devdan: Devdan is here!
Tormod: Waaaaghhhhh!
Devdan: What’s wrong?!
Tormod: Gaaaah! Don’t scare me like that! My heart nearly exploded! There goes ten years off my life!
Devdan: Don’t overreact, little Tormod. Devdan didn’t scare ten years off your life… Devdan thinks you are just stalling! But now it’s time to get to work. The commander asked us to work on these weapons. We should get started.
Tormod: I’m the world’s greatest mage! Why do I have to do these stupid chores?
Devdan: Because you will learn something. It’s important to know all about the different kind of weapons you’ll encounter on the battlefield.
Tormod: Hmmm…yeah. Well, you have a good point there.
Devdan: Mua ha har hee ho hee hoo! All of Devdan’s points are good!
Tormod: Um…all right, then. I’ll get started on the swords!

Tormod: That’s it. I quit! I can’t take any more of this cr–
Devdan: You should not leave a job unfinished!
Tormod: Waagghhh! Where did you come from?
Devdan: Devdan has been watching you… Mmm… Your wound has not been treated properly. You will get an infection.
Tormod: Aw, it’s useless. I rub it with vulnerary and dress it with a cloth, but it doesn’t do any good. I just need a priest to mumble some magic words and wave a staff over it!
Devdan: Grrrr! You are a fool! That makes Devdan upset!
Tormod: Huh?
Devdan: You can’t always depend on others for help. On the battlefield, you have to know how to take care of yourself.
Tormod: I see… Hah! You do have a way with words.
Devdan: Poor, lazy boy who knows nothing at all… Here, hand over that bandage. Devdan will show you how it’s done.
Tormod: Thank you.

Tormod: Aaaahhhhhh…
Devdan: Don’t sigh, Tormod. It will only make you more depressed.
Tormod: Oh, hello, Devdan.
Devdan: So Devdan did not startle you? That’s a bit of a letdown!
Tormod: It’s just not fair. It’s like you were born with a lance in your hand. How can I compete with that?
Devdan: Don’t be so hard on yourself. You’ve got a lot of talent, Tormod.
Tormod: Please don’t flatter me. I know how it really is. Maybe I’m not cut out for magic…
Devdan: Everyone has a tough time learning.
Tormod: Maybe I’m just not any good.
Devdan: Learning something new takes patience. If you’re always in a rush to get better, you’ll overlook important lessons.
Tormod: Important lessons?
Devdan: Think back on the first time you used magic. How did you feel?
Tormod: How did I feel? I was happy…and excited. I’d never felt anything like it.
Devdan: Devdan knows that it felt good when you started making progress in your training… Right?
Tormod: Yes…it was fun.
Devdan: Why do you think that was?
Tormod: I was happy because… Well, because I was getting stronger. I had the power to protect people.
Devdan: Never forget how that felt. Keep that attitude, and you’ll continue to improve.
Tormod: … Thanks, Devdan! You’re always teaching me something important!
Devdan: Mua ha har hee ho hee hoo! It is Devdan’s responsibility to pass on knowledge to the next generation. And you know what? You give Devdan something in return, too…
Tormod: I do?
Devdan: Hope. There’s always something worth fighting for.
