Dart & Karel

Karel: ……
Dart: What do you want!? Are you trying to start a fight!?
Karel: You smell like…like the sea… Are you a sailor?
Dart: What’s it to you? I am Dart, feared member of Fargus’s pirate crews! Know my name, and fear my blade, mate!
Karel: …… I just wanted to ask you one thing.
Dart: Huh? I thought you wanted to fight…
Karel: Tell me… Who is the strongest warrior on Elibe?
Dart: That’s easy! You’ll find no one tougher than Fargus’s pirates!
Karel: At sea, perhaps. But who is the strongest on land?
Dart: Hey! I don’t much like the tone of your voice! But fine, I’ll tell you. If you can afford it…
Karel: Take what you want…
Dart: Ha! Woo-hoo! Well, well, I’m starting to like you more already! Now then, let’s see… I’ve heard rumors in many a port town. You’ll have to confirm them yourself.
Karel: Spit it out.
Dart: Well, it’s like this… Out on the Western Isles, there’s a stone giant that men call Kelles. He’s thrice the size of the tallest man, and he can swallow your whole, from your head to your–
Karel: He’s dead.
Dart: Huh? Really?
Karel: Yeah.
Dart: …Seems like I heard about him only recently. You must get news quickly.
Karel: …Next.
Dart: Wait…I just remembered… There’s a mage in Ilia who has the power to freeze your blood in its veins. He found an ancient ice tome that–
Karel: Yeah, he’s dead, too. About a month ago.
Dart: I… Well, that’s… Are you serious? How could you know that?
Karel: …Next.

Dart: Hey, it’s you again!
Karel: ……
Dart: You wanted to know about the strongest warriors in the land, right?
Karel: I did, and still do. But those whom I have met did not strike me as being very strong at all.
Dart: Well, I remembered a bunch more. ‘Cause you know, I felt like I hadn’t given you your money’s worth.
Karel: Out with it.
Dart: But hold on. I was hoping you could help me out, too. I am looking for a certain treasure in Elibe. If you know anything, please tell me.
Karel: I’ll tell you what I know.
Dart: All right then, you’ve got a deal. Have you ever heard of the Princess of Swords?
Karel: No.
Dart: Really? Well, she’s supposed to be gorgeous. She appears at tournaments and slices through her foes with ease. Then she just disappears. From what I’ve heard, she’s looking for a man from her past.
Karel: Hmm…
Dart: Speaking of women, let me tell you about the Wyvern General. You know about the three Wyvern Generals in Bern, right? Well, she’s a fourth, and she’s mightier than the other three!
Karel: Hmm… Interesting. I will remember her.
Dart: Now it’s my turn! So you’ve traveled all over Elibe, right? Have you ever heard of the treasure of the pirate king?
Karel: No.
Dart: One word!? You call that an answer!?

Dart: Hey there you are! I forgot one!
Karel: What is it?
Dart: You know, what we were talking about? The tough guys! Well, I forgot one, but now I’ve remembered it!
Karel: Spit it out.
Dart: I hear about this guy wherever I go! He uses a fairy sword and cuts people in half! He leaves behind only a mountain of bodies and a sea of blood. He is the “Sword Demon,” who lives only to kill! And his name is… Karel!
Karel: …Sword Demon?
Dart: Yeah. You only hear the absolute worst thing about him… Like how he single-handedly wiped out an entire army of knights! Yeah, but it’s gotta be a myth… One against a thousand? That sounds like a tall tale to me, mate…
Karel: ……
Dart: How ‘bout it? You’re pretty good, but there’s always someone better, right? Why don’t you try acting all big after you’ve beaten him?
Karel: I apologize, but I cannot duel myself.
Dart: Hunh…? You’re joking… No way… So you’re the… You’re THAT Karel?!
Karel: I am only one Karel, but that is my name.
Dart: Well, pucker my portside! Why didn’t you say so?
Karel: You didn’t ask.
Dart: So if you’re Karel, then… Hey! Do you really have a thousand swords from the men you’ve slain?
Karel: …What are you talking about?
Dart: Don’t hide it! I heard all about it! That you laugh on the battlefield as you gather dead men’s swords!
Karel: …… I guess the rumors have embellished the truth…
