Hector & Oswin



C Support

Oswin: … …
Hector: Oswin! I’m fine here by myself! Why don’t you go help the others?
Oswin: I’m afraid I cannot. I’ve orders from Lord Uther. My duty here is to guard you, sir.
Hector: Yeah, but it’s weird! I mean, two guys like us– We gotta sit here looking at each other’s mugs all day?
Oswin: If you can bear it, Lord Hector, then I see no problem with this arrangement.
Hector: …Right. Sorry ‘bout that.
Oswin: It’s quite all right.
Hector: You do bug me though, you know.
Oswin: Yes, of course.
Hector: Oswin! Why, you…
Oswin: Lord Hector, this is a battlefield. Focus on the battle.
Hector: Grr! How am I supposed to concentrate now!?

Oswin: Lord Hector.
Hector: What is it now, Oswin?
Oswin: I was watching you just now. You are in top form, I must say. I could hardly believe my eyes.
Hector: Heh! I see you finally opened those eyes of yours!
Oswin: The way you wield your axe shows how hard you train. Tell me, where did you learn?
Hector: Where? In the ring, of course. You know I love that place. I used to sneak out of class for days at an end to fight.
Oswin: So, you were fighting your peers in the ring…
Hector: Yeah, yeah. Just… don’t let my brother know. Yeah, I had to threaten my teachers, too– huh?
Oswin: Ah, now I have you! I thought you might be disobeying Lord Uther. The brother of a marquess of Ostia, fighting in the ring… What would Uther say were he here now!
Hector: Fine, fine! I hear you. Just don’t tell my brother!
Oswin: Perhaps we could work out an arrangement… If you promised never to go to the ring again?
Hector: Fine, I’m out. Done! On my honor as a man!
Oswin: Of course.
Hector: Grr…! You ill-hearted old man!
Oswin: Not that I’m correcting you, but I am only in my thirties. I would think “ill-hearted gentleman” more appropriate… Now, I must be off.
Hector: Hunh? Thirties…? He must be kidding.

Oswin: Lord Hector, how fare you?
Hector: Aaah… Is it me, or are our enemies getting stronger?
Oswin: Yes. I’m afraid my armor saved my skin more than once today. Take care, Lord Hector.
Hector: Say, Oswin. Sorry to be such a burden, you know?
Oswin: Pardon?
Hector: I know it’s my brother’s orders, but here you’re stuck with me. I mean, it must be a drag for you, right? You let me know if there’s anything I can do for you.
Oswin: Well, to tell the truth… When I was assigned to watch over you, Lord Hector, I feared that I might not be worthy of the job. But I realized something over the course of this journey. While your words and manners may be coarse at times, you are straight and true in character– like a good arrow. I thank Lord Uther for giving me the opportunity to serve you. So, believe me that it hasn’t been a burden at all.
Hector: Oswin… You… You sure? I mean, that’s good, I’m glad.
Oswin: Excellent! Then I shall be honored to serve you further.
Hector: I was afraid it might have been me makin’ you look like an old man!
Oswin: Eh? What was that?
Hector: Ah, er, nothing! Never mind! Um, right! Come along, then! Let’s go!
