Lindon: Ugh…
Vander: Sir Lindon? Is something troubling you?
Lindon: I’m loath to admit it, but my lower back has been giving me terrible pain lately.
Lindon: For all my training as a royal knight of Elusia, I suppose there’s no defeating old age.
Vander: What nonsense. You are a sage of no small talent. I would say you haven’t lost a step.
Lindon: You’re right that my mind is as sharp as ever, but physically, my decline has been just dismal.
Lindon: You’re no spring chicken yourself, you know. Can you really say you’re as fit as ever?
Vander: …
Vander: I will not pretend that I still have the stamina nor the reflexes of my prime.
Vander: But what I have lost in that regard, I have been rewarded in experience.
Vander: Nothing is gained moaning about your age. Do what you can with the body you have.
Lindon: Haha, very astute! I should take a page from your book.
Lindon: I may be getting on in years, but damned if I’ll let the youth run rings around me!
Vander: There you go, Sir Lindon. Well said.
Lindon: Part of me wants to rest and relax in my twilight years.
Lindon: But you’ve convinced me to squeeze just a little more blood from this aging stone.

B Support:

Lindon: Hmm…
Vander: Problems, Sir Lindon?
Lindon: I’ve found a very intriguing tome.
Lindon: With what’s in here, I may be able to develop a whole new type of magic.
Vander: That does sound interesting. What sort of magic?
Lindon: You won’t believe this, but it’s a spell to restore one’s youth.
Vander: Surely such a spell could not actually exist. Could it?
Lindon: It’s still theoretical for now. I can’t promise I’ll get results even if I work out the particulars.
Lindon: But if I succeed, we could fight just as ably as our young comrades.
Lindon: I’m no slouch even as I am, but if I had my youth back, I’d be a terror on the battlefield.
Lindon: And never mind the war─magic like this would change society as we know it.
Lindon: If I make any headway here, I promise that you’ll be first in line for the spell.
Vander: …
Vander: What you describe is a dream come true. Yet I believe I shall decline.
Lindon: Why’s that? Don’t you want your lost youth back?
Vander: I said before, I am satisfied to do what I can with the body I have.
Vander: I pass on what I have learned to younger folk. The world needs mentors as much as warriors.
Lindon: Huh…
Lindon: All right, all right. I commend you for sticking by your principles.
Lindon: But if my work pans out, I wager you’ll be singing a different tune.
Lindon: Hm-hm, I suppose we’ll see, won’t we?

A Support:

Vander: Sir Lindon. How has your work on rejuvenation magic gone since last we spoke?
Lindon: Haha, the experiment failed dismally.
Lindon: I chalk it up to an error in the tome that first piqued my interest.
Lindon: A spell to restore lost youth sounded too good to be true, and so it was.
Vander: I see. How unfortunate.
Lindon: Honestly, I found myself a little relieved.
Vander: Why is that?
Lindon: “I have been rewarded in experience.” “The world needs mentors.”
Lindon: As I set up my experiments, I recalled many times what you’d said to me.
Lindon: In my younger days, I learned so much of what I knew from the guidance of my elders.
Lindon: The idea of a world without such mentors in it began to frighten me a bit.
Lindon: Then, too, growing older and losing my skills as a knight taught me a few things.
Lindon: Perhaps it’s only at our age that we become capable of filling those roles.
Vander: Ah, you have finally seen the light.
Vander: A shame there was no one to drill such sense into the scribe of that failed spell tome.
Lindon: The error was quite shocking when I realized. Still, I reaped a bit of an unintended benefit.
Vander: Oh? Do tell.
Lindon: Do you notice anything, looking at me?
Vander: Hmm. You do seem a tad more sprightly than when we last crossed paths.
Lindon: Very perceptive!
Lindon: In the course of my work, I did discover a minor ritual that helped ease my back pain.
Lindon: Thanks to that, I feel fit as a fiddle!
Vander: Is this true?!
Lindon: Do I detect a hint of interest? Has a certain someone’s back been bothering him?
Vander: I was reluctant to admit it, but yes. You have the right of it.
Lindon: Well then! Stay very still, Vander, and I’ll prepare the ritual for you as well.
Lindon: After all, mentoring the younger generations will be easier if you’re in shape for it.
Vander: Leave it to an Elusian sage to find success even in failure.
Lindon: You flatter me, sir. Now, let’s show those fresh- faced soldiers what a few old fogies can do!
