Vander: …
Vander: Nothing like a bit of knitting to properly relax.
Saphir: Oh, Vander! Didn’t expect to see you doing some, uh…needlework?
Vander: Oh, Saphir.
Vander: Not so loud, please. This is a delicate project. I am likely to bungle it if you startle me.
Saphir: Right. Sorry.
Saphir: Guess I was just surprised to see you knitting, of all things. Hobby of yours?
Vander: Yes. And how is it surprising? Do you lack any hobbies of your own?
Saphir: I’m a simple knight, through and through. Combat training is all I need.
Vander: Always more to learn there. But this skill can be useful on the battlefield as well.
Saphir: Yeah? How do you figure?
Vander: Knitting demands that you learn movements requiring finesse, mastering them by repetition.
Vander: Taking shortcuts also leads to sloppy results.
Vander: The same could be said of the skills we train for combat, wouldn’t you say?
Saphir: OK, I see what you’re getting at, and you might have a point there.
Vander: Are you interested in learning the craft, then?
Saphir: Why not? Sure.
Vander: Excellent. I will be happy to teach you what I know. I think you will find it most fulfilling.

B Support:

Vander: You dropped a stitch, Saphir.
Saphir: Ugh… Yeah, of course I did. Stupid tiny loops can’t sit still for half a second…
Vander: Easy, now. Slow down or you will find yourself with a tangled mess.
Saphir: We’re way past that. It looks like an old fishnet that washed ashore.
Vander: Hmm… Yes, I see. You will need to rip out those last few stitches and do them over.
Saphir: Really?! You think?! Ugh… I can’t do this.
Vander: Fear not, this only practice. A clumsy mistake is but a learning experience.
Saphir: Clumsy! Yeah, because I’m SO… Ugh. I’m sorry, Vander. Knitting’s not for me.
Saphir: I appreciate you taking the time, but I’m not cut out for this kind of thing.
Vander: Is that so? I am surprised to see a knight of Brodia surrender at the first sign of trouble.
Vander: The warriors of Brodia are famed for their resolve. Perhaps that reputation is misleading.
Saphir: Uh-huh.
Saphir: Trying to get a rise out of me? Doesn’t suit you. Stick to the delicate stuff.
Saphir: You’re right, though, about Brodian knights. We never quit, and I’m not about to start.
Vander: Perhaps I have been too hard on you. I will be more gentle in my instruction from now on.
Saphir: No, no. You’ve done more than enough. I’ll handle the rest on my own.
Saphir: I’m gonna knit so hard it pops your pauldrons. You just stand back and wait to be impressed.
Vander: Very well. I eagerly await your results.

A Support:

Saphir: Vander! My knitting project’s all done!
Vander: Finally finished, have you?
Saphir: It’s just a little drawstring pouch, but…came out pretty good, didn’t it?
Vander: Hmm… Stitches are straight, loops consistent… This is well made.
Vander: Clearly the result of your hard work and determination. Fantastically done.
Saphir: I have to say, once I got into a rhythm with it, knitting was…really calming. Like meditation.
Saphir: I get what you meant now─about how you see this like another kind of training.
Saphir: I’m grateful to you for teaching me, Vander. To show my appreciation…I made you this.
Saphir: Nothing too fancy. Just a little something extra I threw together.
Vander: Ah, a scarf!
Vander: The pouch was excellent on its own, but to make this too, and so quickly… I’m impressed.
Saphir: Brodian knights hate to quit, but we love to learn. Gotta put in the work to be the best.
Vander: I see. However, you should know that, good as you are, you will not surpass my skill easily!
Saphir: I’ve got a long way to go for that, I know.
Vander: In all seriousness, perhaps you and I should train together.
Saphir: Train?
Vander: I will teach you more about knitting, and you will show me some of your combat techniques.
Saphir: Now you’re speakin’ my language!
Saphir: Yeah, I’d love that. I’m sure there’s a lot we can learn from each other!
