[ As it happens, the boy's voice could be a little quieter, a little more distant - possibly, if he'd ridden in with a horde of the undead. ]

How do you... resign?

[ Slight pause. ]

When I tried to, they weren't the right words. Right sounding. Right on paper. Right to think abou - ...right. Sorry. That's impolite to ask all of a sudden, without a proper greeting. My bad.

[ A hint louder, more rehearsed - ]

Good day. Pleased to meet you. How do you do.

[ And now back to the ~~pathetic~~ old track. ]

If it's all the same to you: how do you resign from something like this?

... This place isn't too bad, you know. But, that doesn't mean I don't want to find a way out for everyone who wants out.

I didn't say that. I said you were enjoying yourself.

Might as well try to enjoy ourselves a bit while we're here, right? Sitting around and moping around too much has never quite been my style.

...I don't understand you.

Why's that?

You're saying it's fine to enjoy something like this and you're not concerned who might hear it.

W, Well, why not? Sitting around and crying about it is just what these Gods want! [ ... that's no real excuse since he's bound to break down and cry regardless in front of someone he doesn't like... ]

If you're making a point of doing things they wouldn't want you to... don't you already care too much?

As a man, you wouldn't try to give your rivals or whatever what they wanted, right? For the most part, anyways.

So this is all for your pride as a man?

It's for a ton of stuff!

...but mostly for your pride as a man.

In a fight, it's important to have at least that, right?

I thought in a fight, it was important to show up.

That's the easy part!

Not on your own feet.

If you don't fight on your own, then it doesn't really feel like victory when you win though, right?

I don't mind either way.

... Heh, thinking like that... it's all useless.

...that's right. All of this is pretty useless.

No, no, not that! What's the point in fighting if you don't have some sportsmanship in it?

I'm the one saying we shouldn't fight at all.

Yeah, if i had the choice, no one else except those who want to would have to fight. ... Though, you could add that onto my reasons for doing it.

...you need a lot of reasons to do feel something.

And the more reasons you have, the harder you can fight, right?
