Boy, we sure are lucky we met up again, huh, Sis?
Sherie:
Mhmm, yeah.
Shermie:
I was wander... wondering where you ran off to about a year ago. Didja make that fortune yet?
Sherie:
Why would I be murdering people for money if I was already rich?
Shermie:
Because it's fun?
Sherie:
...
Shermie:
Oh! That's not like it sounds, you know... I mean, fighting is fun! It's too bad we just have to kill people too...
Sherie:
... It's the same thing, you idiot. ... Anyway, I'm afraid I haven't struck gold yet.
Shermie:
That's too bad... But because you're still working as a mercenary, we got to see each other again!
Sherie:
Shermie... Why the hell are you so happy to see me? After what I said and did to you?
Shermie:
Huh? What are you talking about?
Sherie:
Ugh... Just forget it. We've got a job to do, so let's do it!
*She vanishes*
Shermie:
...

Shermie:
Sherie!
Sherie:
Just leave me alone, Shermie.
Shermie:
No! Why are you upset with me?
Sherie:
Because YOU aren't upset with me!
Shermie:
Why would I be?
Sherie:
Do you even remember why we split up in the first place?
Shermie:
Because you said we weren't making enough money...
Sherie:
Yeah. I was tired of working as a mercenary for scraps. We needed to do something more ambitious!
Shermie:
And I thought we didn't need to change... We made enough to get by and it was fun!
Sherie:
And this is why I left. All you care about is running around and getting in fights! Absolutely no planning for the future...
Shermie:
Then you called me stupid and left the next day.
Sherie:
Exactly. I abandoned you! Why don't you hate me?
Shermie:
Well, I can take care of myself. And it is true I was sad without you... But I could never hate you, Sherie! I love you!
Sherie:
Sigh... the more I talk to you the more I realize I don't deserve you. We'll continue this another time, okay?
Shermie:
Okay...

///A
Sherie:
You know, Shermie.
It really bothers me... I left trying to find some way to become rich... I went to Florencia and did everything I could. ... And it only made me realize the only thing I know how to do is fight. Tried being a farmer, nuh-uh. Merchant? nope... I even tried marrying into a rich family... ... But Florencian bluebloods are the biggest snobs ever. I think they're only into girls in their own family tree!
Shermie:
Heehee... But you work for the duke of Florencia now, right?
Sherie:
Turns out he saw my talent with a bow and wanted to use it. I got lucky. With any more luck I may never have to work again with the reward I was promised...
Shermie:
That's good.
Sherie:
Yeah... But it frustrates me a lot, Shermie... I left because I saw no future in being a mercenary... But it ended up being what paid off. Not to mention, I doubted you and you're working for a duke yourself! And now here we are, together again... It just... it feels like I left you for no reason... We could have made it if we just carried on as usual...
Shermie:
I dunno... I got lucky too actually! My story is the same. Orion just saw me fighting and wanted to hire me.
Sherie:
All the more reason for my guilt then... What if something happened when we were apart...
Shermie:
Nothing did though. And that's all that matters.
Sherie:
But...
Shermie:
Sherie. I'm not too smart, but... I think you're TOO obsessed with what could be... instead of what is happening around you. Maybe I could stand to think about my future a bit. But us being together again... That is something we should be happy about, yes?
Sherie:
... Yeah, I am happy we're together again. But no hard feelings? Really?
Shermie:
I'm too much of a dummy for hard feelings, Sis. Those make my head hurt.
Sherie:
Haha, oh, Shermie... I think you're a lot wiser than we all realize...
