AN: I"m terribly sorry, I Think there must be a dreadful miscommunication here, possibly because of a language barrier, but from the way you talk it sounds as if you and your empire are not a part of EArth.

AN: BUt miss Caelia, if I May refer to something you mentioned earlier, you said that your empire might be inclined to destroy the EArth should you inform them of us, correct?
AC: O< I am curious who would b3 a+ 3ar+h and know of +rolls. )

AN: IS there any way that I Could convince you to not reveal EArth to your empire and subsequently doom us to destruction?
AC: O< W3ll I'm working on i+, I hav3 +h3 joy of knowing I discov3r3d you, bu+ no on3 knows my gr3a+ discov3ry wi+hou+ your 3lima+ion. Asid3 from pr3s3rving my 3ffor+s, I don'+ s33 how your sp3ci3s is of us3. )

AN: I Will admit, I Do not know a great deal about humanity's current state, or our sciences, or are worth as creators of art, but what I can tell you is that we can profess to what I would contend is the most proud and glorious tradition in the universe.
AN: THat of knighthood.
AC: O< Wha+ is human knigh+hood you would hav3 m3 ask. )
AC: O< I will indulg your po3+ics, bu+ b3 bri3f pl3as3. )
AC: O< *indulg3 )
AN: HUman knighthood is a long and enduring tradition, where young men and women would spend their early lives training their bodies to martial perfection, before swearing themselves, bodily and spiritually, to a cause that they believe is greater than themselves.
AN: BUt it is even more than that!
AN: KNights go beyond being examples of loyalty to a cause, for they also swear themselves to be heroes, to be shining bastions of justice, kindness, and honor!
AN: WHen a knight charges into battle, they do it not for personal gain or because they were forced into a war.
AN: NAy, they charge because they are spurred to action by their need to right the wrongs of the world!
AN: BEing a knight is a testament, not only to one's skill with a blade, but to their courage and strength of character.
AC: O< Wow. )
AC: O< Of +h3 firs+ I can say pl3n+y p3opl3 b3com3 soldi3rs h3r3. )

AN: I Prefer to believe that all people are good at heart, but one would not be incorrect if they were to say that fewer act on their righteous impulses than one would hope.
AC: O< So you b3li3v3 humans all hav3 +h3 po+3n+ial +o do good. )
