Clive x Lukas

MID_支援会話_クレーベ_ルカ_C
Lukas:
    Clive.
Clive:
    Ho, Lukas! Well met.
Lukas:
    So how does it feel to have doffed the
    oh-so-heavy mantle of leadership?
Clive:
    Ha ha! Do I sense a hint of judgment
    there?
    I wager I'm lucky someone as level-
    headed as you keeps me on my toes.
    Forsyth is all drive and emotion, while
    Python...
    Well, Python hardly seems to care about
    much of anything.
    Both are fine soldiers in their own ways,
    but neither is a great advisor.
Lukas:
    Ha ha ha.
    Well, don't tell Forsyth.
    He'd crawl into his bed and never come
    out again.
Clive:
    *sigh* I'd laugh were it not true.
    You see why I need someone like you?
    A cold observer to watch over me.
Lukas:
    ......

Lukas:
    ......
Clive:
    Is something wrong, Lukas?
    Why the troubled expression?
Lukas:
    Clive...
    I was thinking over what you said.
    About my being a "cold observer"?
Clive:
    What, that?
Lukas:
    Yes, that.
    It's true—I AM cold. Few passions ever
    manage to flare up in me.
    Granted, I'm not nearly as
    dispassionate as Python...
    But just once, I should like to be red
    with rage, green with envy... Something!
    I wonder if it is normal to feel so...
    detached.
Clive:
    Of course it is.
    And I believe such perfect composure
    to be a virtue beyond compare.
Lukas:
    Well, I am who I am. I imagine I should
    stop hoping for more.

Clive:
    Lukas.
Lukas:
    Clive, what is it?
Clive:
    The war is drawing to a close.
    I just wanted to offer thanks for your
    many services to the Deliverance.
    Without your fiery presence, we never
    would have made it this far.
Lukas:
    My...fiery presence? Are you certain
    you aren't confusing me with someone?
    Or is this an attempt to cheer me up
    after our last heart-to-heart?
Clive:
    Er...n-no! Of course not!
    *sigh* And here I thought I was being
    subtle.
    People always see right through me in
    a way they never do you.
Lukas:
    Well, that's because I'm the cold and
    composed one. Heh heh.
    Why do you keep me around if not for
    my greatest virtue?
