00:00You
00:06Hmm this tent is torn. Can you please fix this one first ash? Absolutely
00:15Sorry
00:16I should probably take care of it myself, but we'd be here until sundown if I
00:20No problem at all. I've had lots of practice with things like this happy to help however I can
00:26Oh
00:27Well, thanks
00:30Actually, i'll fetch you something to make the job less of a burden
00:33You like sweet things, right?
00:35Uh, well, yes
00:39Sorry, no, I can't ask you to do that
00:42Ash i've told you there's no need to act like that
00:46I can't have someone from the royal family running errands for me. It doesn't feel right
00:52Lenato would be furious with me. I'm sure
00:55If lord lenato says something to you i'll write him a letter of protest
01:00I really don't mind so you needn't worry about that
01:03And while i'm being candid i'd prefer it if you didn't speak so formally to me
01:08We're supposed to be allies
01:10We fought side by side as equals haven't we?
01:13I know
01:14But to commoners like me your royalty
01:17Regular folks normally only lay eyes on someone like you once or twice in their whole lives
01:22I understand. I really do
01:26When I ascend the throne
01:28Perhaps I should do a tour of each city
01:30What? No, that's not what I meant
01:34I'm at a loss
01:35I wish to make things better, but I seem to only upset you more and more
01:39That is certainly not my intention
01:42Perhaps I should leave you be and take care of our shopping
01:45Please I promise i'll go myself just as soon as I finished with the tent
01:50Ash enough
01:54Okay
01:55I have a question answer me this
01:57I don't normally eat sweets
01:59So what would you recommend?
02:01Oh, well
02:02If price isn't a concern for you, then you should go for the sugar candies the ones they make in town are really delightful
02:11Uh, oh your highness, please you mustn't
02:15Got it
02:16Sugar candies it is i'll go and fetch some
02:19Your highness, please come back. I'm, i'm so sorry. I'll i'll make sure these repairs get done
02:27So
02:37Your highness sorry, I mean dimitri would you um
02:41Do you want to train together today?
02:44Ash, of course. I'm glad you asked
02:47After classes conclude for the day meet me at the training ground. I'll be waiting
02:52And afterward let's plan on dinner. We'll certainly have worked up an appetite
02:56Oh, yes, I suppose. I mean sure it'd be that is it would be my pleasure to uh,
03:04to dine with you
03:07I mean, I I um
03:10Ash
03:14I'm sorry your highness. I'm just no good at this. I'll do my best to improve
03:19Are you still worrying over what I said to you before?
03:22I'm trying to do as you asked, but it's just completely against my nature
03:27Trust me. I understand the urge to show respect where it is due
03:32However, that is not the case here
03:35Yes, I was brought up in a different family and raised in a different way, but otherwise you and I are the same
03:42That all makes sense your highness
03:45But I just can't bring myself to speak to you in such a casual way
03:50Sure when you get right down to it royalty like you and common folk like me
03:54We're all just people
03:56But the common folks still rely on the nobility to keep the peace and to keep them safe
04:01Commoners pay the price for that in taxes and respect. That's what lenato says
04:07I suppose I can understand that point of view
04:10But the flaw in your logic is that I am not king just yet
04:13But that's not all there is to it
04:16Hmm
04:19I also respect you as a person
04:23You carry the weight of the whole kingdom on your shoulders
04:26You're a faultless warrior and you're always so kind to your allies
04:31even me
04:32On all accounts I can say the same of you
04:35But you also have a strong heart
04:38I can't say that about myself
04:40No matter the circumstance you are never drawn toward darkness
04:44That mindset of yours has done me well on countless occasions
04:48Well, I I do my best
04:52So I guess mutual respect between us is what's really the most appropriate
04:57Precisely, which means there's never any need to be nervous or uncomfortable around one another
05:03it seems we may have circled back to where we started with this conversation, but
05:08Let's at least agree that we both should learn to bend a bit. How's that sound?
05:12All right
05:14Let's start from the beginning then
05:16Would you like to train with me today your highness of course ash come at me with everything you've got
05:30You
