Do you enjoy them? The jobs you take, I mean.

[residentmerc]

Depends on the job, I guess. Most of 'em aren't bad, and if I really don't like the work, I can just... not take it.

[halved]

Huh... Doesn't sound like a bad career choice, if you can just say no. [little does she know about the infinite side quests.] ... I'd guess it's a little better than the military, too. Aren't they really strict about orders?

[residentmerc]

Yeah. Drilled cadet training into my head enough I still remember it.

[ and this is WITH memory loss ]

[halved]

... What made you want to join the military, anyway?

[residentmerc]

Something stupid. [ ha, ha. he shrugs, and. after a p a u s e ] Thought if I did, I could become a hero.

[halved]

... Oh.

[JUST, OH.]

[residentmerc]

Yeah.

[ JUST. SUCH A DISPARAGING TONE. to himself. ]

[halved]

[help]

Well... It's not like you're the only one. Lots of students at my school want to be heroes.

[teens do just be cringe like that.]

[residentmerc]

They do?

[ do teens these days have war propaganda to make them want to be cool heroes ]

[halved]

Unfortunately.

[they have war against devils propaganda...]

[residentmerc]

Guess that's... universal.

[halved]

Must be something about the hormones.

[residentmerc]

... The hormones?

[ HE WANTS TO GIVE HIS KID SELF MORE CREDIT THAN THAT like he also doesnt still want to play hero like a loser ]

[halved]

The hormones.

[sir you invited a girl you weren't super close to out just so you could tell her you were leaving]

[residentmerc]

...

Wow.

[ THAT'S ALL HE'S GOT YEA ]
