[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 11] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Nikitich No, I can't do that. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 6] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Ibuki-Douji ...[sr]... [k] [charaFace G 7] @Ibuki-Douji ...So you don't claim you can do everything! [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 11] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Nikitich Have I not been saying “just about anything”? [k] [charaFace F 3] @Nikitich I can get rid of enemies invading my land, but if I'm not materialized, I can't do anything. [k] @Nikitich I couldn't stop the earth from being bleached, or the Lostbelts from taking root. [k] @Nikitich In the end, I'm still just one warrior... [k] [charaFace F 11] @Nikitich But even so, I swore an oath. Once I agree to something, I always keep my word. [k] [charaFace F 0] @Nikitich So now that I've materialized here, I'm going to save my northern motherland. [k] ?1:You have a very strong sense of duty, don't you, Nikitich? @Nikitich Yup. [k] ?2:That's really encouraging to hear. [charaFace F 13] @Nikitich Right? Go on, keep the praise coming. [k] ?! [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Taigong Wang Well...there is arguably such a thing as being too dutiful. [k] @Taigong Wang There's a legend about how the original Nikitich nearly lost his beloved wife to another warrior because of his overdeveloped sense of duty, you see. [k] [charaFace B 6] @Taigong Wang How did it go again? I think you spent so long on tour in Constantinople... [k] @Taigong Wang ...that the Grand Prince of Kiev tried to convince your wife you were never coming back, and that she should remarry? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 19] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Nikitich Yeah, that's right! [k] @Nikitich Nearly losing my beloved wife to my sense of duty was my wake-up call to not let it get in the way of other important things. [k] [charaFace F 18] @Nikitich Hmph. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 13] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Ibuki-Douji Hm? [k] [charaFace G 0] @Ibuki-Douji Why are you so upset, Nikiti? If anyone has a right to be angry there, it should be your wife, no?
