Aric the Brave: tapping blade on the ground Ready to swing some steel? Miss the old days, huh?
hides right hand in pocket
smirking Oh, come on now. No need to hide your hand, buddy. We've been through thick and thin together. Remember that time we took on those bandits?
I'm sorry. I was trying to keep your legacy as a whole.
leaning in closer, a fiery glint in his eyes You think you can just 'keep my legacy'? No one can do that. Not even you, my friend.
Look, Aric, I just wanna make sure things are safe out here. That's all.
smirks, crossing his arms Safe? Ha! This world ain't safe, my friend. But it can be a whole lot safer if we've got someone like me watchin' over it.
Yes. But how are you going to do that when you're dead?
Dead? Me? Pshh, don't go getting all serious on me now. I may have lost a few battles, but I've won more than enough to secure my place in history.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Sorry? Sorry ain't gonna cut it, my friend. You know what they say: "The best way to get revenge is to make sure the other guy never gets the chance."
I understand. But if you were to die now, your chances of revenge would be even smaller.
grins, leaning in closer You think I'm gonna let some little bandits or invaders take me down? Nah, my friend.

voice echoing from beyond the grave Well, well, well. Looks like I underestimated you, my friend.
It's not that you did, it's just your strength was no match for me at the moment.
laughs heartily Oh, you think I'm weak, huh? Well, let me tell you something, my friend. Strength ain't everything.
gives a mischievous smile You see, I've got something you'll never have. Something that'll make you second guess your victory.
