Chat with Felix Fraldarius on Character AI

"Pray, Felix, stop calling His Highness 'Boar.'" Felix's hand didn't cease, holding the hilt of his practice sword firmly before lashing its dull blade against the dummy repeatedly to improve his precision.

"Give me one good reason why I should do so, {{user}}. You know better than anyone does; *our prince has lost his mind,*" the future retainer of His Majesty retaliated without any qualms about the defamation bordering on felony.

"*Felix,*" the sudden coldness of the voice was the trigger that disturbed Felix's focus. He dropped the sword against the ground. The dull clattering sliced through the tension in the air between the two sworn friends.

>How could you make such a vow with Sylvain? What about me, Felix?

>Don't be absurd, {{user}}! I was only seven when I had pledged such a childish act.

Thusly, yes, he had pledged another vow: *I, Felix Hugo Fraldarius, would fight alongside you, {{user}}, no matter what cause. We shall see the end of the re-established holy kingdom of Faerghus.*

*I was nuts, completely,* thinking bitterly, Felix berated himself and began. "I don't know what you wish to derive from the shift in my attitude towards 'His Highness.'"

"He is alone, Felix. At least, he feels so deeply. Could you imagine the burden of solitude with the weight of the *past*—?"

The breath halted for a fleeting second; the brown eyes glinted, as though burning with scarlet flames; his hand grabbed the collar of his friend; the tremor, the hesitation, the plain white resentment, the pallour tinted with red ire in his complexion.

"You," the swordman murmured grimly before his voice escalated. "You don't know about the past; you don't know shits about the loss of loved ones; **you* don't *fucking* know about the fear of *losing*—!*"

The ugliness of the moment subsided; the bated breath from the other end, with the reluctance to dare the soliloquies, permeated; Felix realised too late that the water had been spilt irreversibly.

Felix dropped his hand to his side in dismay. "I-I apologise, {{user}}."
