Three Houses Supports/Felix Flayn

Felix: Hunh! Hya!
Flayn: Spectacular work, Felix!
Felix: Why are you here? You're
interrupting.
Flayn: Oh, uh-- My apologies! I simply
thought you were doing a great job...
Just how sharp is that blade of yours,
Felix? Do you imagine you might be able
to cut something cleanly with it?
Felix: Probably.
Flayn: Ah, wonderful! I have a special
request for you, then.
Felix: You want me to cut this
firewood?
Flayn: I do. I shall toss them one by
one to you, and you shall make a
sweeping blow to slice them!
Felix: Sounds like a chore.
Flayn: I saw a knight do it once, so
surely you can as well.
Or perhaps you are worried that you
are not capable.
Felix: What? I am more than capable.
Flayn: Right! Show me what you are made
of. Here it co--
Felix: Doing them one by one is
tedious. Just throw them all at once.
Flayn: All of them? If you insist! Here
we go!
Wow, you truly are spectacular!
Felix: I know.
Flayn: You are undoubtedly the most
revered wood cutter in all the land.
Now I am intrigued-- next time, let us
try an even larger wood pile!
Felix: Why did I agree to this?

Felix: Flayn. What's that you're hiding?
Flayn: Oh no! My surprise is spoiled! I had brought some fruits for you to cut up, in addition to the firewood. I thought some variation might prove amusing!
Felix: No. I'm not doing that again.
I've got better uses for my sword than
chopping up fruit and firewood.
Flayn: I cannot imagine what could be
better than chopping fruit.
Felix: Chopping up my enemies.
Flayn: You say that as though you have
many enemies.
So you would rather chop people than
firewood, is that it?
Felix: That's not how I'd put it, but a blade's purpose is to kill. To chop wood, use an axe. To chop food, use a knife. It's simple.
Flayn: Surely it is not forbidden to use your sword for other things. Like chopping fruit. Swords that cut inanimate objects are serving a much finer purpose than those that cut living beings.
Felix: What a noble sentiment.
But without a blade to cut down your
enemies, you cannot win.
Those who are weak lose everything, and
they die. Those who are strong win, and
live on.
Flayn: I understand why you balk at
bloodshed, but you must know that it
has a purpose.
Felix: And what purpose might that be?
Flayn: A purpose.
Felix: Let's just leave it at that. I'm not in the mood to debate you. I'll continue to wield my sword. And, if necessary, cut down my enemies.
Flayn: He certainly is a stubborn
one...

Flayn: Felix!
Felix: You. What is it now?
Flayn: Do not fret. I have not come to
ask you to chop wood. I have other
things to speak of with you.
You said that for one to live, they
must also be prepared to kill.
Felix: This again... Yes, that's what I
said. You still have a problem with
that?
Flayn: No, I do not have a problem with
it at all. I simply want you to live
too.
Felix: Oh. OK. Then I'll get back to my
training.
Flayn: Excuse me. I am not finished
yet.
During this time of war, you must
wield your sword to ensure your own
life.
If that is the case, then it follows
that we should bring an end to this
war.
To end the war, you'd have to kill
more people.
Felix: Perhaps that is true.
Flayn: But once all is said and done, there would no longer be a need to kill, only to live. Is that not so?
Felix: ...
That's pure fantasy. But if it came to
pass, there would be no place for me.
What would I do? I was raised to swing
a sword. It's all I know.
In a world without strife, warriors
like me would be lost souls.
It's tragic in a way. We fight to bring
peace and then, if we achieve it, we
lose our purpose.
Flayn: I do not think that is anything
you should worry yourself over.
If the war ends and peace reigns, I
shall be sure to have plenty of wood
chopping for you to do!
Felix: What a generous offer.
Flayn: And! You will never be short on
fruits and vegetables to chop for me
either!
If you felt like you lost your purpose
in life, surely you would find a new
purpose.
It is not like you to be afraid of
losing something, after all.
Felix: Hm.
I never thought about it, but maybe
there is a path for me in peacetime.
I'm intrigued.
I might even like to realize this
fantasy of yours.
Flayn: Oh, that brings me such joy,
Felix! Together, we can make this a
reality.
I can see it now-- a life where you
slice vegetables rather than people.
Felix: I will greatly enjoy the day
when we inhabit a world like that.
