Three Houses Supports/Felix Seteth

Felix: May I help you, Seteth?
Seteth: Finally noticed me, I see. Good
to see that you are so dedicated to
your training.
Felix: Do you have need of my sword?
Seteth: No, this is not a military matter. I would like to discuss the distance you seem to be keeping from the others.
Felix: "Distance"? I don't follow.
Seteth: I have noticed that you like to
keep others at arm's length. And in
most cases, quite a bit further.
Felix: Hmph. Keeping a close eye on me.
They don't share my values. That's
all.
Seteth: Is that why you train alone?
Because your friends do not share your
values?
Felix: You seem displeased.
I suppose you're going to tell me, "To
defeat your enemies, you must have
dependable allies."
Seteth: That's not exactly how I would
phrase it, but having good
relationships with your allies is
essential in combat.
I am sure you realize that it is easier
to bond with people when you interact
with them more.
There are limits to what one person
can do alone. Great things cannot be
achieved without allies.
Felix: You sound like my father. You're saying it's in my own interest to make friends?
Seteth: To put it simply, yes. As much as you possibly can.
Felix: To be honest, I envy you. Because I know what it is like to not have many people to call friends.
Seteth: I wouldn't have guessed that.
There are so many devout believers.
I am talking about friends. People to
speak with on equal terms.
You have many friends here. You should
take care to attend to them.
Felix: I'll consider your advice, but
I'm not usually one to change my mind.
Seteth: Ah, to be young.

Seteth: Hello, Felix. Training alone again, I see.
Felix: Spying on me again, I see.
Seteth: It is not my intention to spy.
I am merely concerned about you.
I do not think you have been keeping
your friends at a distance because you
dislike them personally.
Rather, I think what bothers you is
their concept of proper knighthood. Is
that not so?
Felix: Hmph. You really have been
watching me closely.
You're correct.
Seteth: I don't understand why they revere knighthood.
Felix: I won't be friends with anyone
who believes in that nonsense.
Seteth: Do you feel that way because of
what happened in the Tragedy of Duscur?
I have heard the story. Your brother
was one of the royal knights. He gave
his life to defend the prince.
Felix: My brother was doing his job. My
father is the real problem. When my
brother's armor was brought back to the
castle, do you know what he said?
"He died like a true knight."
Chivalry begets the worship and
glorification of death. Am I alone in
finding that grotesque?
I suppose you'll excommunicate me for
blaspheming like this.
Seteth: Not at all. I am not a knight, so I have no intentions of lecturing you about chivalry. So long as one's conduct is consistent with the teachings of the goddess, it is up to the individual to decide right from wrong.
Felix: In that case, I'd like you to
formally pardon me for not having
friends.
Seteth: You require no such pardon.
This is merely advice from an old man
to a younger one.
As unwavering as your convictions may
be, the others also feel strongly about
their beliefs.
If you hate all those whose beliefs are
different from yours, you will hate
everyone eventually.
People with exactly the same beliefs
as you simply do not exist.
Felix: ...
Seteth: You do not have to change your beliefs, of course. But you do have to accept that others feel differently. That is my advice to you. I will speak no more of it.
Felix: Seteth. Can I ask one thing?
Why are you going out of your way to
tell me this? Why bother with me at
all?
Seteth: Because I trust you. Now that I have heard what you have to say, I trust you even more. I am also a rather eccentric person. I thought you and I might get along.
Felix: I see. You've gone to so much trouble, I may have to start making an effort as well.
Seteth: Good. Do not take this the wrong way, but I hope you will surpass my expectations.
