Ashe: What are all these books doing on the floor? Hey, Cyril, what's going on here?

Cyril: I'm tidying up the library-- sweeping the floors, dusting the shelves, restacking the books...

Ashe: Isn't there a schedule for library cleaning duty? Why are you doing all of this by yourself?

Cyril: Oh, I'm helping out the kid whose job it is. He says I'm making him look bad, but I'm just happy to help. Besides, some of these books are valuable. Gotta handle 'em carefully. Not a lot of people get that.

Ashe: But there are so many. You really think you'll get all this done today?

Cyril: Easy. There's more stuff to do tomorrow, so the library has gotta get done today.

Ashe: And I guess you're planning to do all that by yourself too.

Cyril: Yep.

Ashe: Come on, it'll be dusk soon. Let me help.

Cyril: Nah, it's my job and I'm gonna do it.

Ashe: There is no way one person can shelve all these books before nightfall, Cyril!

Cyril: Like I said, these books need to be handled real careful. Shouldn't you be doing your own thing anyway? This is my job, and I'm gonna do it because I know Lady Rhea expects it done a certain way.

Ashe: I can't just stand here and watch. I won't get in your way, all right? I'll handle this shelf and you take the next one.

Cyril: Listen! I said I don't need your help.

Ashe: I promise I'll be careful, OK? Let's just get to it.

Cyril: Ugh, fine. You do over there. I'll do all of this.

Ashe: Got it.

Cyril: Ugh...

Cyril: Hey, Ashe.

Ashe: Hey there, Cyril. Is something on your mind?

Cyril: Well, I just...I wanted to thank ya for helping me.

Ashe: Huh? When do you mean?

Cyril: You know, when ya helped me with cleaning up the library?

Ashe: Ah, right! That was quite a while ago! I'd completely forgotten about it.

No need to thank me though. It was nothing. Do you need help with anything today? I've got some spare time. I really don't mind.

Cyril: Well, I'd rather take care of the stuff I've been asked to do on my own.

Ashe: I could give you a hand though, couldn't I?

Cyril: Yeah, ya could, but I sure would rather ya didn't. Me doing those jobs is why I get to stay here, even though I'm an Almyran.

Ashe: Oh, so it's a status thing. I can understand that. I can get pretty awkward if I ever have to ask a favor from a noble.

Cyril: Exactly. That's why I don't want anybody's help.

Ashe: You don't need to feel that way around me though. I'm just a commoner. I'm only in here thanks to a bit of luck, so really, I'm just the same as you. I don't know if that's exactly true, but maybe... Either way, birth and social status don't really matter for us, do they? After all, we're friends, right?

Cyril: Friends?

Ashe: Yeah. And when a friend needs you, you've got to help, don't you?

Cyril: I don't know. I guess I've never been anybody's friend before.

Ashe: It's easy. If I'm in trouble, you help me out. And if you need something, I help you too.

Cyril: Huh... OK. But I've packed up for the day already, so maybe ya could help me out next time?

Ashe: Sure! Whenever you need a hand, just let me know.

Cyril: Ashe is my friend...and friends help each other out. Yeah... That sounds nice.

Ashe: No good. I've lost sight of them completely, and those monsters might still be out there... I'd better get back to the monastery before dark.

Cyril: Ashe! Ashe, I finally found ya.

Ashe: Cyril? What are you doing here? You're awfully far from your post. I'd heard you'd gone missing, so I started looking for you everywhere. Here, I brought you a map. You can use this to get home later, right?

Ashe: You came all this way for that? Alone? It's dangerous out here.

Cyril: Am I being a nuisance?

Ashe: Of course not. This is a big help actually. You took a serious risk coming out here though.

Cyril: But...I thought we were friends? That's what you told me, Ashe. You said friends help each other when they're in trouble.

Ashe: I did say that. You're right. Come on, let's get back to the monastery. I could use your help finding the way.

Cyril: I know you could. That's why I came out here. Oh no. I just thought about it. I'm gonna be in trouble when I get back, huh?

Ashe: Maybe. Leaving your post is against orders. But don't worry. I'll take a share of the punishment.

Cyril: What? Why? You did nothing wrong.

Ashe: True. We're friends though, aren't we?

Cyril: Friends gotta get punished together too? I don't know about all that.

Ashe: I wouldn't put it like that. I'd say friends stick together, through good and bad. So, let's split the blame. That's what friends are for.

Cyril: Wow, so that's what friends are for. OK then. When you're in trouble next time and you need my help, I'll go with ya to get punished.

Ashe: Good. I hope you remember that, because I think we're going to be friends for a long time.

Cyril: You betcha. Friends for life, Ashe. That's a promise.
