Cheria, umm... I was wondering if you'd like to join me for dinner tonight.

Could you guys give me some help? I really want to make tonight special for Cheria and I. [You should be happy, Richard! He's finally doing something!]

[And now that those are out of the way, he takes care to propose one last question, this one publicly.]

What are things you usually do for people you care about? I mean... to show them that you really care about them? I guess I'm not really that good at expressing that, so... I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks.

[Just the two of them, alone, together? Well... it certainly helps.]

Like what?

[... Asbel you're asking for oddly specific things.]

Perhaps preparing a meal, or practicing battle together? You grew up together, what was it you two did?

[drawnbythesword]

...Not much. We were too busy going around trying to protect the world to really have time between the two of us. And when we weren't doing that, well... ...I had to lead Lhant, and Cheria was involved in her relief work.

...Before that, we were kids.

Do you mean to say you and your companions weren't together for some time? [That was what it sounded like, at least.]
