Finally Friends

I've been too caught up trying to beat Irena to see the world around me. I only thought about beating her, but now I think I understand. It's okay to rely on people with great strength. Those are the people you can trust when times go bad. That's what you were missing, wasn't it father?

I should speak with Irena. She would make a powerful ally.

(You will be moved directly to the Six Path Crossway if you accept.)

It's going to be really awkward. Maybe I should get something to eat and think about it...

Hey, buddy! I heard about what you did in the swamp. Don't worry about that dressing-down you got from Neinheart. He was probably just cranky.

Irena, I need to be straight with you. I've been jealous of you. I saw your accomplishments and your skills as a threat to me. It wasn't fair, and I want to apologize. Can you forgive me?

YOU were jealous of ME? Hahahaha! That's ridiculous! From the moment I set eyes on you, I though to myself 'now THIS is natural-born talent.' I've been doing everything I can just to keep up with you. I'm flattered that you would even have those thoughts for a split second.

Friends, okay? To the very end.
