Pivot:  “We can trim all the leaves and branches we want, it won’t make any difference. We have to pull this problem up by the roots.”

Pivot:  “How about you, Grimm? No bad feelings?”

Grimm:  “No, sir, nothing. I’m not a fan of intense fighting, but I agree we should keep moving.”

Bordeaux:  He hefted his battle-ax and nodded. “Right, let’s do it, then! I was getting tired of all these small fry. In battle, just like in the hunt, the true warrior goes after the big game! Come on, Zergev Squadron, follow me!”

Pivot:  “Wait, young sir! Shouldn’t we consult the general for his instructions? Lady Mathers is with him, I believe.”

Bordeaux:  “Don’t be stupid, Pivot. If we go back, Viscount Bariel is only going to use us like the tools he thinks we are. We cut our way in there and let our success in battle speak for itself! That’s the ultimate comeuppance, Bordeaux-style!” He held up his battle-ax for emphasis.

Pivot:  “Comeuppance, is it? How very like you, young sir. But I can hardly…” Pivot went quiet, a troubled expression on his slim face.

Bordeaux:  Bordeaux laughed good-naturedly to see his second-in-command in such a state. “Just do what you’ve always done, Pivot, and follow me! Hell, what’ve you got to lose? Anyway, don’t forget our beloved general made a fool of Wilhelm before the battle. We’ve got to return the favor, don’t we?”

Wilhelm:  Wilhelm scowled at this. “Hold on. Don’t drag me into this. I told you not to make a big deal about it. And if he’s going to get paid back, I want to be the one to do it. Myself.”

Bordeaux:  “And because we can’t let you go by yourself, the whole squad’s coming with you.”

Grimm:  Grimm met Wilhelm’s grimace with a shrug.

Bordeaux and Pivot:  The resigned gesture made Bordeaux and Pivot laugh with merriment and acquiescence, respectively.

Bordeaux:  “Grimm’s learned how to handle himself, huh? What do you think, Pivot? Still worried?”
gpt
Pivot:  “…I give. You are here, young sir, and Wilhelm is here, and Grimm. This is Zergev Squadron. I am with you.”

Bordeaux:  “Don’t forget, Pivot, you’re here, too,” Bordeaux said. “All right, men, now we go for real!” He lifted his halberd to the sky. Everyone else in the unit raised their weapons as well and cheered. The squadron set out, the giant man at their head.

Wilhelm:  Wilhelm let out a breath as the only one who didn’t feel the same spirit. “I get dragged into one thing after another,” he muttered. He wanted to be steel. He wanted to be a perfect blade, free of impurities. But this wish was continually undermined by the distractions and frustrations that seemed to flock to him daily. Ruminating angrily, Wilhelm tried to work his way to the front of the ranks. That was when he noticed it: a red flower bobbing inconspicuously in one corner of the battlefield. Flowers bloomed even in war.

Wilhelm:  “Don’t be stupid!” he said to himself.
