An overabundance of any particular sin would be an annoyance.

[that's not really an explanation but it's what yuri's getting.]

[aubins]

So you spread it out as best you can?

[ ... he'll... accept these crumbs. ]

[probe]

Mm.

[rip yuri]

[aubins]

[ you must be so much fun at parties, pride. ]

Do I have to butter up your ego before you start sharing?

[probe]

[dryly:] I don't want any sort of buttering from you, no.

[aubins]

[ he snorts. ]

Just feel like keeping all your cards close to your chest?

[probe]

I tend to.

[aubins]

[ he nods. ]

So, ask someone else. [ he laughs. ] I can't really get mad about people keeping their secrets.

[probe]

You'll have better luck elsewhere.

[they tilt their head a little.] I'm not much for conversation.

[aubins]

[ hm. ]

What do you prefer then? If not conversation.

[probe]

To be left alone, mostly. [it's so dry it's almost a joke?]

[aubins]

[ a big

shrug ]

Wrong profession for that I think, Pride.

[probe]

A job is a job. Doesn't mean I have to love doing it.

[aubins]

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

[ he sounds? like he's quoting something maybe. ]

... Or just being determined enough to excel anyway.

[probe]

I enjoyed what I did before this.

[aubins]

[ he tilts his head


there is a clear question in his eyes ]

[probe]

You are welcome to guess.

[aubins]

[ becks' answer is: lawyer. but there are no lawyers in fire emblem. ]

I don't get any hints?

[probe]

I did it for money.

[stop being a dick, pride]

[aubins]

[ i mean. ]

That's why a lot of people do what they do.

[probe]

[they shift, adjusting their hood. yuri can see that their hands are claws - and that they have two thick gold bands tattooed around both wrists.]

Not giving you the answer. Guess or nothing.

[aubins]

[ hmmm... clawsies.... ]

I can't really say soldier, it's not like that pays amazingly. Something in politics?

[probe]

Mm. The first is not inaccurate.

[aubins]

Oh, really?

[ a clawsies soldier. ]

But not accurate either. Were you a hired guard of some kind?

[probe]

Not guard. Less... lawful.
