Durotan & Falrik
Durotan
Falrik, I’ve seen your recklessness in the heat of battle, but tell me, how do you decide when a risk is worth the cost to your people?
Falrik
Sure thing, the question always comes up. I stare at the odds like a drone scans a battlefield, spot the sweet spot where a risk could spin the tide, then I ask myself two quick things: can the team survive the hit if it fails, and does the payoff push us a step closer to the goal? If the risk is a quick shot that could cripple an enemy and the crew can shrug off a few losses, I go for it. If it means leaving the crew in the dark with a broken engine or a missed deadline, I back off. Basically, I’m all about the payoff-to-pain ratio, and I’ll never let a careless decision cost more than the mission itself.
Durotan
Your method is sound, Falrik, but remember that the measure of a risk is not only the outcome, but also the honor we give to the people who stand beside us. A decision that saves a few lives but tarnishes our name may be as costly as a loss in battle. Keep your eyes on both the battlefield and the hearth.
Falrik
Got it, you’re right – glory’s a currency just as real as ammo. I’ll keep my drones on the front line and the word on the back. No glory for the faint‑heart.
Durotan
Your resolve is clear, Falrik. Let the front line speak and the back keep the honor. Just remember the true glory is in protecting our kin, not just in victories.
