Bulldog & Gandalf
Bulldog
I hear you talk about the weight of responsibility, but let’s cut the fluff. Tell me, what makes a man trustworthy when the stakes are high?
Gandalf
A man is trustworthy when he keeps his word, even when it costs him. He listens more than he speaks, remembers the small promises he makes, and shows that he can be counted on in quiet moments as well as in great ones. When the stakes are high, it’s the steady, honest actions over the long run that earn true trust.
Bulldog
Right. A real guy backs up his talk, even if it costs him. It’s the quiet, steady stuff that builds trust, not the flashy promises.
Gandalf
Indeed, a true companion keeps his word in silence as well as in triumph, and that quiet steadiness is what others rely on when the world shifts.
Bulldog
That’s what sets a real man apart—doing what he says, when it matters most.
Gandalf
Exactly. In the end, the weight of one's actions says more than any boast ever could.
Bulldog
That's how it is.
Gandalf
Yes, the real measure is in the deeds, not the words.
Bulldog
You got it, no fuss, just action.
Gandalf
Then let the action speak, for that is the true path.
