Valas & Velvette
Velvette
Valas, I hear you collect broken weapons—any idea why a man so calm would be so fascinated by the failures of others?
Valas
Broken weapons are the battlefield’s truth tellers, nothing more. They show what fails and why, giving me data for the next plan. I keep them as a reminder that even a well‑made blade can break, so I never trust anything too polished. It’s a quiet way to learn from every loss.
Velvette
Interesting, Valas. I admire the honesty of your collection. Just be careful; some truths are harder to swallow than a broken blade.
Valas
Valas: Truths are like broken blades—cut them carefully, examine the cracks before you wield the piece, and keep the weight of them in mind. Not every truth needs to be held, only the ones that guide the next move.
Velvette
I see you’re polishing the edges of the truth like a jeweller cuts a gem—sharp but always a little frayed. Keep your knives dull enough to be useful but sharp enough to cut the next lie.
