Makes sense.

[He's not really sure how much of Yuri's memory he'd be comfortable talking about so. Let's focus on what he's saying now.]

We don't really have nobles where I'm from.

[aubins]

Ah, some of them are alright. Some of them are corrupted assholes though.

[ ... ]

Maybe the latter outweights the former. Like anyone, there's good types and there's bad types.

[housewolf]

Have you run into a lot of the latter over the years?

[aubins]

Bad types are the ones who like to hoard the most power. And usually they're the ones with the most to lose, and the best to benefit from.

Better to leave the ones who are just trying their best alone, right? Unless I really need something from them.

[housewolf]

Makes sense to me. [Take from the best off, because they've got the most and they probably won't even miss it.]

What would you need from the other ones?

[aubins]

Supplies. Power. A word in the right ear, a foot in the right doorway.

Plenty of things.

[housewolf]

You talked about protection too.

What's it like where you're from?

[aubins]

In what context? I mean there's air, water, land... [ yuri ]

[housewolf]

[He laughs.]

You can just say you don't want to talk about it.

[aubins]

It's a pretty vague question. I could tell you the history of Fodlan, but then we'd be here for about the next seven hours.

[housewolf]

What do you feel like you need to protect? How's that?

[aubins]

My people.

[ that one's easy enough. ]

[housewolf]

Are they not protected right now?

[aubins]

We're five years into a war, so. No. No one is, really.

[housewolf]

What is it over?

[aubins]

What is any war over? Someone wanted to change the world with good intentions, and found that a continent wide war was the best option for it.

Other parts of the continent thought otherwise.

[ he smacks a fist into his palm and then just spreads his hands. ]

[housewolf]

[Sounds about right for historical wars. They're usually over some ideal or another.]

Think you're nearing the end?

[aubins]

No idea. Probably not.

[ he shrugs. ]

I mean, the tides been turned in one way but maybe not as much as we were hoping for.
