>>5254059...Well that was a confession and a half. Farnese just proposed to run with you to the other side of the planet. Even she is somewhat shocked by what she just said, you can only hope she'll be as daring by your side as she is in this conversation.
Michelle's jaw is agape, her mind unravelling itself to even think of what to respond...
"I don't know how you came up with this idea, but I dont plan on going anywhere... This is my new life, I have come to terms with it. Vlad isn't interested in having a castle that rivals the old king, either... He already has a place to stay and fight for right here. We have done plenty, it's time to rest, so give up on your dreams and let your journey end as is, Farnese."
Your mother answers Farnese for you, expecting you to side with her. While it's true that you could end things here and live a peaceful life with Farnese while defending Ilos from intruders and monsters alike, eventually your bubble would burst thanks to the needle of causality. It would be temporary happiness with your family, but one that would last a lot longer than going out and challenging Griffith by yourself, provided that you did reach the levels of Guts and The Skull Knight to fight causality with them, you could always die way before finding Sivir's casket, or even before getting into a boat. Your mother is already growing old, so you even if she could use that hoe she carries around to defend herself, she's not exactly in prime conditions to fight apostles.
"Vlad, surely you wouldn't agree to this nonsense, would you?"
"This is the first time I'm hearing of her plan myself, but now that I've lent an ear to her, I believe..."
>Her plan is sound, we shall prove the Vandimions wrong.>Her heart is misguided, we should stay where we are.
