The ever-serious soldier stutters that he has come seeking a better understanding of love─a confession which Beatin, as is his wont, egregiously mishears and misinterprets as a desire to deeply understand <Emphasis>lumber</Emphasis>.

55,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BERT_000_009","Oho! Color me entirely unsurprised, for Bert the Beloved's flawless proposal has carried the day! Don't beat yourself up too much for supporting one of my vanquished foes, friend. I still welcome your assistance in any way you'd care to give it!"

58,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_LISETTE_000_012","Under different circumstances, I would perform the task myself, but given my own preconceptions about the man, I fear it may be difficult for me to remain an impartial observer. You will humor me this time, will you not?"

66,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_YWAIN_000_024","Take up a hobby, you say? Well, I do suppose that might afford me the chance to meet new people... But what manner of pastime would you propose?"

Not only is it a most virile and masculine activity fitting your ample physical prowess, it is sure to charm any lady searching for a man who pulls his weight around the house!"
70,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_YWAIN_000_028","Hmm. I cannot believe I am saying this, but...you may very well have a point."
71,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BERT_000_029","But of <Emphasis>course</Emphasis> I do! You'll be pleased to know that I've already worked out the details of your apprenticeship with Master Beatin.

78,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BEATINE_000_036","Could it truly be? Have I misjudged you all these years? Here, I thought you a thick-headed warrior, when in fact you were a sensitive soul! A kindred spirit who marvels at the majesty of oak─revels in the resilience of rosewood...!"
79,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BERT_000_037","Ah, forgive me, Master Beatin. It appears you misheard him. What Master Ywain's actually looking for is─"
80,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BEATINE_000_038","Well, why didn't you say so sooner, my boy!? My fellow guildmaster, a man after my own heart! Come, and I shall teach you to become one with the wood! To know every nook and cranny of every tree in the Twelveswood! "
81,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BEATINE_000_039","Yes, when I am through with you─and mind you, I will not rest until I have imparted <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> of my knowledge─you will understand the mighty trees from which your precious weapons are crafted as well─nay, better!─than you know how to wield them!"
82,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_YWAIN_000_040","I... I thank you, Master Beatin, but that was not quite what I had in─"
83,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BEATINE_000_041","Be not shy or afraid, my boy! The trees of the Twelveswood welcome you with open arms!"
84,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BEATINE_000_042","Now come this way, my compatriot in carpentry... The wondrous world of all that is wood awaits you!"
85,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BERT_000_050","I had heard the rumors of Master Beatin's boundless enthusiasm, but I must admit that turn of events caught me somewhat by surprise... "
86,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BERT_000_051","Why, I daresay the man's sheer passion nigh outstrips my own! At least when it comes to wood, that is. I do hope Guildmaster Ywain was not too overwhelmed."
87,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BERT_000_052","Still, our man was looking for an encounter full of ardor and affection, and he has certainly found one! For who is to say the man's meeting must involve the fairer sex? Man, woman, wood...in matters of the heart, I daresay the difference is immaterial. "
88,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BERT_000_053","At any rate, Lady Lisette is surely beside herself waiting to hear word of my inevitable rousing success. Let us go together and share the triumphant tidings!"
89,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_LISETTE_000_054","I do hope Bert's plan succeeded to our client's satisfaction. Why, I simply couldn't forgive myself if I allowed that overbearing fool to tarnish the good name of House Valentione..."
90,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BERT_100_060","You arrive at last, my friend! Rest assured that I have shared with Lady Lisette all the details of Ywain's encounter with Master Beatin. No doubt it is but a matter of moments until she declares my effort a resounding success."
91,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_LISETTE_000_060","Welcome back, my beloved friend! Bert has told me everything. To be perfectly honest with you, that was not precisely─or to be honest, not <Emphasis>at all</Emphasis> how I had envisioned everything working out..."
92,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_LISETTE_000_061","...Which is why I seek your opinion as one who has served me loyally in the name of love. What say you? Was Bert's unusual approach worthy of the title of emissary of ardor?"
93,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_Q1_000_000","What will you say?"
94,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_A1_000_001","That depends on the two of them..."
95,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_A1_000_002","It's a start, is it not?"
96,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_A1_000_003","There <Emphasis>are</Emphasis> many types of love..."
97,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_LISETTE_000_062","I suppose you are right. Their relationship now might simply be one of master and student, but when two men bond over a love of wood, who knows what sparks might fly, and what passions may yet be kindled?"
98,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_LISETTE_000_063","Indeed it is. After all, until today poor Ywain scarcely spoke with anyone but stoic soldiers not unlike himself. Now, he has found a kindred spirit with whom he might bond over a love for the natural world around him. Who am I─or anyone─to say where this might lead?"
99,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_LISETTE_000_064","Do you mean to say that our friend Ywain might, like Master Beatin, find his love for trees transcends all? I am not certain that is the sort of ardor we should be encouraging, but still...I suppose a passion for wood is better than no passion at all."
100,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_LISETTE_000_065","At any rate, I do believe I have heard all I need to render my verdict. Hear me, Bert. By the powers invested in me by my forebears, I, Lisette de Valentione..."
101,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_LISETTE_000_066","...Do hereby declare you a full-fledged emissary of ardor! Congratulations, my young associate! I can quite honestly say I never expected to see this day."
102,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_LISETTE_000_067","And with that, I have no qualms whatsoever placing the full of this year's Valentione's Day proceedings under your charge."

104,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BERT_000_069","Thank you, friend! I'd be lying if I said I couldn't have done it without you─the results were quite decisive, after all─but nevertheless I most appreciate you tagging along every─well, <Emphasis>almost</Emphasis> every step of the way to offer your support!"
105,"TEXT_FESVLT606_03757_BERT_000_070","...And with that, if you'll excuse me, I do believe I have a job to do. You! Yes, you! Over there!
