Ve hunt!

You gonna do anything special, Dimo?

From:

I iz going to zee if any of de other old soldiers und samurai und vhatnot on de ship vanted to get togedder und tell stories or some such as dot. Sadly, ve doesn't have enough room for a proper celebration, vith trials of skill und vhatnot.

Und hyu?

From:

[sigh] Aside from makin' sure things don't get too outta hand with the celebrations -- since, y'know, job and all -- I don't really have any plans. The whole holiday never really meant anything to me, anyway. It's not like I feel any ties to my own country.

From:

Never really meant anyting to me until I became a soldier. I tink dot vonce hyu's been on de battlefield, it makes more sense.

Hyu vanna stop by for a drink or zometing, though? Hyu did goot on dot shipwreck.

From:

[chuckles] Haaah... for me, it's kinda the opposite. When shit happens that makes you question your loyalty, it's a little tough to be able to align yourself with anyone. [slight pause] When it comes down to it... bein' on the battlefield ain't got nothing to do with where you think your heart belongs.

... man, I'm gettin' way too serious about this. I'd be up for a drink, though. After all that near-death, I kind of need one.

And, uh, thanks, Dimo. Even though I didn't really do much but almost cripple myself. .. [snicker]

From:

Heh. Hyu iz velcome. Iz not like I did much better. Naoto vas de usefdul vun of us...

Drop by vhenever hyu vants. I'd be glad of de company.

From:

Sure thing.

From:

Huh? What did you mean by that?

From:

Just vhat I said. De Var for Independence, or vhatever it iz dot dey's calling it dese days? I vas dere. Got shot und everyting.

From:

Really? But you're still alive! That's amazing!

From:

*vaguely amused* I suppoze zo. I doesn't tink about it much dese days. It vas all part of de deal, anyvay. Best deal I ever made.

From:

Deal? What deal?

From:

Ah. Zorry. In exchange for my service over de years to de Heterodyne family, I got de long life, de teeth und claws, de strength--all of de tings dot goes vith being Jagerkin. I vas changed into vhat hyu zee, und I can't zay I haz ever regretted it.

From:

You became a demihuman? Now, that's really strange. So, you're technically a human?!

From:

If hyu vants to talk technicalities, sure. But humans iz zo breakable. I prefer being Jagerkin. Iz better. Much better.

From:

Tell me about it! Humans are pretty weak. I don't blame you for wanting to become a Jagawhatever-it's-called.

From:

*snort* Ja, indeed! Zounds like hyu gots de right idea. *laughs*

From:

Hmph. I've been a demihuman all mu life, and I wouldn't want it any other way. I'm proud of who I am!

Remarkable! The lifespan of a Jaeger is marvelous, indeed. I'm sure you have quite a few stories to tell.

From:

It's vhat I gots to vork vith. I try to keep tings interesting. I haz been lots of places, done lots of tings, und lived to tell about it. Dot's de important part.

Ahead of the game, indeed.
