Aloof Knight
A few days after the incident with Gunther comes to a close, Siegfried prepares to set off on a journey alone to find a way to halt his body's transformation into a dragon. (Captain) and the crew catch him on the way out.
A few days pass since the incident with Gunther, captain of the former Royal Knights of Feendrache.
Once the dust settles, (Captain) and the crew get ready to return on their journey and make their way toward the port.
Lyria: Huh? Isn't that Siegfried walking over there?
Vyrn: Heeeey, Siegfried! Wait up!
Siegfried: Hm?
Siegfried: Oh, well if it isn't (Captain), Vyrn, and Lyria. Leaving the island?
Lyria: Yes! Are you headed for the port as well?
Siegfried: Indeed. Somewhere out there I'll hopefully find a way to stop this dragon transformation from progressing.
A long time ago, Siegfried fought to seal the dragon Fafnir in the Howling Valley of Feendrache and was bathed in its blood.
As a result of that incident, he received powers beyond the capabilities of a normal person. One such power is his body's extraordinary regenerative abilities.
However, these powers did not come without consequences. Siegfried recently confirmed that his body is slowly turning into that of a dragon's.
He lost control of himself in a rampage of destruction during the incident with Gunther.
Lyria: Stopping you the first time was tough enough... I really hope we won't have to do it again.
Siegfried: Lancelot and the rest promised to stop me if I ever lose control again.
Siegfried: And while I am grateful and believe in their abilities to uphold that promise...
Siegfried: I won't sit around and do nothing myself. There has to be a solution out there somewhere.
Vyrn: I get what you're tryin' to do, but are you really gonna run off on your own again?
Lyria: Is it really safe for you to leave by yourself? What if you suddenly transform again?
Siegfried: The alma I took has cured everything Gunther did to me, so there should be nothing to worry about at the moment.
Siegfried: My body is functioning as normal, and as long as I live my life as usual, the transformation shouldn't progress significantly.
Lyria: That's a relief to hear, but...
While Lyria hesitates to speak further, (Captain) fixes a concerned gaze onto Siegfried too.
Siegfried: Heh, looks like I've even made you youngsters worry after me.
Siegfried: Or perhaps this is a natural response, considering these transformations are unpredictable.
Vyrn: You got that right. So rely on others a little bit more, you hear?
Siegfried: Hmph. I really should have learned my lesson after all that's happened.
Siegfried: But it's hard to shake these loner habits of mine. It's quite frustrating.
He gives a wry smile as he reflects on his past actions.
Lyria: Why do you do things alone so often?
Lyria: It doesn't seem like you don't believe in other people...
Siegfried: Hmm. If I had to give a reason, I suppose it's because of the way I grew up.
Siegfried: You're not the only ones who've pointed this out to me either. King Josef once spoke to me about it long ago.
King Josef: Siegfried, it's not as if you're especially poor at cooperating with those around you.
King Josef: As a leader, your commands are precise and lead Feendrache to victory. I have no doubts as to your capabilities there.
King Josef: However, you never seem to know what to do when others reach out to you in your times of need.
King Josef: Surviving through countless harsh circumstances has given you strength, but also left you accustomed to solving issues on your own.
King Josef: That independence is your strength, as well as your weakness.
King Josef: I'm sure you yourself are quite familiar with this fact.
Siegfried: Lancelot captures people's hearts with humor, upholds honor and order, and is an exemplary knight who unites his troops.
Siegfried: Percival requests assistance straightforwardly from those he sets his sights on and works tirelessly toward his ideal self.
Siegfried: And Vane respects others regardless of station and strives to become a better protector of the people. Not to mention the next generation of knights following after their leads.
Siegfried: They all have one thing in common—they become incredibly strong when they band together with others. I would do well to learn from their examples.
Siegfried: And of course, I can't forget the people that I've had the luck and pleasure of becoming friends with and the worry they display over my current issue.
Siegfried: I have all the help I can ever need, but whether or not I can change...
Staring up at the clear sky, Siegfried trails off halfway through his own mumblings.
Choose: Then let's start changing right now!
Siegfried: Hm? What are you proposing?
Lyria: I think (Captain) means you should come aboard and travel with us!
Choose: Are you scared of change?
Siegfried: I wonder. I've never consciously felt scared, but...
Vyrn: Don'tcha think you're thinkin' about this too hard, Siegfried?
Lyria: When you tried to save Gunther, you made sure to ask for help, which just goes to show you can do it if you try!
Lyria: We want to help you too, so why not travel with us and search for a solution together?
(Captain) gives a big smile as well and invites Siegfried aboard with a bright "Come on, join us!"
Siegfried: Heh, such a lighthearted invitation is befitting of someone so cheerful. It's certainly one of your good qualities.

Vyrn: Well, we're not sayin' that it's impossible to figure it out on your own, but don't feel pressured to join us if you don't wanna.
Vyrn: On the other hand, don't feel like you're imposin' either. We've known each other long enough, and we'd love to have you aboard!
Lyria: We definitely want to do what we can for you! Right, (Captain)?
Siegfried: Given all that, I don't believe I can refuse.
Siegfried: I hope I won't be too much of a handful for you, (Captain).
With his overwhelming strength comes solitude.
Now confronted with an issue that is difficult to tackle alone, however, his stubborn heart may slowly begin to change.
