"...So it was that sentence."
Aleister sighed and changed the subject, "Speaking of which... Do you still feel the urge to pursue the Path of Transcendence?"
Watching as David's expression clearly became hesitant, Aleister added, "If you do, you can talk to me about it.
"After all, we're unlikely to see each other again in the future, and we don't move in the same social circles. You can treat me like a confidant, someone to vent to about those things you dare not say to those around you."
"...That still wouldn't be right."
Unexpectedly, David refused Aleister's suggestion.
"Why?"
"You and Mr. Aiwass are friends, and I respect him a lot. He's a remarkable person... kind, upright, and good-hearted."
"Knight" Sir hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "I don't want him to know that I'm someone with inclinations toward the Path of Transcendence."
...Wow.
You really know how to praise someone.
Aleister even felt choked by the praise for a moment, unsure how to respond.
