[That sure sounded like an inside joke if there ever was one. Dazai lifted a brow but made no further comment - his questions on the grail war aside, how was it that people with that smile seemed to carry interesting weights on their shoulders?]
Then having you here's like hitting the jackpot? [Yep, this was what he zoomed in on while the buzz in his brain got busier - Gawain was a more recognizable name, so was Bedivere describing what Dazai thought it was, what the hell?] And that has to be the most un-selfish wish I've heard of. 'Befitting of a knight,' one might say, but in the interest of minding how unscrupulous people can be, 'befitting of an ideal' may be more apt.
[Was he making fun of Bedivere? Probably, but his gaze carried a hint of fascination he wasn't aware he showed.]
Whatever the case, Sir Knight, consistently engaging in battle isn't the only way to victory. [Leaving the grail alone was probably out of the question if the other competitors were ruthless - getting hunted down would be inevitable, and letting an opponent pick the battlefield wasn't a wise choice when he and Bedivere had scant few options.] What, in your experience, makes for a strong Servant, anyway?
