[sageguidance]

[ well, ]

Yes, to put it simply, I suppose that is it.
There is much we have faced as one, and it would not do for me to give up. Not here, or anywhere.

[guestservices]

thats the spirit
im sure the people waiting for you would be proud
if you can keep that up for the duration of your stay

[sageguidance]

Well, there will be at least one person quite cross with me if I don't.

[guestservices]

your hostage i assume
or someone else?

[sageguidance]

No, that is correct.
Though I rather mislike to use "my hostage", regardless of how true it is.

[guestservices]

your sister then
twins? if i remember right

[sageguidance]

Do you know her?

[guestservices]

cant say i do
but weve got files on you guys so were a little familiar with this sort of stuff

[sageguidance]

I suppose so, but that is more detailed than I would have expected.
You are correct. She is my twin sister.

[guestservices]

id be curious to know how you expect us to do our jobs without knowing at least the basics about you guys haha
but makes sense
family seems very important

[sageguidance]

Truth be told, I am surprised there is as much work to be done as you claim.
Not that I mean to diminish your efforts, but I cannot imagine we're that demanding of a group.

[guestservices]

its not so much that its demanding
its that theres like 4 times as many of you as there are of us
so we kind of have to be in the loop to divide and conquer or whatever

[sageguidance]

Perhaps so. I will not claim to understand how these operations work.
You are, at least, being properly compensated for it?

[guestservices]

were fine
a lot of you seem really concerned about the payment?

[sageguidance]

It comes from curiosity, I assure you.
And the slight puzzlement that comes from discovering that this is, evidently, a job one could have at all.
Had you any idea what it entailed when you took it on?

[guestservices]

youve never had a job where your duties changed the longer you were employed?
its not really unusual

[sageguidance]

[ i'm TOO RICH to have a REAL JOB, sir/madam ]

Mine have typically remained consistent, but I do not think my line of work is comparable to yours.

[guestservices]

what exactly does your line of work do though?

[sageguidance]

To put it simply, we assist the leaders of the various nations throughout Eorzea and our allies beyond, be it matters of diplomacy or acting as fellow soldiers in war.

[guestservices]

and how do you even get into something like that?

[sageguidance]

The original incarnation of our organization was founded by my grandfather, so you could say it was family influence that allowed me to have a place within it.

[guestservices]

family tradition
never considered doing something else?

[sageguidance]

There is naught else I would find more satisfying, I feel. Oft is it difficult work, but full glad am I to do it.

[guestservices]

i guess thats fair
but i would hope its something you want to do
and not something you feel like you have to
thats all

[sageguidance]

Of course, though you need not worry. It was mine own decision to follow in my grandfather's footsteps from the beginning.
If anything, I had gotten into a number of arguments with my father about it, for he deeply disapproved of this decision.
