*Without breaking his usual stiff expression, Gellius takes a seat. His poker face is exceptionally hard to read.*
When there's no fighting, all I do is train. Sorry to have made you go to this trouble.
*You tell Gellius it's your pleasure, and he lets out a little chuckle. His face is already slightly flushed.*
Hmmm? Oh, I'm already turning red? Sorry. I do like wine, but I can't drink much.
*Apparently noticing your gaze, Gellius smiles wryly.*
I'm not all that sociable, I guess, so I don't go drinking with people in private much.
*Come to think of it, though you see him practicing with others, you've never seen him out with friends socially.*
I'm a bit fearful of something, I suppose.
*Gellius murmurs these words but doesn't elaborate, choosing instead to drink in silence.*

... Pardon me?
*What Gellius mentioned last time about being "fearful of something" stuck with you, and you ask him about it. Gellius ponders this a bit, and then finally speaks.*
Those I spoke to yesterday are gone today. Just when I've gotten close with them, they're killed mercilessly before my eyes. That's something I just can't handle.
*You can certainly understand the sentiment behind his words. If you're just going to part ways, it's best to not get acquinted in the first place...*
*You fix your gaze on Gellius and describe the feelings that you've had in the past. The deaths of kings, the deaths of comrades. But also the new friendships that arise from that.*
*Becoming Stronger through the deepening of bonds.*
Bonds, eh? That certainly might be true. Even I have formed bonds that remain to this day.
*Gellius looks subtly pleased as he speaks his words.*
