Irving my guy you don't have to go all in on being the boringest man alive.
We also don't have confirmation that Cia and Elias are Irving's age - my money is that Elias is older - so this just comes off as incredibly condescending.
: I'm eager to get out of Duskwater, I can tell you that.
: Really? I didn't see anything wrong with it.
Remember from the Elias/Irving conversation where Elias implies that Cia's life has been so terrible that Elias, a man who has presumably spent his life running from the Spanish Inqusition, empathizes with the crap she's gone through.
I don't remember if the game elaborates on that or not.
: Maybe a couple of hours.
Ok, or that would do it too.
: We were. That happens often, then?
: What's that?
: A tourist destination.
: Ah, I see. With the exception of recruitment tours, of course.
Alright, I'll give them credit - both Esme and Cia reference Delia being at war in living memory.
: Well, you've certainly put it behind you now. But the road ahead promises both change and challenge.
: I like a good challenge.
: Then you'll be good to have around.
: I always am!

: There, there, Cia. Who's my favorite patriotic ditz? You are! You are!
: I'm sorry, what?
: You were so eager to sign up for King and Country, just like me when I joined the Academy!
: Oh, I just wanted to leave Duskwater.
: Why? It seemed like a nice town.
: How long were you there for?
: A few hours. So?
: You were there for a few hours and you got attacked by bandits.
: Yeah... does that happen often?
: Not usually, but there's a bunch of that kind of crap going down in Duskwater. It's not a tourist destination and no one cares about it.
: Except for recruitment tours!
: Yea, every time the idiot kings start another war and get their asses handed to them press gangs come through our town!
: Well, all that's behind you now. There will be both change and challenge. Your description of life in the kingdom I have sworn my life to has not shaken my idealism in any significant way.
: I do love challenges.
: Great!
