Well, you managed to charm me into wanting to work alongside you, right? Hah. So with that in mind, I’d say you’ve got more than enough people skills, Mr. Dedue. And much like your armor, I think a bit of polishing could do those skills a world of good.

Building on that, there’s really no better time to practice leaving a strong, lasting impression on others than when you’re stepping away from a role with grace. Although if we’re talking real good news, the best part is that you’ve found a workplace that genuinely values your experience.

The problem is, I do not know how I did that, so it would be hard to replicate.

Is that so? I am open to discussing how I should approach the conversation... I am a little nervous about it, and my soul does not like the change, and the stepping away from a task, even an unpaid one.

I, on the other hand, am glad to be moving somewhere I am more valued.

[His face flushes as he types that last part. Even suggesting that he has value feels arrogant and silly, somehow.]

I think it speaks more to your natural charm than anything else. Endearingly honest, with just enough understated compassion to where I wouldn’t try to reverse-engineer that sort of sentiment—it might come off more calculated than you intend, and you’re far better suited to sincerity.

That said, I wouldn’t mind helping you be a little less shy about showing it more often, especially while you're already making a clean break by handing in that resignation. Seems like a good place to start as any, while we're all here in Karteria.

Just let me know your schedule, and we’ll do our best to make sure the shift into your new workplace carries the same satisfaction you’re feeling now and right into day one.
