"That's why you lay something on top of the stone first. Ideally something that soaks up the heat and passes it through to your body." Napping on a sun-warmed stone was a key life experience. It would be a shame if someone were not to experience it. Even if said someone was something of a buzzkill who would fit in well in either Farghus or with Ferdinand. Linhardt has not decided which yet.
An apology. That suggested Ferdinand: The Farghans tended to double down when they made mistakes or their worldview was questioned. Ferdinand was capable of recognizing his errors, which made him bearable.
"Thank you." Linhardt appreciated the apology. He wasn't the sort to hold grudges - what mattered was someone's current behavior. His primary interest when it came to conflict was always resolving whatever action or disagreement had led to it; he has no desire for revenge or to demand his feelings be acknowledged.
"I sincerely hope that I will not be in a situation where anyone is trying to kill me. I am tired of that experience; it has become tedious." And Thorne had done little to earn his participation in whatever conflicts they find themselves in, "I would prefer you flee rather than harbor any foolish thoughts of defense."
Linhardt didn't like people endangering themselves for him.
"It may be a noble calling but it's also a rather endless one. Like trying to move the ocean with a thimble." Save everyone so what? They can die the next time instead? It was wearing on him, "Especially when your patients go around doing things like offering defense to strangers." Was there something about being royal that made them like that? An allergy to self-preservation?
