Yeah. The difference can be as little as days or, you know. [He gestures limply.

Meeting Alfor is so much more awkward than he could have hoped. Granted, he never really thought about it? The guy was dead long before Lance entered the picture, so there was no reason to ever think this could be possible.

But anything is possible, here. He probably should have been expecting more of this.]

I am. [He sounds...proud. He might even puff his chest out a little bit.] But I don't pilot Blue anymore. [Might as well rip off that bandaid.]

I'm the Red Paladin.

[And as if to prove it, he pulls out his bayard - red and white and black, just like Alfor's.]
