Gilbert Durandal and Rau le Creuset in “Unfinished Business”

Gilbert Durandal

I have to admit, it's amazing.

[appearing as a ghost beside him] What is?

Gilbert Durandal

The fights...the battles...the wars. People really love to fight, don't they?

And how are you different?

Gilbert Durandal

All I want is to win. Preferably without fighting.

But you know, there are some things that you can't win.

Gilbert Durandal

[thinks of Talia] Yes...I lost that day. Sometimes even when you fight, you can't win; an unobtainable victory. Then...why do people fight, even when death is inevitable? Why are we even born, for that matter?

[laughs] Like I said before: they exist only to find out that reason. You probably don't like that answer, though.

Gilbert Durandal

That's right. I'm sorry, but I'll have nothing to do with it; I will not be caught in an internal struggle, nor will I lose...like you did.
