• Alfur : What's wrong?

  Hilda : Frida's counting on me. I promised her I can fix this, but... what if we can't find the ghost?

  Alfur : Ah, this is precisely why an elf would never make a promise without a written document. That way, you can include disclaimers that absolve responsibility in the event the promise cannot be upheld.

  Hilda : But that's awful! Why even make a promise at all? You're admitting defeat before you even start.

  Alfur : No, you are protecting yourself *against* defeat.

  Hilda : You know, this isn't much of a pep talk. Can't you just say "You can do it!"?

  Alfur : Sure! You can do it!... "Statement for encouragement purposes only. You may not actually be able to do it".
