"Hey, don't beat yourself up about it. At least you can open a sauna, charge exorbitant prices, and become rich. I'm a Lucen obviously, and a Phorros. How am I gonna make money outta that? And look at the bright side. You're better at manipulating Elpis and Viper than me, eh?" 

Ryan laughed a bit at his own joke and went back to eating his orange. "I suppose that notion won't cheer you up that much, but who knows? With a little practice, you just might be the best. People aren't going to expect someone who is both Elpis and Viper. You've got the element of surprise on your side. Maybe it's just a sign, that perhaps you have to be stronger, more confident."
