Sir Frederick, do you ever plan to retire? That is, will you appoint a successor to watch over Lord Chrom and Lady Lissa and their kin, so that you can spend your remaining years recovering from all the shenanigans they've gotten into? Or will you simply stand by your Lord's side till you leave this mortal coil? I understand you are a warrior in your prime, but it never hurts to get your affairs in order.

“I believe I should like to follow Sir Jagen’s example of serving as my lieges’ shield well into my autumn years. If I am fortunate enough to make it beyond that, then I suppose I shall have to hang up my sword and pass my mantle onto a worthy successor. Doing that, however, will not relieve me of my duty as a knight of the realm.”

“Should I ever be forced to step off the battlefield (be it because of age, injury, or whatever else have you), I would stay on to lend Lord Chrom my counsel and keep him in check from time to time. Having known milord since he was but a child, I can say that he has grown into a good man and a true ruler. I can also say that certain tendencies he has come as natural to him as breathing does. I believe that time will temper his more reckless inclinations, but heavens help us all if – at seventy – milord comes crashing through a wall while training his grandchildren.”

Spring has arrived and thus it's time for spring cleaning for the castle. While you have a staff of bulters and maids for this task, have you asked the fighters of Smash Bros.? I'm sure there are plenty who are willing to help and can perform the task in half the time. The Mario Bros. has those gadgets that can clean and blow the dust away, Ness and Lucas can use phychic powers to lift heavy objects and the inklings can give the castle a fresh coat of paint.

“Good stranger, I had most of the maids and butlers dismissed from Castle Ylisse some years ago when one of them made an attempt on my young liege’s life. It was an unpleasant experience -- to be sure --  but one made entirely out of necessity. Those we kept on merely see to the care of the royal family, while a thoroughly vetted team of groundskeepers to see to the castle’s upkeep... and then there’s me. When Lord Chrom and Lady Lissa needn’t my protection, I keep myself busy by scouring the castle of dust and debris one room at a time. One might think it beneath my station, but I daresay it is an excellent workout and a source of some much needed alone time.”

“...time our compatriots from the Smash Tournament would be intruding upon, I’m afraid. Even barring that, I fear they do more harm than good. Mario’s oddly sentient water device sprays with enough force to cut through stone, Luigi’s bizarre suction contraption can suck the souls from the deceased, Ness and Lucas’s powers are far more destructive than I’m comfortable with, and the inklings...”

“Dear gods, the inklings... Their ‘paint’ comes from their bodies. Coating Castle Ylisse in... that... would raise some serious health concerns.”

“No, good stranger, I believe I shall see to the spring cleaning myself. It’s far easier for me to organise, and besides... *ahem* I’ve been told that all manner of trouble follow our friends from abroad when they set their minds to a task. Heavens forbid our world has to contend with sentient sludge, ghosts, malevolent cephalopods, or... er, extradimensional terrors beyond our understanding.”

Frederick, how often do the Shepherds bathe? Is body odor a problem?

“Only as far as few Shepherds are concerned. For the most part, cleanliness is an important part of representing the realm. Each Shepherd is given a bar of soap every other week and is required to see to their own personal upkeep. We restock on fresh water whenever we are able, typically travelling from one civilised area to the next or by rivers and streams when in unfamiliar territory. Attendees of Fitness Hour and other training programs are dismissed to the showers after a good work out, and it’s all but required for returning soldiers to wash up after a battle.”

“However, water rationing is an important thing to consider. In arid places like Plegia, the luxury of regular bathing must be halted. In these circumstances, our Plegian allies come in quite handy. From them, we have learned that one doesn’t always need water to keep their body clean. Certain oils may be purchased cheaply in those regions and be applied to the body with a cloth to keep a person clean and fresh. What’s more, the desert sand is apparently cleansing in of itself. Many Plegians evidently see the act of bathing in water as a wasteful and frivolous practice.”

“In any event, most of the Shepherds take good care of themselves, and body odour is seldom a problem… until we begin to talk about Gaius. One might accuse me of being a classist for picking out a man from the slums for scrutiny, but commoners like young Donnel and even Vaike take better care of themselves than that filthy lout. Heavens forbid, I’ve heard that someone caught him rinsing out his hair in a watering trough meant for horses the other day. How he lives with himself is well beyond me.”
