Ferdinand: Even at my most generous, the food here is merely adequate—but at least I get to share it with you.
Edelgard: You'd be lucky to go anywhere and find meals like those that grace the tables of most noble households.
Ferdinand: Heh. This reminds me of our younger, greener days. Perhaps I should challenge you to another speed- eating contest?
Edelgard: Only if you want me to question your sanity. I'm glad we've learned to enjoy a meal in peace.
Hubert
Ferdinand: Let me ask you something, Hubert. Have you ever told Edelgard that you, um...
Hubert: Mealtime is when you put food in your mouth, not your foot.
Ferdinand: Lately I find myself able to get more energy out of each meal. It is as if my body has overcome yet another hurdle!
Hubert: And here I thought you could stand from having a little less energy.
Dorothea
Ferdinand: Gah! My apologies. I will focus on the food, seeing as you were kind enough to treat me.
Dorothea: Well said, Ferdie.
Dorothea: It's easy to enjoy a relaxing meal when it's the three of us. You have my thanks.
Ferdinand: The honor is mine to be hearing such words from your lips!
Lorenz
Lorenz: So, why have you gathered two of Fódlan's most distinguished nobles here? Is there something you wish to ask of us?
Ferdinand: Well then, ask away. I swear on the honor of my house that we will answer both frankly and well.
