0. This war is going on and on. Do you think we will [cdb]ever have sight of the end?
1. Offer hope.
2. Temper expectations.
3. Yeah, I do. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but it's [cdb]definitely out there on the horizon.
4. It will be good to be putting this war behind us.
5. I wish I did, but we've still got a long way to go.
6. I do not have agreement. But I am understanding of [cdb]how you feel.
7. When the war is finished, what are you wishing to do?
8. That's a pretty big question.
9. Then I will give more clarity. How will you be [cdb]supporting yourself when your contract is completed?
10. If you have the desire, you could come to Brigid [cdb]with me.
11. Wait, seriously? I thought you were just pulling my [cdb]leg about that.
12. I would never be pulling your legs. Also, I am [cdb]speaking with seriousness.
13. After losing the war with the Empire, Brigid was [cdb]forced into becoming a vassal state.
14. But this war is giving Brigid the chance to stand on [cdb]equal feet again.
15. We will be opening our borders to Fódlan. The exchanges between us will flourish.
16. I am needing a person I can trust to give me help [cdb]with this.
17. Huh...
18. Please accept my apologies if the offer was given with [cdb]too much suddenness.
19. No, it's not that. I was just taking a moment to [cdb]admire you.
20. This war has been particularly ugly, and it seems like [cdb]we're tearing each other apart on a daily basis.
21. But people like you and Edelgard are already [cdb]thinking about what comes next. How to plan for it.
22. But people like you and Dimitri are already thinking [cdb]about what comes next. How to plan for it.
23. But people like you and Claude are already thinking [cdb]about what comes next. How to plan for it.
24. You're every bit the ruler they are.
25. No. I am different. I am the queen of Brigid.
26. We are the proud isles, placed upon the sea by the [cdb]spirits, who are watching over us to this day.
27. Our future has the brightness of the sun. I am hoping [cdb]you will be at my side as we are shaping it.
28. Express interest.
29. Say something vague and non-committal.
30. Powerful words—and I'm happy you put that much [cdb]stock in me.
31. Honestly, it's a good fit. I've got nothing tying me [cdb]down—no family, no titles, no property to speak of...
32. Petra, I just... Look, to be honest, I've never really [cdb]given this kind of thing any thought before.
33. Although I admit it sounds like a good fit—I've got [cdb]nothing tying me down. No family, no titles, [cdb]no property to speak of...
34. I am not asking for your answer in this moment. I know your sword is sold right now.
35. But when this war is over, I hope the making of a [cdb]decision is at the top of your to-be-doing list.
36. That is why I am approaching you so early. Because I [cdb]am very, very sneaky.
37. Ha! Fair enough. I'll keep that in mind.
38. And I don't blame you for trying to sneak ahead of [cdb]the competition. Honestly, I'm kinda flattered.
39. So how about this? Let's both make it through this [cdb]war unscathed and decide what comes next together.
