1. Um... May I speak with you a moment?
  2. Oh, yeah, I was just about to take a break. You need something?
  3. Our relationship has been strained for a while, [cdb]so I thought it was time to resolve our issues.
  4. Uh... It has?
  5. Yes. At least I've felt that way, ever since the incident.
  6. The pastry incident?
  7. The ghost incident?
  8. Oh, you mean that time I found you hiding out and [cdb]chowing down on some pastries?
  9. Oh, you mean that time you were hollering about [cdb]some ghost, but it turned out to be a dead tree?
  10. I didn't think anything about that. And I didn't tell [cdb]anyone either.
  11. No, not that! Well, yes, there was that, but there was [cdb]another, more defining incident, remember?
  12. Are you talking about the time I treated you like [cdb]a kid and you got all mad?
  13. Yes, of course that's what I'm talking about.
  14. That happened a long time ago. Has it really been [cdb]eating at you ever since?
  15. Well, I mean, I was unable to maintain my composure [cdb]and got rather aggressive with you over trivial details.
  16. I kept telling myself that I had to apologize, [cdb]but I could never bring myself to do it. But now... I'm, uh... I'm sorry.
  17. Well, I'd like to apologize too. I should've been more [cdb]careful with what I said.
  18. Why does being called a kid upset you so much?
  19. If you don't think of yourself that way, then any [cdb]comments of the kind should be like water off [cdb]a duck's back.
  20. Look, I'm a tiny bit younger than everyone else, [cdb]and it doesn't help that I'm shorter too.
  21. Plus, I do have somewhat of a baby face.
  22. Really? You don't look that young to me.
  23. You... You don't think so?
  24. Yeah. Now that I really look at you, I think you're [cdb]a very pretty young woman. You act real mature too.
  25. Oh, no, I'm not really...
  26. But most importantly, your skill at commanding [cdb]troops puts all the real adults to shame.
  27. Hold on. "Real adults"?! So what you're saying is [cdb]that I'm ultimately still just a child!
  28. Ah crud, I misspoke. What I meant was...
  29. There you go, making excuses again. Now I know exactly what you think of me.
  30. This conversation's going sideways again, isn't it?
  31. Hmph! It would seem so. Though... I suppose [cdb]forgiving you would be the mature thing to do.
  32. Hey, there you go! See? You are a real [cdb]grown-up, Lysithea!
  33. Something about this still rubs me the wrong way, [cdb]but... Oh fine. I just ask that you keep treating me [cdb]like the adult I am.
