- Dedue, sir. We'd like to hear your opinion on the
[cdb]matter we discussed earlier.
- Regarding Count Charon? As I discussed with
Gustave...
- ...
- Looks like things are finally changing, Dedue.
They've really started warming up to you, huh?
- They have.
- That soldier I was speaking to lost his mother in
Duscur. She was a knight of the Kingdom.
- Naturally, his feelings toward me were...complicated.
We argued many times.
- You, arguing? Can't imagine what that looks like.
- I thought it better than just letting him hurl abuse
[cdb]at me.
- Such a reaction was surprising for me as well.
- But now we have fought together. Worried together.
Faced death together.
- I have shown him what I'm capable of, and he has
[cdb]come to trust me in turn.
- Nice! Sounds like you really earned his respect, then.
Congrats, Dedue.
- Strange. Why are you so happy for me?
- Explain why.
- Deny it.
- Because we're friends, and friends are happy for each
[cdb]other when good stuff happens to them.
- Are they?
- Not sure I'm happy, per se. It's just nice having a
[cdb]good rival to spur me on.
- Heh. Is that how you see me?
- Anyway, now you've just gotta keep it going and get
[cdb]even more people to trust you.
- Same goes for me. And Dimitri, while we're at it.
- You're right.
- In the meantime, I'm gonna keep winning battles
[cdb]until I prove myself to you once and for all.
- So make sure you keep an eye on me out there,
Dedue, 'cause I'm gonna be the most valuable
[cdb]fighter we've got.
- Heh.
- What? What's so funny?
- Nothing. I look forward to your performance.
- But you already have my trust. No matter your origin
[cdb]or identity.
- Really? You never know when I might betray you and
[cdb]turn my sword on Dimitri, though.
- Not to mention this weird power I have. Can you
[cdb]seriously say you trust me with that in mind?
- Your power is concerning. But it does not define you.
- I'm sure you would not so easily betray His Majesty
[cdb]or myself.
- But know that if you do, I will cut you down without
[cdb]hesitation.
- That's who I am. You must understand by now.
- Weird way to tell me you trust me, but it's got Dedue
[cdb]written all over it. I'm honored.
