- Oh, it feels wonderful to be out on the town again.
- Wouldn't you agree, Petra?
- I would. It has been one battle after another battle.
It is feeling good to rest.
- I know, right? I'm glad we stopped here. Just look at
[cdb]the market! So many stalls! So much life!
- This town must have been sending many soldiers to
[cdb]the war. I was thinking it would be filled with gloom.
- But the townsfolk are keeping high spirits.
This is a good thing.
- Commoners are a lot more resilient than you think.
- It doesn't matter if there are arrows whizzing by
[cdb]their shops, or if there's a new lord to serve. They
[cdb]know how to adapt and carry on.
- Of course, it's different if they've lost family...
- Ah, yes. In Brigid, everyone is family. We fight as
[cdb]sisters and brothers and are mourning each loss.
- One big family, huh? Can't say that for Fódlan.
- It's a beautiful idea, but it must be awful in wartime.
I can't imagine feeling like I've lost a sibling every
[cdb]time a person dies.
- Yes, times of war bring much sadness. But I am also
[cdb]thinking that war is less common.
- We are not squabbling over land or property because
[cdb]it is already belonging to all.
- That sounds wonderful, Petra.
- We are only squabbling over who is sitting on the
[cdb]throne. Oh, and lovers.
- Oh, so that's where things get messy? Juicy!
- Oy, ladies! Ain't safe for a couple'a prim skirts to be
[cdb]out here alone. Why doncha come with us?
- Keep walking, boys. Not interest— Ah!
- Shut up and move, girlie!
- Haaah!
- Whoa! What the—
- Watch out, Dorothea! This one has skill!
- Graaagh!
- Well, that was incredibly uncivil of them.
- Are you all right? You aren't hurt, are you?
- I am well. And you?
- Not a scratch. I'm so relieved those brutes didn't
[cdb]mess up that silky face of yours.
- But I am not wearing silk upon my face, Dorothea.
- No, I'm talking about your skin. It's lustrous and
[cdb]smooth, you know?
- This is a strange comparison. Silk is easily damaged.
My skin has strength. Here. Feel.
- That's all right. I can tell just by looking.
- Then you are knowing that my skin is like steel.
Not like silk.
- I am thinking we should be taking more care from
[cdb]now on. You are precious to me. I do not want to be
[cdb]losing you to thugs.
- One of them was a capable fighter. Please take my
[cdb]apologies for placing you in such danger.
- If anyone is trying such a thing again, I will be
[cdb]keeping you safe.
- Hey, you're special to me too, you know—and no
[cdb]one's gonna lay a finger on your head while I'm
[cdb]around!
