1. ...
  2. What's the matter, Ingrid? You sound exhausted.
  3. Oh, it is just that my father's work never ends.
  4. Writing battle reports, explaining our pegasus [cdb]maintenance costs... There's always something [cdb]that needs doing.
  5. I'm impressed that you, Felix, and His Majesty [cdb]manage to stay on top of it all.
  6. Are you sure you're OK, Ingrid? It isn't like you to be so worried.
  7. Perhaps I'm simply not suited for desk work. Ugh. I sound pathetic.
  8. That's my cue to pitch in and help out...by treating [cdb]a lovely lady to a fine meal!
  9. I thought you'd sworn off such flirtatious nonsense.
  10. Can't you just accept a generous offer for once [cdb]instead of immediately disparaging the giver?
  11. Maybe you're right. In that case, I accept!
  12. I reached a good stopping point anyway, [cdb]so I may as well eat on your coin.
  13. Phew! It has been some time since I've eaten [cdb]this much.
  14. I've been so busy lately, my meals have consisted [cdb]of whatever quick snack I can scrounge up in [cdb]the moment.
  15. Well, that makes the incredibly hefty bill worth it!
  16. Also, it's been a while since I've been able to [cdb]watch you eat. I think I kind of missed it.
  17. And what is that supposed to mean?
  18. Sorry! That came out all wrong!
  19. What I meant to say was that it's a relief to finally see [cdb]you enjoy a decent meal.
  20. I mean, we're basically family, you know? And I'm [cdb]sure Felix and Dimitri would feel the same way.
  21. Is that so?
  22. When we were talking earlier, you said something [cdb]about how a person can't cling to the past forever.
  23. Well, I think that's why it makes us so happy when [cdb]we realize some things never change.
  24. Some things never change, huh? Hmm...
  25. Hold on. That means you were still gawking at me as I ate!
  26. Yeah, but can you blame me? You are a fascinating eater.
  27. I mean, you're normally really serious, but when [cdb]you eat, it's like your entire face lights up!
  28. Do you even hear yourself?
  29. Yes, well, speaking of things that never change, I thought of an even more important one.
  30. What's that?
  31. Our friendship—the way we're there for each other [cdb]through thick and thin.
  32. Even if our relationship changes, we will always hold [cdb]each other dear.
  33. OK, that line is way too cheesy. Who taught you [cdb]to say that? What rogues have you been hanging [cdb]out with?!
  34. Stop complaining and come with me. I want to buy [cdb]some treats for everyone.
  35. I'd follow you to the ends of the earth, my lady!
