There you are, Marianne. I've been searching the
[cdb]entire base for you!
Yuri! Is something wrong?
This is what's wrong! Where do you think you're
[cdb]going at this hour?
You know, I've been worried this whole time that you
[cdb]might actually leave like you said you would...
Oh, no. I'm just walking my horse. I have him tied
[cdb]to the tree over there.
I just can't believe you'd ever think of...
Wait, what? You're walking a horse?
We got a late start, but I always take him out on
[cdb]certain days...
...
...
Right then. It seems I worried for nothing.
I'm sorry! It's all my fault!
There's no need to apologize. I'm just glad my
[cdb]worries turned out to be unfounded.
But...why are you so worried about me?
Actually, let me ask you a question. Could you turn
[cdb]a blind eye to a friend who says she'll "be gone soon,"
[cdb]and then can't be found anywhere?
The fact is, I have no worth to anyone here, so...
OK, knock that off. You've got plenty of worth.
For one, there are things you can do that even I can't.
In fact, this seems like a perfect chance to show
[cdb]you exactly why I was glaring at you that one day.
Yuri? Is something wrong with Dorte?
So your name's Dorte, hm? That's a lovely coat you
[cdb]have there. I see someone has groomed you to—
Ah...ah...ACHOO!
Eek! Are you all right?
Um, are you better now? What happened?
Isn't it obvious? That sort of thing always happens
[cdb]whenever I get too close to horses or cats.
And when the sneeze approaches, my eyes narrow
[cdb]reflexively. That's probably why it looked like I was
[cdb]glaring at you.
Luckily, it's mostly just sniffles, so I don't go out of
[cdb]my way to tell people about it.
Still, I probably should've told you from the start.
Apologies for giving you the wrong idea, Marianne.
No, it's all right. It's really my fault for jumping
[cdb]to conclusions...
And I'm sorry you had to pet my horse...
The next time you say sorry, I'm going to glare at you
[cdb]for re...for rea...for...
Oh! Um, would you mind if I tried some detoxifying
[cdb]magic on you?
I'm not certain it will have any effect, but it may
[cdb]temporarily alleviate your symptoms, at least.
Detoxifying, hm? You know, if this works, it may help
[cdb]one of my lifelong dreams come true.
It...would?
Most certainly. I'd love to go on a long trail ride or
[cdb]pet a room full of friendly cats all afternoon.
Um... Hahaha! I'm sorry, Yuri—I'm just so surprised!
Those are truly wonderful dreams to have.
And I would love to help you achieve them if I can.
I'd be glad to take you up on that offer. Do you see
[cdb]now why I said you aren't worthless?
Now let's do this, Marianne! Hit me with the most
[cdb]powerful magic you've got!
