We should all feel good about getting through that last battle with our heads still on our shoulders.

Thanks mostly to the two of you.
link Duke Gerth volume_up
Yes, you've set my mind at ease regarding our future prospects—and I've come out of it with a fine story for Lady Varley!
link Bernadetta volume_up
Oh, um, you did?
link Duke Gerth volume_up
Yes, she's been quite worried about you. But now I can tell her you're getting along wonderfully.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Um, thank you?
link Duke Gerth volume_up
And with that, I must take my leave.

Of all the Imperial nobles I've met, that guy seems like one of the most decent—and normal.

The kinda man you can trust.

Yes, what you see is what you get with the good duke. He's a truly honest soul.

But it all feels like an act somehow. If there's one thing I know about nobles, it's that they've always got other motives for the stuff they do.

Actually, Duke Gerth is a fine man in every respect. There isn't a hint of artifice about him.
link Monica volume_up
He tries to keep himself safe and sound, of course, but that's no different than any other noble.
link Shez volume_up
He also seemed pretty worried about Bernadetta.

So hey, are these caves great or what? All that cold, crisp air just settles right in here.
link Bernadetta volume_up
It would be a great place to curl up and hide.
link Shez volume_up
I...have no idea what you're talking about.
link Shez volume_up
I...have no idea what you're talking about.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Come on, you know! The mountain air? The clean type? It all settles down in the caves. I like that.

Hey, whatever you say.
link Shez volume_up
Hey, whatever you say.
link Monica volume_up
Such caves are often lairs for monsters as well.
link Monica volume_up
Oh, and bandits, obviously.
link Monica volume_up
When it comes to curling up, I think this would be more dangerous than cozy.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Y-yeah, that's actually a good point. It might be too dangerous to hang out here all alone.
link Monica volume_up
Plus, if heavy rains have been eroding the bedrock, a bad-enough storm could collapse the entire system.
link Monica volume_up
All that to say I think you're safer staying in a room with four man-made walls.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Fine, I won't hide in caves anymore! Are you happy?
link Shez volume_up
Anymore? But you're always just locked up in your room.
link Shez volume_up
Anymore? But you're always just locked up in your room.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Am not! We see each other all the time! Could a locked-up person do that, hm?
link Bernadetta volume_up
Am not! We see each other all the time! Could a locked-up person do that, hm?
link Shez volume_up
Uh, we really don't see each other much. When was the last time before today?
link Shez volume_up

link Bernadetta volume_up
Ugh, don't tease me!
link Bernadetta volume_up
Ugh, don't tease me!
link Shez volume_up
Uh, I guess not, no.
link Shez volume_up
Uh, I guess not, no.
link Bernadetta volume_up
You "guess"? So mean...
link Bernadetta volume_up

link Shez volume_up
Sorry, that came out wrong.
link Shez volume_up
Sorry, that came out wrong.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Apology accepted. But you better watch it!

link Monica volume_up
Well, I think we're done here. Let's head back.
