You were brilliant in the previous battle, Annette!
linkAnnettevolume_up
Aw, stop. You're gonna make me blush!
linkAnnettevolume_up
It's an honor to be complimented by one of the school of sorcery's most legendary alumni!
linkConstancevolume_up
I'm legendary now, am I? Well, I can't say I disagree.
linkAnnettevolume_up
I heard so many stories about you! Though I don't know how true any of them are.
linkAnnettevolume_up
Like, there's one where you turned a bunch of bossy noble kids into horses, apparently?
linkConstancevolume_up
Oh yes, I remember that spell. I titled it: "Wherefore Whinnies!"
linkConstancevolume_up
I was so overjoyed at having completed it that I began using it everywhere, and thus a tiny misunderstanding was born. Hahaha!
linkAnnettevolume_up
I also heard you were smart enough to argue magical theory with the teachers and win!
linkConstancevolume_up
Ugh, "arguing" is such a gauche way to put it.
linkConstancevolume_up
But these stories offer only a glimpse into who I am. Such trifling incidents are hardly worthy of the word "legendary."
linkAnnettevolume_up
Yeah, but it sounds like at least some of them actually happened, right?
linkAnnettevolume_up
I never dreamed I'd be fighting beside as big a legend as you. It honestly makes me kinda nervous.
linkConstancevolume_up
No need for such modesty. After all, you yourself are among the most talented women in all the Kingdom.
linkAnnettevolume_up
Oh gosh, that's high praise. Did a teacher say it, maybe?
linkConstancevolume_up
No. I merely happened to read that book you wrote during your time there.
linkAnnettevolume_up
Book? Oh! But no. No, no, nooo. I mean, I'm not even sure if I'd call that a book, so...
linkAnnettevolume_up
Really, it was more like a collection of memos on how to bake Mercie's treats.
linkConstancevolume_up
Making Magical Morsels, exactly! That book spoke to my very soul.
linkConstancevolume_up
The thought of using magic to simplify complicated cooking tasks was nothing short of revolutionary.
linkAnnettevolume_up
OK, but how did you get your hands on it? It was supposed to be private!
linkAnnettevolume_up
I mean, I did give a teacher permission to present one of the spells, but...
linkConstancevolume_up
Combining ice and wind magic to make the outside soft while the inside stays crunchy. Remarkable!
linkConstancevolume_up
It created a radical new movement of desserts that were softer, sweeter, and more divine than any which had come before!
linkConstancevolume_up
If you aren't proud of that, you can't be proud of anything! Though it is unfortunate the treats cannot be made without the use of the school's facilities...
linkAnnettevolume_up
Well, it's not that I'm not proud, but it's also not like I wrote it all by myself, either.
linkAnnettevolume_up
I mean sure, the magic was me. But Mercie's the one who taught me how to bake in the first place.
