Ashe. You've come at the perfect time.
link Ashe volume_up
Why's that? Oh no! Am I interrupting?
link Dedue volume_up
Not at all. In fact, I'd like you to try this tea.
link Ashe volume_up
Uh, sure... Did you create this blend yourself?
link Dedue volume_up
I did. Your talk of medicinal herbs inspired me to study them.
link Dedue volume_up
I created a number of different brews, thinking I might find one suitable for His Majesty.
link Dedue volume_up
But first, I would like your opinion on the quality.
link Ashe volume_up
Taste testing, is it? I'd be happy to help!
link Ashe volume_up
Oh! This tastes like...
link Dedue volume_up
Yes? How do you find it?
link Ashe volume_up
Dedue, what did you use in this?
link Dedue volume_up
The same flower you gathered before, mixed with some other herbs, then steamed.
link Dedue volume_up
I read that doctors in the capital frequently concoct a similar blend. Does it not suit your tastes?
link Ashe volume_up
No, I love it. It actually reminds me of something...
link Ashe volume_up
Of course! This is what Lonato used to give me when he first took me in.
link Dedue volume_up
Lord Lonato used to brew this tea?
link Ashe volume_up
He sure did. Wow, this really takes me back.
link Ashe volume_up
I wasn't born into a noble family, so when I started living with Lonato, I had no idea how to act.
link Ashe volume_up
I was nervous as anything at first, but I'd always calm right down the moment I drank his tea.
link Dedue volume_up
I did read that this tea is useful for calming nerves.
link Dedue volume_up
Perhaps he was trying to make you feel at home.
link Ashe volume_up
That sounds like him.
link Ashe volume_up
I was pretty young at the time so I never knew what kind of tea it was, but this definitely has the same flavor.
link Ashe volume_up
Strange to think I've been in the capital for two years now and never came upon it again until today.
link Ashe volume_up
I wonder if Lonato ever served this tea to Grand Duke Rufus.
link Dedue volume_up
He never said?
link Ashe volume_up
No. I guess the two of them had a falling out a long time ago.
link Ashe volume_up
He never really talked about his time in the capital.
link Ashe volume_up
But I think he started studying herbs as a way to help the grand duke.
link Ashe volume_up
Just like you're studying them to aid His Majesty!
link Dedue volume_up
It's possible.
link Ashe volume_up
Anyway, thank you, Dedue! That really hit the spot.
link Ashe volume_up
Hey, would you teach me how to brew it sometime? I'd love to let everyone else try it.
link Dedue volume_up
Yes. Of course.
