Me, me! Teach me how to cook next!
link Mercedes volume_up
All right. I will teach you a special recipe that is certain to delight everyone back at the church.

His Majesty is looking for you, Mercedes.

Ah!
link Mercedes volume_up
Goodness! Whatever was that about?
link Dedue volume_up
My apologies. I have a tendency to frighten animals and children.
link Dedue volume_up
Perhaps it's my imposing stature. Or perhaps it's because I'm from Duscur.
link Mercedes volume_up
I doubt animals know anything about the Tragedy of Duscur, Dedue.
link Mercedes volume_up
Still, I think I may know how to solve this little problem of yours.
link Dedue volume_up
Oh?
link Mercedes volume_up
You see, many of the children here have lost homes and families. They tend to be a fearful bunch.
link Mercedes volume_up
And as a large man who is also unnaturally quiet, you cut a doubly scary figure.
link Mercedes volume_up
So all we have to do is show them how not-scary you are.
link Dedue volume_up
And how do we do that?
link Mercedes volume_up
Come back tomorrow. I'll have it all worked out by then.
link Dedue volume_up
Hm. Very well.
link Dedue volume_up
Done. Here's your flower crown.
link ??? volume_up
Wow, mister! You're just as amazing as Miss Mercedes!
link ??? volume_up
Yeah, this is prettiest flower crown I've ever seen!
link ??? volume_up
It's like an actual royal crown. Make one for me! Please, please, pleeeeease!
link Dedue volume_up
I could, though it would be better to learn how to make your own.
link ??? volume_up
Aw, but my crowns always look all...blech.
link Dedue volume_up
Anyone can do it with enough practice.
link Dedue volume_up
Well, perhaps not anyone. But if you find it difficult, you can always ask a friend for help.
link ??? volume_up
Fine, I'll try. Um...so how do I start?
link Dedue volume_up
Twist the stem there and wrap it once—but gently.
link Mercedes volume_up
Well? How did it go? They certainly looked at ease around you.
link Dedue volume_up
They were indeed, and I owe it all to you.
link Mercedes volume_up
All I did was brag to them about the magnificent flower crown you made for me.
link Dedue volume_up
How very clever.
link Mercedes volume_up
Oh, please! I barely did a thing. It was your kindness that won them over.
link Dedue volume_up
You are the kind one, Mercedes. Thank you.
link ??? volume_up
Miss Mercedes! Mister Dedue! Look how far I am!
link Mercedes volume_up
Oh, that's wonderful! Might you teach me how to make one as well, Mister Dedue?
link Dedue volume_up
It would be my pleasure, Miss Mercedes.
