Oh, it feels wonderful to be out on the town again.
link Dorothea volume_up
Wouldn't you agree, Petra?
link Petra volume_up
I would. It has been one battle after another battle. It is feeling good to rest.
link Dorothea volume_up
I know, right? I'm glad we stopped here. Just look at the market! So many stalls! So much life!
link Petra volume_up
This town must have been sending many soldiers to the war. I was thinking it would be filled with gloom.
link Petra volume_up
But the townsfolk are keeping high spirits. This is a good thing.
link Dorothea volume_up
Commoners are a lot more resilient than you think.
link Dorothea volume_up
It doesn't matter if there are arrows whizzing by their shops, or if there's a new lord to serve. They know how to adapt and carry on.
link Dorothea volume_up
Of course, it's different if they've lost family...
link Petra volume_up
Ah, yes. In Brigid, everyone is family. We fight as sisters and brothers and are mourning each loss.
link Dorothea volume_up
One big family, huh? Can't say that for Fódlan.
link Dorothea volume_up
It's a beautiful idea, but it must be awful in wartime. I can't imagine feeling like I've lost a sibling every time a person dies.
link Petra volume_up
Yes, times of war bring much sadness. But I am also thinking that war is less common.
link Petra volume_up
We are not squabbling over land or property because it is already belonging to all.
link Dorothea volume_up
That sounds wonderful, Petra.
link Petra volume_up
We are only squabbling over who is sitting on the throne. Oh, and lovers.
link Dorothea volume_up
Oh, so that's where things get messy? Juicy!
link ??? volume_up
Oy, ladies! Ain't safe for a couple'a prim skirts to be out here alone. Why doncha come with us?
link Dorothea volume_up
Keep walking, boys. Not interest— Ah!
link ??? volume_up
Shut up and move, girlie!
link Petra volume_up
Haaah!
link ??? volume_up
Whoa! What the—
link Petra volume_up
Watch out, Dorothea! This one has skill!
link ??? volume_up
Graaagh!
link Dorothea volume_up
Well, that was incredibly uncivil of them.
link Dorothea volume_up
Are you all right? You aren't hurt, are you?
link Petra volume_up
I am well. And you?
link Dorothea volume_up
Not a scratch. I'm so relieved those brutes didn't mess up that silky face of yours.
link Petra volume_up
But I am not wearing silk upon my face, Dorothea.
link Dorothea volume_up
No, I'm talking about your skin. It's lustrous and smooth, you know?
link Petra volume_up
This is a strange comparison. Silk is easily damaged. My skin has strength. Here. Feel.
link Dorothea volume_up
That's all right. I can tell just by looking.
link Petra volume_up
Then you are knowing that my skin is like steel. Not like silk.
link Petra volume_up
I am thinking we should be taking more care from now on. You are precious to me. I do not want to be losing you to thugs.
link Petra volume_up
One of them was a capable fighter. Please take my apologies for placing you in such danger.
link Petra volume_up
If anyone is trying such a thing again, I will be keeping you safe.
link Dorothea volume_up
Hey, you're special to me too, you know—and no one's gonna lay a finger on your head while I'm around!
