Enough with the searching glances, Dimitri. Say what you're going to say.
link Dimitri volume_up
I was just thinking that I find it difficult to speak with you, even now that we have the opportunity to exchange words peaceably.
link Dimitri volume_up
Too many have died for us to suddenly have meaningful heart-to-heart conversation.
link Edelgard volume_up
Oh? That's not how I feel.
link Edelgard volume_up
Unless you mean you don't wish to speak with the tyrant you consider responsible for their deaths.
link Edelgard volume_up
In which case, let's just believe what we believe, accept that our paths have diverged, and see this through to the very end.
link Dimitri volume_up
You're placing words in my mouth. Still, I suppose that does cut to the heart of the matter.
link Dimitri volume_up
I will not claim that all my choices were right, but I accept responsibility for them. I made them carefully, and with full knowledge of the consequences.
link Edelgard volume_up
And I'd like to think I can say the same.
link Edelgard volume_up
But this is unproductive. We need to get out of here.
link Dimitri volume_up
Fair enough. But first, answer me this.
link Dimitri volume_up
Do you know what became of your mother, Anselma?
link Edelgard volume_up
Why would I?
link Dimitri volume_up
Someone told me that you would know how she met her end. Although I suspect that was nothing more than the dying ravings of a madwoman.
link Edelgard volume_up
It was. I haven't seen my mother since I was a child.
link Edelgard volume_up
It would've been right before she was exiled. You would know what happened better than I.
link Dimitri volume_up
I suppose so. Regardless, thank you for answering.
link Dimitri volume_up
Now, shall we get back to finding our way out?
link Edelgard volume_up
Please. We can't resolve anything so long as we're trapped in this... Ah!
link Dimitri volume_up
That was quite the tremor.
link Edelgard volume_up
Whatever this place is, I find myself liking it less by the moment.
link Dimitri volume_up
Can you stand?
link Edelgard volume_up
Yes, thank... Hmph.
link Dimitri volume_up
Perhaps we can put our differences aside, if only for the moment. Hostilities will do us no good here.
link Edelgard volume_up
Yes, I suppose you're right. I can agree to that.
link Edelgard volume_up
You know, I just remembered something. From back when I was but a child.
link Edelgard volume_up
I had fallen to the ground, and was met with a kind hand reaching out to help me up.
link Edelgard volume_up
I took it without thinking—without even looking first to see who it was. I suppose that shows you how much I've grown.
link Dimitri volume_up
Ah...
link Edelgard volume_up
Dimitri? What is it?
link Dimitri volume_up
I have a similar memory. One of helping a little girl who had fallen in the dirt.
link Edelgard volume_up
Knowing you, such occurrences would've been commonplace in your youth.
link Edelgard volume_up
Don't try to imply we share a memory.
link Dimitri volume_up
No, I rarely forget an important face. Often to my own woe, I might add.
link Edelgard volume_up
Enough. Let us end this before we both make greater fools of ourselves.
link Edelgard volume_up
We need to escape. That's our only priority.
link Edelgard volume_up
Not that the world outside will be any kinder to me than the one in here.
link Dimitri volume_up
Edelgard, I...
link Edelgard volume_up
What are you doing? You should know, I won't hesitate to leave you behind.
link Dimitri volume_up
Indeed. I'm coming, El.
