Well, well. A cat. Does it live here?
linkEdelgardvolume_up
How should I know? I've certainly never seen it before this very moment.
linkLinhardtvolume_up
Really? Because it seems quite used to you.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
Yes, it... Oh, come out with it already! If you have something to say, just speak and stop this interminable dance!
linkLinhardtvolume_up
No, no! In fact, I like cats as well—especially ones that live near people.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
You? A cat person? I never thought I'd hear you say that.
linkLinhardtvolume_up
Why not? I find them charming.
linkLinhardtvolume_up
You have to admire the way they draw people in with their cuteness only to be waited on hand and foot.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
Linhardt, people don't take care of cats just because they're cute.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
Cats rid us of rodents and other vermin. They are fine pets who bring much solace to their owners.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
As I see it, people and cats have a good relationship because we do things for each other.
linkLinhardtvolume_up
Well, I wonder how the cats see it. Because it appears to me that they're just doing things their way and don't really care about anyone else.
linkLinhardtvolume_up
Now there's a charmed existence! Live as selfishly as you like and have people lavish you with praise and affection for it.
linkLinhardtvolume_up
Not to mention they'll never run out of food.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
Which just shows how much people value them. What does it matter if they're being selfish?
linkEdelgardvolume_up
To be honest, I'm surprised you have an opinion about cats at all.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
Have you owned one previously? Because I could use your advice if so.
linkLinhardtvolume_up
Please. Do I look like the sort of person to take on that kind of responsibility?
linkEdelgardvolume_up
You do not, hence my surprise.
linkLinhardtvolume_up
Ah, wait. Now I get it. I was wondering why you were being so cross with me.
linkLinhardtvolume_up
You're thinking about keeping this cat!
linkLinhardtvolume_up
But the implication that cats and I both want to lead the same easy life spoils the idea for you.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
What? I mean... Yes. That's it. You've caught me.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
Linhardt, listen. If you aspire to be a pet, that is your decision and yours alone.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
However, if you expect people to bend over backward for you, the least you can do is work for it.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
The problem with you is that you always—
linkLinhardtvolume_up
Please, Your Majesty, let's not do this now. Look! The kitty-cat wants you to snuggle-wuggle!
