Ah, Petra! Just the lady I have been looking for.
link Petra volume_up
Are you needing something, Ferdinand?
link Ferdinand volume_up
Why, yes! I do need something! Ahem...
link Ferdinand volume_up
♪Ravishing lady! Princess from a foreign land! How sharp and true the swords you hold in your hand!♪
link Ferdinand volume_up
♪Wilt thou not spar with me?♪
link Petra volume_up
Ah...huh?
link Ferdinand
...
link Ferdinand volume_up
How was that? Did I do it correctly? I want to be certain I understood the Brigid way.
link Petra volume_up
The...what?
link Ferdinand volume_up
You see, I was perusing a book on your customs the other day.
link Ferdinand volume_up
It was there that I came across a description of the proper way in which to make a request of members of the Brigid royal family.
link Ferdinand volume_up
Apparently, one is supposed to improvise their need in the form of a song while performing a small jig or rondo. I find it to be a most lovely tradition!
link Petra volume_up
I am not knowing of this...tradition.
link Ferdinand volume_up
You...do not know it? But I am correct that song and dance are very important in your homeland, yes?
link Petra volume_up
Yes, that is a truth. We are often singing and dancing as tribute to the spirits.
link Ferdinand volume_up
Then it has nothing to do with the royal family?
link Petra volume_up
Ah, now I have understanding. Something has gotten lost inside of the translation.
link Petra volume_up
The ruler of Brigid is often asking the spirits for protection. This involves singing and dancing both.
link Petra volume_up
The members of the royal family are not witnessing the performance. They are doing the performance.
link Petra volume_up
Also, it is for special occasions only. No one bursts into a song with suddenness. That is strange.
link Ferdinand volume_up
Yes, I am discovering that for myself...
link Ferdinand volume_up
I was convinced that Brigid must have some manner of odd custom that defies Fódlan convention.
link Petra volume_up
Ferdinand. What land of silliness are you thinking I am from?
link Ferdinand volume_up
What? No, I... This is all going quite horribly.
link Ferdinand volume_up
This is what I deserve for trusting that ridiculous book.
link Petra volume_up
Do not be worrying. Even books of greatness may contain mistakes.
link Petra volume_up
I once was reading that all Fódlan nobles are born in wells! Can you be imagining?
link Ferdinand volume_up
That is a ridiculous notion!
link Petra volume_up
And it was even within the title! "Fódlan's Nobility: A Day in the Life of the Wellborn."
link Ferdinand volume_up
Petra, "wellborn" is actually a word. It means one who is born into a noble bloodline.
link Petra volume_up
I am knowing that, Ferdinand! I was having a joke.
link Petra volume_up
I am not breaking into songs and dances, but I am breaking out the dictionary when I have the need.
link Ferdinand volume_up
A joke? I must say, this is quite surprising, Petra! You are unearthing my ignorance in spades today.
link Ferdinand volume_up
This is twice you have made me dine on dirt in a single conversation.
link Petra volume_up
Unearth. Spades. Dirt. Ah, I am understanding! You are having cleverness.
link Ferdinand volume_up
Well, no, that was merely a coincidence. But...I am glad you enjoyed it.
