Goodness, I slept too much. A little fishing ought to snap me right awake.
link Petra volume_up
I am hearing you, Linhardt.
link Linhardt volume_up
Apparently so. Care to fish with me?
link Petra volume_up
Ah! O'er what wat'ry expanse wilst our hook'd morsel fly? What piscine denizen dost thou...thee? Nay, thou! Dost thou be intending to make thy quarry?
link Linhardt volume_up
Umm...
link Petra volume_up
In days of yore, I oft partooketh of the angler's art. Yea, forsooth! I was being quite adept!
link Petra volume_up
But in this place, thou are knowing thy waters better. Mayhap thou are being my guide...eth?
link Linhardt volume_up
Oh, that is wonderful.
link Linhardt volume_up
Is this about that love letter? You did say you were going to study up on the old speech.
link Linhardt volume_up
I was wondering why you were assaulting me with so many "thees" and "thous."
link Petra volume_up
Fódlan's old tongue gives me much more difficulty than the young one.
link Linhardt volume_up
Absolutely. Most people struggle to even write that way, let alone speak it.
link Linhardt volume_up
I'm in awe of you, Petra. What you've done is very, very impressive.
link Linhardt volume_up
I bet you could scour the continent and only find a handful of people who can form such sentences.
link Linhardt volume_up
I mean, people haven't spoken that way since the goddess herself walked the land.
link Petra volume_up
So speakers of this style are rare?
link Petra volume_up
I have been trying with hardness to learn how to be speaking like everyone else in Fódlan.
link Petra volume_up
And now I am finding success, but in the wrong century.
link Linhardt volume_up
I think you should be proud! This only goes to show how much of an aptitude you have for languages.
link Linhardt volume_up
You're not even from Fódlan and you can out-thou the best of us. That's fascinating.
link Linhardt volume_up
Thou art extremely fascinating, Petra! Haha!
link Petra volume_up
I am not understanding the funniness.
link Petra volume_up
Do the people of Fódlan truly never speak in this way?
link Linhardt volume_up
Usually only if they're a professional actor or trying to make a bit of a joke. But perhaps you're about to usher in a major comeback.
link Linhardt volume_up
In fact, I think we should schedule some time for you to coach me, Professor Petra.
link Petra volume_up
Me, teaching you? That idea is a wonderful one!
link Petra volume_up
You are usually teaching me so many things, and now I can be repaying the favor.
link Linhardt volume_up
It's almost a shame you've got your life mapped out as queen of Brigid.
link Linhardt volume_up
You'd make a fine academic. I don't suppose I could talk you into it?
link Petra volume_up
An...academic?
link Linhardt volume_up
Yes, a sort of professional scholar. It takes passion— and more importantly, luck—but you've got both.
link Petra volume_up
I do?
link Linhardt volume_up
Well, there's no question you're passionate and a hard worker, which just leaves the luck part.
link Linhardt volume_up
And I'd say you live a charmed life indeed if people are dropping you love letters in the middle of a war!
link Linhardt volume_up
What ever happened with that, by the way?
link Petra volume_up
I gave him my rejection and will never be seeing him again.
link Linhardt volume_up
What? Really? I'm dying to know more, but... Listen, just give the academia thing some thought, all right? You'd be perfect for it.
