Why, if it isn't Captain Jeralt himself! A very good day to you... Oh my.
link Jeralt volume_up
You OK there?
link Manuela volume_up
Those strong, broad shoulders... Those rugged, yet handsome features...
link Manuela volume_up
I never realized you were such an attractive man!
link Manuela volume_up
How did I miss it until now? For shame! Get it together, Manuela.
link Jeralt volume_up
I hope you're not wasting time flirting with an old buzzard like me.
link Jeralt volume_up
Don't get me wrong—I'm flattered. But at my age, affairs of the heart are nothing but trouble.
link Jeralt volume_up
If you're looking for a catch, cast your net elsewhere. You might even find a fish closer to your own age.
link Manuela volume_up
Ooh, that blunt and aloof attitude makes you even more desirable! The years have given you a charm that less experienced men lack.
link Manuela volume_up
You know who I am, yes? Manuela Casagranda? I used to be a diva in the Mittelfrank Opera Company, and was known far and wide as the Divine Songstress.
link Manuela volume_up
And here you are, the legendary mercenary known as Jeralt the Blade Breaker...
link Manuela volume_up
Why, we are the sort of duo that could shake Fódlan to its very core!
link Jeralt volume_up
You sang in the Mittelfrank Opera Company?
link Manuela volume_up
I did indeed. Have you ever seen a performance?
link Jeralt volume_up
No.
link Manuela volume_up
Oh, I...see. But you've heard of them, at least?
link Jeralt volume_up
Sure. I actually have a memory associated with that particular troupe. It's just...not a happy one.
link Manuela volume_up
Oh dear. What kind of memory, if you don't mind my asking?
link Jeralt volume_up
It's not really something I want to discuss.
link Manuela volume_up
There's no need to be coy! I just want to know more about you.
link Jeralt volume_up
It's a memory of my wife.
link Jeralt volume_up
A long time ago, I promised I'd take her to see an opera in Enbarr.
link Jeralt volume_up
But I never had the chance to keep that promise.
link Manuela volume_up
Ah. I see...
link Manuela volume_up
I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to dredge up any painful memories.
link Jeralt volume_up
No, it's all right. I'm sorry that my story took the color right out of your pretty face.
link Jeralt volume_up
It was a long time ago, and I hadn't thought about it in an age. So don't worry yourself, young lady.
link Manuela volume_up
Oh my! I can't remember the last time someone called me by so wonderful a moniker...
link Jeralt volume_up
There's that smile again. Compared to my ugly mug, you've got the face of an angel.
link Jeralt volume_up
No reason to waste your time with an old piece of leather like me.
link Manuela volume_up
Ah...
