Marianne? Ah, Marianne!
link Hilda volume_up
There you are! I thought you'd be in the chapel.
link Marianne volume_up
I, um... I went to pray earlier than usual today.
link Hilda volume_up
You're really committed to this whole "praying every single day" thing, aren't you?
link Marianne volume_up
Oh, no. It's nothing so grand.
link Marianne volume_up
And besides, praying to the goddess daily on behalf of my friends is really all I'm good for...
link Hilda volume_up
OK, stop. Seriously?
link Hilda volume_up
You're amazing, Marianne. There's a ton of stuff you do that no one else could possibly handle.
link Marianne volume_up
I suppose so?
link Hilda volume_up
Yeah, well, I know so.
link Marianne volume_up
Um, Hilda?
link Marianne volume_up
Why are you always so nice to me?
link Hilda volume_up
Huh? What do you mean?
link Marianne volume_up
Well, you have so many other close friends...
link Marianne volume_up
Yet you always seem to go out of your way to show me kindness and decency.
link Marianne volume_up
You even took responsibility when Judith was about to berate me during our armor-sorting escapade.
link Hilda volume_up
Yeah, I guess I did, huh? I totally forgot about that!
link Hilda volume_up
That takes me back. Poor Judith...
link Marianne volume_up
Hers was a great loss indeed.
link Hilda volume_up
Anyway, did I really cover for you back then? I honestly don't even remember.
link Marianne volume_up
Yes, and I have wondered ever since why you did such a thing.
link Hilda volume_up
Eh, it's no big deal. I guess I just wanted to be nice.
link Hilda volume_up
Seriously, Marianne, you're the best—and having you around makes my life a lot easier.
link Hilda volume_up
So just consider it my way of saying thanks for all the times you helped me out!
link Marianne volume_up
I've helped you?
link Hilda volume_up
Absolutely! You're my emotional support!
link Hilda volume_up
You're always around when I need a shoulder to cry on or somebody to listen when I get all mad.
link Hilda volume_up
You always know the exact right thing to say, and then you smile at the end of it and it's like... I don't know. It makes me all warm inside.
link Hilda volume_up
You do all that little stuff without even thinking of it, and it really keeps me going.
link Marianne volume_up
I never thought of it like that.
link Marianne volume_up
I had no idea you found me helpful.
link Marianne volume_up
If anything, I thought you considered me a burden.
link Marianne volume_up
Thank you, Hilda. Your words, they... They mean a lot to me.
link Marianne volume_up
And I will do my best to support you in all the days yet to come.
link Hilda volume_up
There's that smile! You never fail to brighten my day, Marianne.
