Dedue, sir. We'd like to hear your opinion on the matter we discussed earlier.
link Dedue volume_up
Regarding Count Charon? As I discussed with Gustave...

Looks like things are finally changing, Dedue. They've really started warming up to you, huh?
link Dedue volume_up
They have.
link Dedue volume_up
That soldier I was speaking to lost his mother in Duscur. She was a knight of the Kingdom.
link Dedue volume_up
Naturally, his feelings toward me were...complicated. We argued many times.
link Shez volume_up
You, arguing? Can't imagine what that looks like.
link Dedue volume_up
I thought it better than just letting him hurl abuse at me.
link Dedue volume_up
Such a reaction was surprising for me as well.
link Dedue volume_up
But now we have fought together. Worried together. Faced death together.
link Dedue volume_up
I have shown him what I'm capable of, and he has come to trust me in turn.
link Shez volume_up
Nice! Sounds like you really earned his respect, then. Congrats, Dedue.
link Dedue volume_up
Strange. Why are you so happy for me?
link Shez volume_up
Because we're friends, and friends are happy for each other when good stuff happens to them.
link Dedue volume_up
Are they?
link Shez volume_up
Not sure I'm happy, per se. It's just nice having a good rival to spur me on.
link Dedue volume_up
Heh. Is that how you see me?
link Shez volume_up
Anyway, now you've just gotta keep it going and get even more people to trust you.
link Shez volume_up
Same goes for me. And Dimitri, while we're at it.
link Dedue volume_up
You're right.
link Shez volume_up
In the meantime, I'm gonna keep winning battles until I prove myself to you once and for all.
link Shez volume_up
So make sure you keep an eye on me out there, Dedue, 'cause I'm gonna be the most valuable fighter we've got.
link Dedue volume_up
Heh.
link Shez volume_up
What? What's so funny?
link Dedue volume_up
Nothing. I look forward to your performance.
link Dedue volume_up
But you already have my trust. No matter your origin or identity.
link Shez volume_up
Really? You never know when I might betray you and turn my sword on Dimitri, though.
link Shez volume_up
Not to mention this weird power I have. Can you seriously say you trust me with that in mind?
link Dedue volume_up
Your power is concerning. But it does not define you.
link Dedue volume_up
I'm sure you would not so easily betray His Majesty or myself.
link Dedue volume_up
But know that if you do, I will cut you down without hesitation.
link Dedue volume_up
That's who I am. You must understand by now.
link Shez volume_up
Weird way to tell me you trust me, but it's got Dedue written all over it. I'm honored.
