- Oh, hello there. Are you doing some research?
- Yeah, I was just looking through records of past
[cdb]battles. Figure I'll probably run into some similar
[cdb]situations.
- That's admirable of you. I thought that someone
[cdb]with a mercenary background would be a little more
[cdb]reckless with their fighting.
- Oh, wait, I'm sorry. That sounded a bit rude,
[cdb]didn't it?
- No, you're right. My fighting style was pretty loose
[cdb]when I was a mercenary.
- Actually, I can't say it's really changed that much.
But I've got more responsibility now, so I've had to
[cdb]adjust some.
- Any mistakes I make would only cause problems for
[cdb]everyone else, right?
- Huh, you're much more studious than I thought.
I can see why Claude trusts you so much.
- Huh, you're much more studious than I thought.
I can see why Edelgard trusts you so much.
- You really think I'm held in such high regard?
- That's what I've heard, at least. It's very impressive,
[cdb]especially since you're so young.
- Thanks, Lysithea! And the same goes for you too.
For a kid, you're amazing at what you do.
- Excuse me? Who is a kid?
- Huh? Well, you are...
- I must ask that you refrain from treating me
[cdb]like a child!
- Uh, I wasn't trying to—
- You said, and I quote, "for a kid."
- I'm aware that people often treat me like a child,
[cdb]but to think you'd call me one directly to my face!
- I work harder and contribute more to this army
[cdb]than anyone else here.
- It is truly vexing that something as inconsequential as
[cdb]my age can dictate how people treat me!
- Uh...I'm sorry. I had no idea you hated being treated
[cdb]like a kid that much.
- Ugh! This is not a matter of like or dislike.
- My belief is that those who fight alongside each other
[cdb]should treat one another as equals.
- Agree that's what you meant.
- Defend what you said.
- Well, yeah. I thought I was complimenting you as
[cdb]an equal, obviously.
- Then there is no need for any qualifying language.
You should compliment me as you would anyone else.
- But you're clearly younger than me, so it's just natural
[cdb]that I'd bring it up.
- Oh, so you think it's "natural" for a person to look
[cdb]down on someone who's younger, hm?
- Hold on, didn't you tell me I was impressive for
[cdb]being so young?
- Doesn't that mean you assessed me based on
[cdb]my age, too?
- Me saying you're impressive in spite of your age is
[cdb]completely different than you saying I'm pretty good
[cdb]for a weak little baby!
- Pretty sure I didn't phrase it like that.
- But it's what you meant! Oh, I should've never
[cdb]complimented you!
- You know, an adult wouldn't get all stubborn and
[cdb]combative like this.
- Hmph. I am not being combative. I'm simply having
[cdb]a normal conversation with you. Is that a problem?
- What about this is normal to you? Hah...
