- So it's just "no"? Not under any circumstances?
- It is not up for debate. This is for your own
[cdb]good, Flayn.
- ...
- Hey, you OK, Flayn? Why the long face?
- My brother has seen fit to forbid me from going out
[cdb]entirely.
- That doesn't sound unusual for him. But as long as he
[cdb]doesn't know, what's the harm, right?
- A fair point, but my brother truly is concerned for my
[cdb]safety. Perhaps...
- It does seem like the church has enemies all over the
[cdb]place these days. So I dunno, I think I get where he's
[cdb]coming from.
- As you know, my brother and I have lived in remote
[cdb]and secluded places for a very long time. All we had
[cdb]was each other.
- Then we went to Garreg Mach and suddenly we were
[cdb]surrounded by all these people.
- I had hoped to make many friends and listen to their
[cdb]countless tales of all the places I hadn't been.
- But before I got to really know the people at the
Officers Academy...
- Everything went all topsy-turvy, and the academy had
[cdb]to shut down.
- Do you remember when we went into town together,
[cdb]to look at the latest fashions?
- That was so much fun.
- I was looking forward to going shopping together
[cdb]again, but...
- Perhaps I should just let the whole thing go.
- Aw, Flayn...
- Don't give up.
- That's probably for the best.
- Don't give up so easily. We're just talking about
[cdb]a little outing here.
- Even that would prove tremendously difficult for me.
- We don't know where the church's enemies will pop
[cdb]up next, so it's probably for the best. I'm sorry.
- I know. I must face the facts.
- With the church thrown into such chaos, my brother
[cdb]is in a near-constant state of agitation.
- I must not trouble him further by making him worry
[cdb]about me as well.
- You're very kind to your brother, Flayn.
Just remember, it won't always be like this.
- You think so?
- Absolutely. Wars can't last forever, right?
- When this war ends and peace returns to Fódlan,
[cdb]taking a shopping trip will be no big deal.
- If that is so, then would you be willing to go into
[cdb]town with me again when that day comes?
- Of course. I'd be happy to keep you company.
Or were you keeping me company? I forgot.
- With that to look forward to, it should be no trouble
[cdb]to summon a little patience!
- It is times like this I am grateful you're not a man!
- What? Oh, you mean because of Seteth...
- Yes. I'm not sure my brother will permit me to go
[cdb]anywhere with a man, even when the war is over.
- You'll never get to know any men if he doesn't.
Are you OK with that?
- No... But if I do it anyway and he finds out, I'm sure
[cdb]it would be, as I've said, utterly disastrous.
- Offer to help her.
- Dissuade her.
- Well then, I'll just have to help you sneak out,
[cdb]won't I?
- Oh my, would you really do that? I should've known
[cdb]you would be so bold!
- Well, there's nothing I can do about that. You'll just
[cdb]have to play it safe.
- If you insist. And in that case, you will simply have
[cdb]to join me for all my outings!
