♪Ravishing lady! Princess from a foreign land!
How sharp and true the swords you hold in your
[cdb]hand!♪
♪Wilt thou not spar with me?♪
Ah...huh?
...
How was that? Did I do it correctly? I want to be
[cdb]certain I understood the Brigid way.
The...what?
You see, I was perusing a book on your customs the
[cdb]other day.
It was there that I came across a description of the
[cdb]proper way in which to make a request of members
[cdb]of the Brigid royal family.
Apparently, one is supposed to improvise their need
[cdb]in the form of a song while performing a small jig or
[cdb]rondo. I find it to be a most lovely tradition!
I am not knowing of this...tradition.
You...do not know it? But I am correct that song and
[cdb]dance are very important in your homeland, yes?
Yes, that is a truth. We are often singing and
[cdb]dancing as tribute to the spirits.
Then it has nothing to do with the royal family?
Ah, now I have understanding. Something has gotten
[cdb]lost inside of the translation.
The ruler of Brigid is often asking the spirits for
[cdb]protection. This involves singing and dancing both.
The members of the royal family are not witnessing
[cdb]the performance. They are doing the performance.
Also, it is for special occasions only. No one bursts
[cdb]into a song with suddenness. That is strange.
Yes, I am discovering that for myself...
I was convinced that Brigid must have some manner
[cdb]of odd custom that defies Fódlan convention.
Ferdinand. What land of silliness are you thinking I
[cdb]am from?
What? No, I... This is all going quite horribly.
This is what I deserve for trusting that
[cdb]ridiculous book.
Do not be worrying. Even books of greatness may
[cdb]contain mistakes.
I once was reading that all Fódlan nobles are born in
[cdb]wells! Can you be imagining?
That is a ridiculous notion!
And it was even within the title! "Fódlan's Nobility:
A Day in the Life of the Wellborn."
Petra, "wellborn" is actually a word. It means one
[cdb]who is born into a noble bloodline.
I am knowing that, Ferdinand! I was having a joke.
I am not breaking into songs and dances, but I am
[cdb]breaking out the dictionary when I have the need.
A joke? I must say, this is quite surprising, Petra!
You are unearthing my ignorance in spades today.
This is twice you have made me dine on dirt in a
[cdb]single conversation.
Unearth. Spades. Dirt. Ah, I am understanding!
You are having cleverness.
Well, no, that was merely a coincidence. But...I am
[cdb]glad you enjoyed it.
