- Ashe. You've come at the perfect time.
- Why's that? Oh no! Am I interrupting?
- Not at all. In fact, I'd like you to try this tea.
- Uh, sure... Did you create this blend yourself?
- I did. Your talk of medicinal herbs inspired me
[cdb]to study them.
- I created a number of different brews, thinking
I might find one suitable for His Majesty.
- But first, I would like your opinion on the quality.
- Taste testing, is it? I'd be happy to help!
- Oh! This tastes like...
- Yes? How do you find it?
- Dedue, what did you use in this?
- The same flower you gathered before, mixed with
[cdb]some other herbs, then steamed.
- I read that doctors in the capital frequently concoct
[cdb]a similar blend. Does it not suit your tastes?
- No, I love it. It actually reminds me of something...
- Of course! This is what Lonato used to give me when
[cdb]he first took me in.
- Lord Lonato used to brew this tea?
- He sure did. Wow, this really takes me back.
- I wasn't born into a noble family, so when I started
[cdb]living with Lonato, I had no idea how to act.
- I was nervous as anything at first, but I'd always
[cdb]calm right down the moment I drank his tea.
- I did read that this tea is useful for calming nerves.
- Perhaps he was trying to make you feel at home.
- That sounds like him.
- I was pretty young at the time so I never knew what
[cdb]kind of tea it was, but this definitely has the same
[cdb]flavor.
- Strange to think I've been in the capital for two years
[cdb]now and never came upon it again until today.
- I wonder if Lonato ever served this tea to Grand
Duke Rufus.
- He never said?
- No. I guess the two of them had a falling out
[cdb]a long time ago.
- He never really talked about his time in the capital.
- But I think he started studying herbs as a way to help
[cdb]the grand duke.
- Just like you're studying them to aid His Majesty!
- It's possible.
- Anyway, thank you, Dedue! That really hit the spot.
- Hey, would you teach me how to brew it sometime?
I'd love to let everyone else try it.
- Yes. Of course.
