- Me, me! Teach me how to cook next!
- All right. I will teach you a special recipe that is
[cdb]certain to delight everyone back at the church.
- His Majesty is looking for you, Mercedes.
- Ah!
- Goodness! Whatever was that about?
- My apologies. I have a tendency to frighten animals
[cdb]and children.
- Perhaps it's my imposing stature. Or perhaps it's
[cdb]because I'm from Duscur.
- I doubt animals know anything about the
Tragedy of Duscur, Dedue.
- Still, I think I may know how to solve this little
[cdb]problem of yours.
- Oh?
- You see, many of the children here have lost homes
[cdb]and families. They tend to be a fearful bunch.
- And as a large man who is also unnaturally quiet,
[cdb]you cut a doubly scary figure.
- So all we have to do is show them how not-scary
[cdb]you are.
- And how do we do that?
- Come back tomorrow. I'll have it all worked out
[cdb]by then.
- Hm. Very well.
- Done. Here's your flower crown.
- Wow, mister! You're just as amazing as Miss
Mercedes!
- Yeah, this is prettiest flower crown I've ever seen!
- It's like an actual royal crown. Make one for me!
Please, please, pleeeeease!
- I could, though it would be better to learn how to
[cdb]make your own.
- Aw, but my crowns always look all...blech.
- Anyone can do it with enough practice.
- Well, perhaps not anyone. But if you find it difficult,
[cdb]you can always ask a friend for help.
- Fine, I'll try. Um...so how do I start?
- Twist the stem there and wrap it once—but gently.
- Well? How did it go? They certainly looked at ease
[cdb]around you.
- They were indeed, and I owe it all to you.
- All I did was brag to them about the magnificent
[cdb]flower crown you made for me.
- How very clever.
- Oh, please! I barely did a thing. It was your kindness
[cdb]that won them over.
- You are the kind one, Mercedes. Thank you.
- Miss Mercedes! Mister Dedue! Look how far I am!
- Oh, that's wonderful! Might you teach me how to
[cdb]make one as well, Mister Dedue?
- It would be my pleasure, Miss Mercedes.
