- Dedue? What are you doing here?
- Ah, Annette. I was...training.
- Wow. Do you ever take a break?
- 'Cause you should. It's almost dinnertime.
- I don't plan to stop yet. I'm still not strong enough.
- Not strong? You mean with your axe? C'mon,
[cdb]you're plenty good at swinging that guy around!
- No. I must make up for my inability to wield a
Hero's Relic.
- You, Felix, and the others are all able to make use of
[cdb]their immense power.
- I know I can never rise to that level, but if I could
[cdb]somehow close the gap...
- To be honest, I'm envious... Envious of your ability to
[cdb]wield such a powerful instrument.
- Whoa. I don't think I've ever heard you open up
[cdb]like that before.
- I apologize. Please forget I said anything.
- No! I'm happy you told me! I feel closer to you now.
- Anyway, I think you're really strong already.
I don't know what we'd do without you!
- Truly?
- Yeah! You're invaluable with or without a Relic.
- Crests and Relics are only useful on the
[cdb]battlefield, anyway.
- But you? You can cook and sew and do all kinds of
[cdb]helpful stuff. Meanwhile, I'm pretty much just nine
[cdb]thumbs and a toe.
- Plus, you swing around that heavy axe like it's
[cdb]nothing! So I mean it, Dedue. You're amazing.
- We each have something the other lacks.
- Exactly. Besides, maybe it's a good thing that you
[cdb]can't use a Relic.
- If you could, you'd be too good and the rest of us
[cdb]would just be getting in your way all the time.
- Training is fine and dandy, but don't be so hard on
[cdb]yourself, OK?
- You're strong in your own way, Annette.
- Your optimism is infectious. It aids not only me,
[cdb]but everyone else as well.
- Aw, you're making me blush! Still, I guess being
[cdb]positive sort of is one of my special talents, huh?
- And if it managed to help you even a little,
[cdb]that's enough for me.
- Anyway, I made dinner today, so let's head back
[cdb]and start feasting. It'll be yummy, promise!
- I mean, I did manage to make the bottom of the pot
[cdb]fall out, so things got a little hairy there for a second.
But it smells great!
- The bottom...fell out?
- Yeah, but it turned out amazing, I swear. I can't wait
[cdb]for you to try some.
- How did you manage to... Never mind. Let's eat
[cdb]before it grows cold.
