0. Oof! Goodness, but that is heavy...
1. Could you grab the feed over there, Mercedes?
2. Yes, of course. Give me one moment please...
3. Please don't push yourself if you're tired. I can do it.
4. Well, we managed to finish. I'm so sorry for leaving [cdb]the bulk of the work to you.
5. Do not worry about it. You're always helping me with [cdb]so many other things.
6. Besides which, I'm used to taking care of horses. It barely even feels like work anymore.
7. I suppose House Galatea is famous for its [cdb]pegasus knights.
8. Yes, though they are costly to care for, so we don't [cdb]keep many.
9. When I was a child, I often helped my older brothers [cdb]tend to both our pegasi and our horses.
10. I forgot that you have brothers.
11. Yes, my eldest brother acts as our father's advisor, [cdb]while the other serves a different family as a knight.
12. You must have been very close. It's wonderful.
13. I suppose, though we hardly ever played together. The age gap was just too great.
14. My eldest brother in particular was incredibly strict [cdb]with me. Whenever I would try to go horseback [cdb]riding through the hills, he would say...
15. "How dare you do something so dangerous! What if something happened to you?!"
16. What's worse, my father agreed with him. It kept me [cdb]from getting out on too many adventures as a child.
17. Thinking back on it, I understand their concern. I was the only one in the family to bear a Crest, [cdb]after all.
18. I'm not so certain your Crest was the reason for [cdb]their concern.
19. I think they were worried simply because they [cdb]love you.
20. You're the youngest, yes? It's only natural for them to [cdb]want to keep you safe.
21. Well, it is true we had a mostly good relationship, [cdb]but I don't know if I'd go that far.
22. I'm not so sure. They would have treasured you all [cdb]the same even if you didn't bear a Crest.
23. Even now, I can't help but want to fuss over my [cdb]little brother, so I know what it means to be an [cdb]older sibling.
24. I used to fuss over my younger brother all the time [cdb]when we were little, so I understand what it's like to [cdb]be an older sibling.
25. I hear you, but I still don't see the need to be quite [cdb]so overprotective.
26. You protest, but I can tell you enjoyed their show [cdb]of affection. In fact...
27. Um, Mercedes? What are you doing?
28. I'm ruffling your hair since your brothers aren't [cdb]around to do it!
29. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! Come, we should get back to work.
30. Hehe! Whatever you say.
