1. As I told you before, I do not have a Crest.
  2. Why do you insist on hiding it? It can only mean [cdb]your Crest is somehow—
  3. Please, stop!
  4. What's going on here?
  5. Lysithea!
  6. What were you saying about Crests? Go on.
  7. I study them every day without fail, so this is [cdb]extremely relevant to my interests.
  8. I do hope you have proof of your theory, though. Spewing out unfounded platitudes will just lead to [cdb]consequences you definitely don't want.
  9. I might not look it, but I'm a general in this army.
  10. Ah, well. We were just finishing our conversation. Now, if you'll excuse me.
  11. Um, thank you, Lysithea.
  12. Think nothing of it. I stepped in of my own accord.
  13. ...
  14. You appear to hold a secret or two regarding Crests.
  15. Um, well...
  16. No need to answer. We all have things we prefer to [cdb]keep hidden.
  17. ...
  18. Still, your situation hits rather close to home for me. Perhaps too close.
  19. What?
  20. So if you ever need assistance, don't hesitate to ask. We secret keepers need to hold strong with each [cdb]other, after all.
  21. ...
  22. Oh, and I'm not saying this because I pity you.
  23. But you clearly find your secret painful.
  24. In light of this, maybe I've been...a bit too [cdb]harsh on you in the past.
  25. Oh, no. You haven't been harsh at all.
  26. I'm merely envious of how strong and level-headed [cdb]you always appear to be.
  27. I never would have guessed you hold a closely- [cdb]guarded secret just as I do.
  28. I'm not gonna tell you, if that's what you're after.
  29. Yes, I suspected as much. Still, perhaps you would be [cdb]willing to hear mine one day?
  30. I feel like being around you gives me the courage to [cdb]finally set it free.
  31. I would be happy to hear you out—and also to help [cdb]rectify the situation, if possible.
  32. I know quite a bit about Crest scholarship. That fool [cdb]talking to you earlier couldn't hold a candle to me!
  33. Thank you, Lysithea. I already feel a little bit braver.
  34. I'm offering you the full might of my assistance. I hope you can do better than "a little."
  35. Um, I mean a lot! I know I'm going to feel [cdb]a lot braver!
