0. Hey there, Your Majesty! Fresh off some new official [cdb]business, eh? Don't you ever get a rest?
1. Yes, thank you for your concern...
2. Huh? Why are you staring at— Hey, all right!
3. No, it isn't that. It most certainly is not that.
4. I was just revising my opinion of you.
5. Hubert made you out to be the greatest womanizer of [cdb]our time, but you've been surprisingly well-behaved.
6. I said I wouldn't hit on you, didn't I? Also, that could [cdb]not sound more like Hubert.
7. Anyway, you could've just taken my word for it.
8. I apologize for doubting you.
9. Still, just because you haven't attempted to woo me [cdb]doesn't guarantee you won't do so in the future.
10. Sure, but the thing is...you're not really my type.
11. You're too smart. And dainty. And way too [cdb]important.
12. Wooing you would be like bringing a baguette to a [cdb]sword fight. I know when I'm out of my league.
13. I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to take that.
14. Look, the only thing I want from you is a job.
15. You pay well, and frankly, I could really use an [cdb]army between me and the folks trying to kill me.
16. We have had to bolster the camp's defenses because [cdb]of all the trouble you keep attracting. So, yes, thanks [cdb]for that.
17. Hey, if it bothers you, let 'em through.
18. I can watch my own back well enough.
19. Save the cleverness and compassion for some [cdb]other lunkhead.
20. I agree, my time could be better spent.
21. Also, I'm not compassionate—merely hopelessly [cdb]committed to my ideals.
22. Oh yeah?
23. I've set out to unite all of Fódlan. I've started a war [cdb]over it.
24. That means destroying any who oppose me and [cdb]protecting all who stand with me.
25. If you believe in me and share my ideals, I will never [cdb]abandon you.
26. Even if you do happen to be a philandering hireling [cdb]up to his neck in debt.
27. That was downright inspiring, right up to the point [cdb]where you insulted the stuffing outta me.
28. But hey, if your thing is looking out for people, I'm happy for to be a spare set of eyes.
29. Plus, you're a boss worth swinging these fists for. I could shop around, but I doubt I'd find better.
30. And I will endeavor to keep it that way. But for now, I must be off.
31. Oh, and Balthus? Join us at the next war council.
32. Hoo boy, that was close. It's like she was begging for [cdb]me to make with the flirting!
33. And if it wasn't for Hubert, I might even be stupid [cdb]enough to try...
