- Dorothea! Dorothea!
- Hello, Flayn. What's got you in such a frenzy?
- Is it true that you were a diva in Enbarr?
- And that you were praised as having a mystical voice?
- I hope I'm more than just my voice, but that's all
[cdb]essentially true, yes.
- Then I would beg a boon of you!
- Would you give me a singing lesson?
- Of course. But where is this coming from?
- Well you see, sometimes the soldiers all break out
[cdb]into song.
- And when they do, I always find myself wanting to
[cdb]join in. Their voices hold such grand aplomb!
- But the only songs I know are dreadfully old...
- So I had hoped that you might instruct me as to the
[cdb]popular songs of modern soldiers.
- Is that so? Well, I'd be more than happy to help.
- In recent years, a new musical style has come into
[cdb]fashion—one involving challenging songs with many
[cdb]overlapping parts.
- Why don't we start with a little vocal warm up?
Repeat after me...
- Certainly, Professor Dorothea!
- ♪Do re mi fa sol la ti dooooo!♪
- ♪Do re mi fa sol la ti dooooo!♪
- My! I feel as if I have become quite good at singing!
- The power of song is certainly remarkable. It is as if I
[cdb]have been revitalized from the very core of my being.
- I agree. Songs can be very empowering indeed.
- In fact, I recently heard an old tale about how a
[cdb]song once ended a war.
- Truly? I have never heard this tale!
- Would you mind regaling me with it?
- Sadly, I don't know much more beyond that.
- I'll do some digging, but the person I heard it from
[cdb]wasn't too familiar with the story. Try not to get
[cdb]your hopes up, OK?
- Oh. I see.
- Perhaps my brother might...
- Perhaps...
- Hmm?
- Oh, it is nothing. Since you will be looking into it,
I shall do a bit of digging as well.
- If I learn anything, I will be certain to tell you!
