- Hmmm, something fishy's going on. I hope they're
[cdb]not getting into trouble...
- If it isn't little Hilda! Why the long face?
- Ah, Baltie!
- Y'know, if Holst heard you were looking down in
[cdb]the dumps, he'd come flying faster than you can say
"overly attached."
- Of course, I won't be the one to tell him.
- You better not! He's been acting...strange lately.
- I'm actually starting to worry. Do you know what's
[cdb]going on, Baltie?
- Oh, me? Nah. How should I?
- Well, the two of you have been hanging out an awful
[cdb]lot recently.
- Wait! Don't tell me you've been corrupting him with
[cdb]your wicked ways!
- If I find out you're to blame for what's going on with
[cdb]him, so help me Baltie...
- Take it easy, will ya? You've got the wrong guy.
- Besides, even if I was trying to use my "wicked ways"
[cdb]on him—which I'm not—what of it?
- You don't really think your brother would be swayed
[cdb]that easily, do you?
- Fair point. My brother can't stand anything that isn't
[cdb]honorable and just.
- That's the truth. There's not a soul better at keeping
[cdb]people in line.
- Yeah, and if someone did try to corrupt him, he'd just
[cdb]beat them senseless. Then lecture them for hours on
[cdb]end.
- And if by some chance he did give in, would you
[cdb]hate him?
- Of course not. He's my brother and I'll always love
[cdb]him no matter what. Not that I have to worry,
[cdb]since he's basically incorruptible.
- Oh my dear, precious sister! Is that what you truly
[cdb]think of me?
- Ah! Holst?! When did you get here?
- I love you too, Hilda. Now come on and give your
[cdb]brother a big hug.
- Baltie! How could you do this to me?
- Wait, Hilda, I can explain. There's a really good
[cdb]reason for this. Honestly. Really good.
- You set me up! He heard everything!
- Look, Holst told me he's been really worried about
[cdb]you lately.
- I just wanted the poor guy to hear what you had to
[cdb]say, that's all.
- Now he knows how you feel, so he doesn't have to
[cdb]worry anymore. All's well that ends well, yeah?
- I am forever grateful, my friend! You have shown me
[cdb]the true nature of my darling sister's feelings!
- What are you two so happy about? I've never been
[cdb]more embarrassed in my entire life!
- I'm sorry, Hilda. I was the one who talked Balthus
[cdb]into this.
- Please forgive this poor, misguided buffoon.
Direct all your anger at me—along with your love!
- You really are hopeless, aren't you.
- Nonsense, Hilda. For you... You are my hope.
- Ugh...
- What are you even saying? Ugh! Fine, do whatever
[cdb]you want! Just leave me out of it!
- Never a dull moment with those two.
