Oh yes, this is definitely one of the foods I love.
It's nice to share a meal with someone who doesn't
[cdb]have an ulterior motive.
I don't think this agreed with me the last time I tried
[cdb]it, but I still appreciate the thought. Thanks!
Well, all right—but only because I trust you.
You should invite me out like this more often.
So, where are we headed?
I should have worn something a little more casual
[cdb]so I could roll in the grass.
Be careful around the branches—the woods will put
[cdb]holes in your clothing before you know it.
Oh wow, you can see everything from up here...
Anything in particular catching your eye?
This is the perfect locale for a romantic rendezvous
[cdb]with your special someone...
You have a nice, earthy voice. Mind if I join you?
Tell me about it! All of that riding really works up
[cdb]your appetite.
What are you talking about? There are people
[cdb]foraging right over there.
Please tell me you're joking.
Well, isn't someone smooth! Thank you, though.
I appreciate it.
No, I think the worst of it will hold off. Besides, we've
[cdb]come all this way, so let's enjoy ourselves a bit longer.
Well, that makes two of us, so I hope you like drifting
[cdb]with the current.
I know exactly what that's like—sometimes I get
[cdb]incredibly queasy riding in a wagon. Strange, right?
They can't possibly get mad at us for taking a little
[cdb]break every now and again.
I hear the opera company is doing what they can to
[cdb]lift people's spirits in these dark times.
Would you cry if something happened to me? I mean,
[cdb]not that anything will, but...I'm curious.
I sometimes wonder if orphans like me would be better
[cdb]off if the Southern Church had been restored sooner.
You don't seem very concerned with pride. Are all
[cdb]mercenaries like that?
You are a completely different creature from me,
[cdb]and I never tire of observing you.
Do you have a dream besides continuing on as a
[cdb]mercenary? I mean, how do you imagine your
[cdb]life after the war?
I was fortunate to be invited into the opera company,
[cdb]where I got to sing, dance, and wear the latest finery.
I've never been able to truly love myself... Ahaha!
Sorry, I couldn't hold a straight face. I actually can't
[cdb]stand nobles who are infatuated with themselves.
Well, I'd love a steady income, a roguishly handsome
[cdb]husband—or a beautiful wife—a warm household...
Hey, are you listening?
I have a great number of troubles, sadly. For example,
[cdb]fighting on the front lines means I can only pack so
[cdb]many outfits.
My mother died when I was little. But now I have the
[cdb]opera company, and they've become my family.
Please don't make me think about the past. It wasn't
[cdb]a pleasant time for me.
Well, they're all of impressive enough lineage, but...
Oh, sorry, we're talking about marriage prospects,
[cdb]right?
It's gruesome to say, but I prefer magic because it
[cdb]feels the least like I'm taking a life.
Why, are you fishing for compliments? Well then,
I think you're someone I can rely on.
Wouldn't you like to know. Sorry, not telling!
Not great. Life has been one battle after another,
[cdb]and it's all rather depressing to think about.
I'm actually having a wonderful day. Something nice
[cdb]happened to me earlier, you see.
I always wanted long, flowing hair like this.
The hair clasp is a hand-me-down from an amazing
[cdb]person I looked up to in the opera company.
Enjoying the view? I sure am.
If you keep staring, I may start to think you have a
[cdb]thing for me.
You like my outfit? It's based on what I wore at the
[cdb]opera company.
It's nice knowing I can trust you to behave. You get to
[cdb]keep your teeth that way, too!
Today was even more exciting than I expected!
Thank you for that wonderful distraction. Oh, and
[cdb]you'd better ask me out again soon.
