Hey, so...
link Marianne volume_up
Um...
link Bernadetta volume_up
Oh, g-go ahead! I didn't actually have anything important to say.
link Marianne volume_up
No, you can go first, Bernadetta.

OK, well, I guess I'll start. I saw a lovely white butterfly in the mess hall this morning.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Oh, but while the wings and body were both white, its eyes were crimson. It was beautiful!
link Marianne volume_up
I saw one just like that at the stables.
link Bernadetta volume_up
You saw one too?
link Marianne volume_up
Yes. Its eyes glittered like tiny jewels. It was wondrous to behold.
link Bernadetta volume_up
I wonder if it was the same butterfly I saw? That would be something, huh?
link Marianne volume_up
Yes, it would be a most lovely coincidence.

Um, well, I guess it's my turn. This morning, I awoke earlier than usual and...
link Marianne volume_up
Well, since I had extra time, I climbed a small hill and looked out over the landscape.
link Bernadetta volume_up
You woke up bright and early, huh? That's great! So how was the scenery?
link Marianne volume_up
Seeing the plains hued red by the sunrise was especially striking.
link Marianne volume_up
It's like I was standing inside a painting, or... I'm sorry. I can't put it into words very well.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Wow, I wish I could've seen it. Maybe I can manage to drag myself out of bed before noon one day...
link Marianne volume_up
Oh dear, listen to me! I'm sorry for going on as long as I did.
link Bernadetta volume_up
No, it's all right! Really! And actually...
link Marianne volume_up
Yes, Bernadetta?
link Bernadetta volume_up
Well, I guess... I mean, it's been a long time since I've been able to talk this much with someone.
link Marianne volume_up
I'm rather awful at speaking to other people myself, so this has been somewhat strange for me as well.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Yeah. So, I was thinking it might be nice if we could chat again sometime. What do you think?
link Marianne volume_up
That would be delightful!
link Bernadetta volume_up
Aw, thanks, Marianne! I gotta think of lots of things to talk about for next time!
link Bernadetta volume_up
OK, so there's carnivorous plants, interesting books, the doll I'm knitting, carnivorous plants...
link Marianne volume_up
Hehe! You talked about those today as well.
link Bernadetta volume_up
Yeah, but...there are lots of different kinds? Anyway, I think this is gonna be great!
