Ingrid. I have brought sustenance.
link Ingrid volume_up
Oh, uh, thank you, Dedue! These look wonderful.
link Ingrid volume_up
Your timing is impeccable. I was just about to wrap this up.
link Dedue volume_up
Writing reports?
link Ingrid volume_up
Yes, I was summing up the results from our most recent battle in the Duscur region.
link Ingrid volume_up
It was...a dreadful fight. It will be quite some time still before the situation in Duscur stabilizes.
link Ingrid volume_up
Obviously I'm glad those involved in the Tragedy were captured in the end, but...
link Dedue volume_up
But like any other region, Duscur is home to all kinds of people. Some good. Some bad.
link Ingrid volume_up
Exactly. The Kingdom is no different!
link Ingrid volume_up
We may have our fair share of villains, but we should not be blaming innocent people for the actions of the bad ones.
link Dedue volume_up
It's human nature to generalize.
link Dedue volume_up
I'd be lying if I claimed to hold no hatred towards Faerghus for the devastation it brought to my home.
link Dedue volume_up
But I've come to meet many kinds of people as I've lived here with His Majesty.
link Ingrid volume_up
...
link Dedue volume_up
Some hurled stones and insults, not only at me, but at His Majesty as well.
link Dedue volume_up
Yet some remained kind to me, despite my heritage.
link Ingrid volume_up
I guess I never really had to think about it like that...
link Ingrid volume_up
Honestly, Dedue? If not for you, I would've gone on stubbornly hating and fearing everyone from Duscur.
link Ingrid volume_up
No matter how much His Majesty insisted on their innocence.
link Dedue volume_up
But you did meet me, and now you have taken the first step toward change.
link Dedue volume_up
It may not be my place, but I find that willingness to change admirable.
link Ingrid volume_up
I am wholly undeserving of such praise. I still have a long way to go.
link Ingrid volume_up
But enough of this. After I am finished here, maybe we could grab a bite together in town?
link Dedue volume_up
Sure.
link Ingrid volume_up
The other day, His Majesty introduced me to an inn that serves the most excellent food.
link Ingrid volume_up
It is actually owned by someone from Duscur! I was amazed how much I enjoyed everything.
link Ingrid volume_up
I would love to take you there.
link Dedue volume_up
Ingrid.
link Ingrid volume_up
Yes? I'm sorry, are you not interested? Or do you have other plans?
link Dedue volume_up
Nothing like that. You said His Majesty brought you there?
link Ingrid volume_up
Well, yes. He seemed quite familiar with the owner.
link Dedue volume_up
Hmm, I see. Call for me when you're ready.
link Dedue volume_up
Right now, I must find His Majesty and remind him not to be so cavalier in his movements, even with you at his side.
link Ingrid volume_up
Oh dear. Perhaps I should not have mentioned that part...
