You must rest, Your Majesty. These late hours will only undermine your health.
linkDimitrivolume_up
I appreciate your concern, but I fear sleep eludes me after our last battle.
linkDimitrivolume_up
No need to wait for me, Dedue—or to worry. I'll rest when I find a suitable stopping point.
linkDeduevolume_up
You said the same the other day, then worked until the break of dawn.
linkDimitrivolume_up
I should know better than to argue when you get like this.
linkDimitrivolume_up
Very well. I'll rest once I know these documents contain no errors. And if you assist me, it will go all the faster.
linkDeduevolume_up
This is written in the language of Duscur. Is it a letter to the leadership?
linkDimitrivolume_up
Yes. I'd asked their cooperation in investigating a number of matters pertaining to the Tragedy of Duscur.
linkDimitrivolume_up
Some interim reports arrived the other day, so I'm thanking them for those and requesting a further investigation into another matter.
linkDeduevolume_up
Such important tasks warrant daylight. Can this not wait until morning?
linkDimitrivolume_up
And what if I fall in battle tomorrow and the work remains forever unfinished?
linkDimitrivolume_up
I must do all that I can while I still draw breath.
linkDimitrivolume_up
I will uncover the truth of that day and exact revenge for the dead. I swear it.
linkDimitrivolume_up
There's no time to waste. After all, it doesn't appear resolving this issue will be as simple as just setting all the perpetrators to meet their end.
linkDeduevolume_up
All the more reason to rest and preserve your health.
linkDimitrivolume_up
My rest and health can wait. At least until I've looked through these inquiries into the western front.
linkDimitrivolume_up
Ah, and I should put in some training before I sleep, to make up for all this desk work...
linkDeduevolume_up
Do you still have nightmares of that day?
linkDimitrivolume_up
You remember, then. I'm surprised. I've not mentioned them in years.
linkDimitrivolume_up
I used to summon you to my room under the pretense of keeping you safe from the others in the castle.
linkDimitrivolume_up
Then I'd have you listen to me babble until sleep finally claimed me.
linkDeduevolume_up
I've always been grateful for the consideration you showed.
linkDimitrivolume_up
It was my own selfishness. Nothing praiseworthy.
linkDeduevolume_up
Well, if sleep still evades you, I would be happy to lend an ear.
linkDimitrivolume_up
That would only succeed in exhausting us both. We have an early start tomorrow, so please get some rest.
linkDimitrivolume_up
I know you will once again implore me not to overextend myself, but I assure you that I know my own limits better than anyone.
linkDeduevolume_up
At least let me bring tea before I depart.
linkDimitrivolume_up
That would be wonderful, Dedue. And...apologies for always putting you through so much trouble.
