Hey there, Your Majesty! Fresh off some new official business, eh? Don't you ever get a rest?
link Edelgard volume_up
Yes, thank you for your concern...
link Balthus volume_up
Huh? Why are you staring at— Hey, all right!
link Edelgard volume_up
No, it isn't that. It most certainly is not that.
link Edelgard volume_up
I was just revising my opinion of you.
link Edelgard volume_up
Hubert made you out to be the greatest womanizer of our time, but you've been surprisingly well-behaved.
link Balthus volume_up
I said I wouldn't hit on you, didn't I? Also, that could not sound more like Hubert.
link Balthus volume_up
Anyway, you could've just taken my word for it.
link Edelgard volume_up
I apologize for doubting you.
link Edelgard volume_up
Still, just because you haven't attempted to woo me doesn't guarantee you won't do so in the future.
link Balthus volume_up
Sure, but the thing is...you're not really my type.
link Balthus volume_up
You're too smart. And dainty. And way too important.
link Balthus volume_up
Wooing you would be like bringing a baguette to a sword fight. I know when I'm out of my league.
link Edelgard volume_up
I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to take that.
link Balthus volume_up
Look, the only thing I want from you is a job.
link Balthus volume_up
You pay well, and frankly, I could really use an army between me and the folks trying to kill me.
link Edelgard volume_up
We have had to bolster the camp's defenses because of all the trouble you keep attracting. So, yes, thanks for that.
link Balthus volume_up
Hey, if it bothers you, let 'em through.
link Balthus volume_up
I can watch my own back well enough.
link Balthus volume_up
Save the cleverness and compassion for some other lunkhead.
link Edelgard volume_up
I agree, my time could be better spent.
link Edelgard volume_up
Also, I'm not compassionate—merely hopelessly committed to my ideals.
link Balthus volume_up
Oh yeah?
link Edelgard volume_up
I've set out to unite all of Fódlan. I've started a war over it.
link Edelgard volume_up
That means destroying any who oppose me and protecting all who stand with me.
link Edelgard volume_up
If you believe in me and share my ideals, I will never abandon you.
link Edelgard volume_up
Even if you do happen to be a philandering hireling up to his neck in debt.
link Balthus volume_up
That was downright inspiring, right up to the point where you insulted the stuffing outta me.
link Balthus volume_up
But hey, if your thing is looking out for people, I'm happy for to be a spare set of eyes.
link Balthus volume_up
Plus, you're a boss worth swinging these fists for. I could shop around, but I doubt I'd find better.
link Edelgard volume_up
And I will endeavor to keep it that way. But for now, I must be off.
link Edelgard volume_up
Oh, and Balthus? Join us at the next war council.
link Balthus volume_up
Hoo boy, that was close. It's like she was begging for me to make with the flirting!
link Balthus volume_up
And if it wasn't for Hubert, I might even be stupid enough to try...
