What a wonderful meal.

Hey, you've still got some food left. You don't want it? That Oghma wolverine meat's super hard to come by, you know.
link Marianne volume_up
Oh, I don't really eat meat. You can have it.
link Shez volume_up
Don't mind if I do, then. Y'know, I always feel strangely energized after eating this stuff.
link Marianne volume_up
Hehe! You look so pleased to be eating it.
link Shez volume_up
It's not every day I get to hear you laugh. Did I look funny or something?
link Marianne volume_up
No, it's just that the look on your face made me feel happy.
link Shez volume_up
Instead of just watching other people stuff their faces, maybe you'd enjoy trying some yourself?
link Marianne volume_up
I am perfectly content just watching.
link Shez volume_up
Huh... Well, anyway, it seems like you've gotten more comfortable eating with me, Marianne.
link Marianne volume_up
I have. When you told me not to act like someone I'm not, at first I didn't know what to do with myself.
link Marianne volume_up
But I still thought I could learn something from you. And as I talked with you more, I just got used to us eating together.
link Shez volume_up
I see. Then why not branch out and eat with other people too?
link Shez volume_up
Meal times are a great opportunity to make new friends, after all. Making conversation and sitting around the dinner table go hand-in-hand.
link Shez volume_up
That's how we ended up friends, right? It might be a good chance to get to know someone else.

...
link Shez volume_up
What's wrong?
link Marianne volume_up
I'm sorry, it's just... My adoptive father said the same thing to me once.
link Shez volume_up
He did?
link Marianne volume_up
He often criticized me because I avoided other people so much.
link Marianne volume_up
He said that as the heir to House Edmund, I must be at least somewhat sociable.
link Marianne volume_up
But he never bothered to understand how difficult it was for me to do that.
link Shez volume_up
I'm sorry. I was being insensitive, just like your father.
link Marianne volume_up
No, no. You've done nothing wrong.
link Shez volume_up
But you managed to make friends with me. I'm sure if you keep at it, you'll be able to overcome any difficulties.
link Marianne volume_up
Maybe you're right.
link Marianne volume_up
But I don't think it's a good idea for me to get involved with too many people.
link Shez volume_up
Why?
link Marianne volume_up
I only bring misery and misfortune to anyone who gets too close to me.
link Shez volume_up
That's not true at all! Why do you even think that?
link Marianne volume_up
It is true! I know it!
link Shez volume_up
OK, if that's the case, then how's it possible for us to be hanging out right now without any problems?
link Marianne volume_up
You're right. I should've been more vigilant and kept some distance between us.
link Marianne volume_up
But you're so kind and I just like being around you. I'm sorry.
link Marianne volume_up
I'll stay as far away from you as I can from now on. I should go.
link Shez volume_up
Hey, wait, Marianne! What am I gonna do about her?
