Ashe, Marianne enter the scene

Oh, Marianne. Are you confessing again today?
link
Marianne
volume_up

No, I was waiting for you.
link
Ashe
volume_up

For me?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Um, I wanted to apologize. You kept trying to encourage me, but I just avoided you in return...
link
Ashe
volume_up

No, I'm the one who should be sorry.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I only wanted to give you some advice, but I ended up running you off.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Can I tell you something, Ashe?
link
Ashe
volume_up

Of course!
link
Marianne
volume_up

You said that my Crest is an extraordinary gift, but I don't agree with that at all.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Don't people have more important qualities?
link
Ashe
volume_up

What do you mean?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Like, um, how much we help those around us.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Or whether or not we can make other people smile?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Sylvain says that a person's value is in their smile.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Sylvain, huh? He really can turn anything into a line.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I'm trying to be less negative. I've also realized that I should have a dream to pursue, like you do.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I think people who have something to work toward are more fulfilled.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Yet here I am, living an empty life without a dream...
link
Ashe
volume_up

That still sounds kind of negative to me.
link
Ashe
volume_up

What does being fulfilled even mean here, anyway?
link
Ashe
volume_up

Are you saying that people without dreams live empty lives? I don't agree with that.
link
Ashe
volume_up

When I was a kid, I was too busy worrying about my next meal to have a dream. Was my life empty then?
link
Marianne
volume_up

That's not what I mean at all! I just don't know...
link
Marianne
volume_up

I don't know how to find my dream...
link
Ashe
volume_up

Hey, chin up! Maybe I can help.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I'm sure we can come up with something for you in no time if we put our heads together.
link
Marianne
volume_up

You'll help me?
link
Ashe
volume_up

Absolutely! Unless, uh, you don't want me to, of course.
link
Marianne
volume_up

No, I would appreciate that. I want to find something worth working toward...
link
Marianne
volume_up

Together. With you. And with my head held high.
