Ahaha! Delicious, is it not?

Constance

There is little that can rival the taste of a freshly caught fish grilled to perfection over an open flame.
link
Constance
volume_up

I prefer mine with a pinch of salt.
link
Hapi
volume_up

Heh. Look at you, eating regular food like the rest of us regular folk.

Constance

It's only temporary. A fish from the river is a coin saved at the marketplace. My project will require every bit of gold I can spare.

Hapi

Plus, there's a war going on. We've all got to save money however we can.

Constance, what is that shabby meal you're eating with such lowly company?
link
Woman
volume_up

I suppose, after all that's happened, she's given up on regaining her noble title. Probably for the best.
link
Constance
volume_up

How dare you!
link
Hapi
volume_up

Would you two mind your own business? We're just trying to eat in peace.
link
Woman
volume_up

Did you hear that? It sounds like a stray cat is screeching at us.
link
Woman
volume_up

Oh dear, she's not using any silverware to speak of. She's just eating with her paws.
link
Woman
volume_up

I'd expect that from a commoner, but Constance seems to be doing the same thing. How humiliating.
link
Woman
volume_up

Ohoho! We're so vicious, beating up on poor, pathetic Constance after all of her setbacks.
link
Constance
volume_up

Ahahaha!
link
Woman
volume_up

What are you laughing at?
link
Constance
volume_up

Pardon my outburst, but I couldn't help myself after your ridiculous conversation.
link
Constance
volume_up

How I eat my fish has nothing to do with my status. In fact, I shall vow one thing now.
link
Constance
volume_up

When House Nuvelle is restored, I shall bite into a whole fish thrice weekly!
link
Woman

Pardon?
link
Constance
volume_up

Moreover, Hapi is a dear friend. I won't permit you to call her a "stray cat" or anything so insulting.
link
Constance
volume_up

We shall continue to remain steadfast friends, even after my title is restored!
link
Woman
volume_up

And how soon do you expect that to happen?
link
Woman
volume_up

We both know that if she carries on with such disgraceful behavior, she won't restore her house any time soon.

Woman, Woman leave the scene

Constance
volume_up

Well! For the upper class, those two seemed rather classless.
link
Hapi
volume_up

Um... What just happened?
link
Constance
volume_up

Oh, I knew them of old. They were callow noblewomen from the school of sorcery.
link
Hapi
volume_up

No, I mean...you said that I'm a dear friend. Did you really mean that?
link
Constance
volume_up

Hm? Oh, one says all sorts of things when one feels like being cruel. But, yes, I really meant that.
link
Constance
volume_up

Even when I am a noble once more, I expect you to keep me company well into my dotage.
link
Hapi
volume_up

Of course, Coco. Won't be easy getting rid of me.
