Uh, Dedue? Are you OK? You look unwell.

Dedue

Ingrid.

Dedue

Is my face frightening?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Uhh... What? I mean...um, sort of—er, not exactly... I wouldn't use the word frightening. Aggressive, maybe?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

But it's really nothing to worry about. Why—did someone say something cruel?
link
Dedue
volume_up

I made a village child cry.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Oh. I see...
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Let me guess. You feel like you look frightening, so you walked around with a smile glued to your face...
link
Dedue
volume_up

How did you know?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I'm starting to understand how you think.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

The thing is, forced smiles never work well. They usually just end up making a person look creepy and insincere.
link
Dedue
volume_up

I see. Duly noted.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

To be honest, when we first met, I was pretty intimidated by you.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Not because of a smile, but a lack of any emotion whatsoever. And you so rarely spoke. I had no idea what to make of you.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

But that's only because I wasn't making an effort to get to know you.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Because you were from Duscur.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

As I started to get to know you—to understand your personality—I realized what a fool I'd been.
link
Dedue
volume_up

Personality?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

You may come off intimidating, but underneath that cool exterior is a kind, loyal, and noble person— a really wonderful person.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

In a certain regard, you are one of the knightliest people I know.
link
Dedue
volume_up

...
link
Ingrid
volume_up

What is it?
link
Dedue
volume_up

Wonderful person.
link
Dedue
volume_up

This is the first time anyone has ever said a thing like that to me. It is rather...awkward.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

It's only awkward if you make it awkward. Which...it kind of is...now.
link
Dedue
volume_up

Ugh...
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Ugh...
link
Dedue
volume_up

Well...let me know if you need anything.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Yes, of course. Same to you, Dedue.
