Oh, Dedue! Are you praying to the goddess of Fódlan? That seems odd.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Won't the Duscur gods be upset if they hear you praying to another land's deity?
link
Dedue
volume_up

The Fódlan goddess was recognized in Duscur too.
link
Dedue
volume_up

The deities of foreigners are seen as the protectors of their respective lands.
link
Dedue
volume_up

It has been said that we would offer our prayers to her in times of war.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Huh. So, the goddess is part of a pantheon... I guess that's one way to interpret it.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Anyway, what are you praying for?
link
Dedue
volume_up

For peace to come even one day sooner.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

That's a lovely prayer. I was just thinking about praying for that myself.
link
Dedue
volume_up

I see.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Hey, Dedue? What are your plans for yourself once this war is finally over?
link
Dedue
volume_up

To serve His Highness for the rest of my days.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I thought you might say that.
link
Dedue
volume_up

And you?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

That's a good question. I was thinking about traveling to Duscur.
link
Dedue
volume_up

To Duscur? There is nothing of interest left there.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Isn't it where you were born?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

And isn't it where your wonderful food and stories come from?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I think those are reason enough to visit at least once!
link
Dedue
volume_up

Mercedes...
link
Dedue
volume_up

If you will allow it, I would like to accompany you. His Highness would surely grant me leave to go.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

You really think so? Then I hope the war ends as soon as possible!
link
Dedue
volume_up

As do I.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

We're going to have to shower the goddess with prayers.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

We'll pray that she watches over and protects us while we work to end this war.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Then, when it's finally finished, we can travel!
link
Dedue
volume_up

That promises to be interesting.
link
Dedue
volume_up

We should pray to the Duscur gods as well.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Yes! That's a brilliant idea!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Which of the Duscur gods should we pray to?
link
Dedue
volume_up

For victory, we pray to the god of war. Or...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Or?
link
Dedue
volume_up

Just the god of war.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Come on! What were you going to say?
link
Dedue
volume_up

Ugh...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Oh! I know! It's the god of travel, right?
link
Dedue
volume_up

Let us leave it at that.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I knew I was right! You taught me so much about your gods!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

So let's pray. For the end of the war and for our safe travels to Duscur.
