Mercedes

Dear Goddess. Please protect us...

Dedue

Mercedes.

Mercedes

Oh, Dedue. Was there something you needed?

Dedue

His Highness sent me to collect you.

Mercedes

I see. I'll be with you in just a moment. I'm almost finished here.

Dedue

You were praying.

Mercedes

I was. Praying for everyone's safety.

Part I
Part II

Mercedes

And praying for good desserts tonight. And that my next exam goes well.

Mercedes

And praying for good desserts tonight, and that the greenhouse flowers will bloom.

Dedue

The Fódlan goddess will accept prayers of any sort.

Mercedes

It's true. I've thought the same thing myself.

Mercedes

That reminds me, Dedue. Weren't you born in Duscur?

Dedue

Yes.

Mercedes

Do the people of Duscur pray to the goddess too?

Dedue

Duscur had a very different view of religion.

Mercedes

Oh?

Dedue

In Duscur there were many gods. The sky had a god. The earth had a god.

Dedue

We made offerings to the war god for victory in battle. Held feasts for the sea god to calm the waves.

Mercedes

So your people prayed to different gods depending on what they needed?

Dedue

Correct.

Mercedes

Your beliefs sound so different from ours! Tell me more.

Dedue

Why? Duscur is a ruin.

Mercedes

Duscur may be gone, but you're still here.

Mercedes

Would you tell me more about it the next time we meet?

Dedue

If you insist.

Mercedes

Really? That would be great!

Mercedes

I'm looking forward to hearing more soon.
