Edelgard, Petra enter the scene

I have been watching you in secrecy, Edelgard.

Petra

But you and Hubert were noticing me, correct?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Well, if you intend to shadow us like that, you can be sure it won't escape our notice.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Hubert was primed and ready to...remove you. I ordered him to stand down.
link
Petra
volume_up

You have my thanks. I have been making a decision that I am wanting to learn from you.

Petra

I was thinking it was enough to be shooting one bird with one arrow.
link
Petra
volume_up

But after speaking with you, I trained with hardness. Now I can be shooting two birds with one arrow.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Two pheasants? Are you implying that...
link
Petra
volume_up

Yes. A single arrow.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

That's astounding, Petra!
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Hmm, it's perhaps a bit late to explain now, but what I was getting at earlier was actually...
link
Petra
volume_up

I am having a joke.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

You... Come again?
link
Petra
volume_up

I really was shooting these birds with one arrow, but my joke is that I did have understanding about what you told me. I took it to my heart.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Did you now?
link
Petra
volume_up

You are a person with great bluntness. I am admiring of you.
link
Petra
volume_up

As an emperor, a commander, a warrior, and a friend... You are excelling at all that you do.
link
Petra
volume_up

All of the Empire is resting on...on your shoulders. And that is including Brigid too.
link
Petra
volume_up

I will not be falling behind you. I will be carrying Brigid on my shoulders too.
link
Petra
volume_up

And one day, you and I will be facing each other, and we will be shaking hands.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Heh. Yes, that much is certain. I can see that you no longer need me to look out for you.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

You and I are much the same. We dutifully shoulder our burdens and stand tall no matter what. It would be foolish of me to deny it.
link
Petra
volume_up

Your words give me great joy. And it also gave me joy to see you being flustered when I was showing you the birds!
link
Edelgard
volume_up

A cheap trick, to be sure. But inarguably funny.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

To think that you went to all the trouble of shooting two pheasants at once for the sake of a joke. Heh... Well played, Petra.
link
Petra

We both are growing every day. I hope we will keep doing so!
