Ah, even with the fires of war raging all around us, tea never fails to soothe the soul.

Ferdinand

Do you not agree, Bernadetta?
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Um, I hadn't actually thought about it, but...yes!
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Excellent! Oh, that reminds me...
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Hm? What's that?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

A long time ago, my parents were in talks to arrange my marriage with a certain young lady.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

She never set foot outside of her room, and she made little dolls to curse her perceived enemies.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Such were the rumors. Frightened, I dissuaded my parents from going through with their plans.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I can see that. She does sound pretty frightening. I relate to the staying in the room part though...
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

That girl was you, Bernadetta. A daughter of House Varley.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

What?! I don't make dolls to curse people!
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

You are a skilled embroiderer, no? I guess I was wrong. You were not making dolls.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I did make dolls but cute ones! Nice little carnivorous plants and things!
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Ah, hmm... Maybe I should not have brought this up.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Why not?! Carnivorous plants are adorable!
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Aha, yes. Adorable.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Anyway, if I had actually known you, I would have accepted the proposal.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Um... Why? Did you have some scheme in mind?!
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

No. I just mean, now that I have gotten to know you, I would have been happy to...
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

So you're saying you'd...with me?
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Heh heh... It's...getting kind of hot in here, isn't it? Maybe, um... Maybe it's the tea...
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Why are you getting so worked up? That was all a long time ago, now.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Long time ago?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Yes. Now we are soldiers fighting together in the same great conflict, right?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

And my parents are gone, so any agreements they might have cooked up would be completely invalid.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I...guess so...
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Just think. If we had been married, we would not have been able to build such a deep friendship.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

That's true. Yeah, we never would have gotten this close!
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I would've given up on the relationship my parents chose for me and shut myself away even more.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

So, all in all, I am glad I refused to marry that doll-cursing princess.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Hey! I said I never made curse dolls!
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Haha! Sorry, sorry. I am just glad to have met you at the monastery.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

I had better take my leave. We should have tea together again sometime soon!
link
Ferdinand leaves the scene
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Yeah. Um, see you.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I'm...glad we met here too.
