Ferdinand & Dorothea B

Ferdinand
volume_up

Ah, you have arrived at just the right time. Care for one of these handmade treats?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

My goodness, Ferdie. When did you become such a talented confectioner?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Oh, Dorothea! I am hardly an expert.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Nevertheless, you have managed to make some tasty-looking treats.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Well, it is the first time I have tried my hand at it. Honestly, there were several unsuccessful attempts preceding this batch.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

I made these pastries to solve that riddle you gave me. The reason you despise me.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Oh?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

You said I was like a bee. The bee is a dutiful worker, just as I am.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

But the bee inherits a capacious home, with a wealth of honey. Similarly, I inherited my fortune. I did not receive it as a reward for my labor.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

I surmised that perhaps you'd feel differently about me if I earned something all on my own.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

That was my plan. To emulate your transformation from desperate pauper to successful songstress.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

All on your own? Did you renounce your nobility? Give away your riches?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

No. I made these!
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

I obtained all the ingredients on my own, without anyone's help.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

You mean...you got the sugar and the flour.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Yes. To earn the flour, I worked in the fields. To earn the sugar, I carried a merchant's wares.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Who did the cooking? You?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Naturally! I took on some extra chores in exchange for use of the kitchen at night.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

I have to admit, that's impressive. Hey... It looks like you had a bit of an accident. Is your hand OK?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

I burned myself a little while I was baking. Nothing to worry about.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Nonsense. That burn will scar, you know. Come on, let's get you to the infirmary.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Wait! Dorothea! You have yet to try my treats...
link
Ferdinand, Dorothea enter the scene
link
Dorothea
volume_up

You should be fine now, Ferdie. Big-shot nobles have to treat their bodies with care just like the rest of us.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

There you go again. Noble this, noble that. Though you did say it with less disdain than usual.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Nothing gets past you. As it were, I may have reconsidered you a little.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

You have reconsidered me? Finally! Just as I had hoped, we are becoming friends. Now then, I propose that we—
link
Dorothea
volume_up

I only said I reconsidered a little. And you still haven't figured out why I said you're like a bee.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Which is funny, because you look like a bee right now. Bye!
link
Dorothea leaves the scene
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

So, I am still a bee. A completely mystified bee...
