Petra enters the scene

Petra

Ferdinand? Our professor is wanting to see you...

Ferdinand

Hmm.

Petra

He has much concentration right now. I will wait for him to be finished reading.

Ferdinand

Mm hmm...

Petra
...

Ferdinand

Diplomacy has an effect upon weapons development. Yes... That makes sense.

Ferdinand

Oh! Petra! How long have you been there?

Petra

A short time. You were devoting all of your attention to that book.

Ferdinand

Forgive me. I was fully absorbed in my reading.

Ferdinand

I see you have been reading as well. Anything interesting?

Petra

I am studying the history of Fódlan.

Ferdinand

A history book! What a keen student you are. And it's about House Hresvelg. Certainly a stimulating topic.

Petra

I am wishing to learn all about Fódlan. What is the book you are reading?

Ferdinand

Oh, this? This relates to a little hobby of mine—the regional history of weapons development in Fódlan.

Ferdinand

Militaries have to adapt their weapons according to terrain and climate, and they have to keep up with technologies in other regions. It's very interesting.

Petra

Yes, it is interesting. I see why you would be enjoying that kind of reading.

Ferdinand

Oh, does that excite your curiosity too? Perhaps you would care to read more about it, then.

Ferdinand

This is just one of 18 volumes. And our library has the entire collection!

Petra

I give you my gratitude. Research of weapons could be a good reference for me.

Petra

Oh, please take my apologies. I was meaning to tell you that our professor is wanting to see you.

Ferdinand

Oh! It is not like you to forget something. I suppose I ought to be going, then.

Ferdinand leaves the scene

Petra

Yes, it is a rarity that I forget something. But it is not impossible.
