Linhardt, Annette enter the scene

Ahh, there's nothing like a morning stroll to take in the fresh air!
link
Annette
volume_up

Hm? In the thicket there. Is that...a human foot?
link
Annette
volume_up

Eeek! It moved! Someone, help!
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Sorry, Annette...I was really out.
link
Annette
volume_up

Hey! You shouldn't surprise people like that! I thought you were an undead corpse...
link
Annette
volume_up

Why are you sleeping out here anyway? We're in the middle of a war! Doesn't that seem dangerous?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Middle of a war or no, you'll not defeat the master of dreams. He's a fiercely strong enemy.
link
Annette
volume_up

Stop joking around! What are you even talking about?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

No joking, I assure you. He is quite unstoppable. Or perhaps you know his weakness?
link
Annette
volume_up

You really never change, do you?
link
Annette
volume_up

You sleep just as much as ever... Do you even remember what I told you?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

You told me something? When?
link
Annette
volume_up

Of course you don't. I told you that putting in effort...
link
Linhardt
volume_up

"...is how you grow." Is that the one?
link
Annette
volume_up

So...you do remember?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Should I not have remembered?
link
Annette
volume_up

No! Ugh. It's just...you should put your talents to use elsewhere, that's all.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Hmm... Have you been speaking to Hubert?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

The truth is I place effort in what brings me joy. I'm happiest that way.
link
Annette
volume_up

No, that's not... OK, let me put it this way instead.
link
Annette
volume_up

Working hard for other people helps you grow as a person.
link
Annette
volume_up

Do you not get the urge to work hard for other people, like when you helped me before?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Not as such. Why would I go through that effort? For what gain?
link
Annette
volume_up

Um, for the gain I mentioned...that it helps you grow as a person.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Oh, I see. Well then, continue working hard for my sake. For example, waking me up today.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

And I suppose I will try to do a little bit more for you too.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I find working for others to be annoying, yet I wish to make an exception for you. I hope that's all right...
link
Annette
volume_up

Just for me?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Indeed. You're the only person I'd bother helping. I could wear myself out helping you. Forever, maybe.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

What about it? I'll be there for you, and you can be there for me.
link
Annette
volume_up

Oh! What do you mean by that?!
link
Linhardt
volume_up

What?
link
Annette
volume_up

If we're doing our best for each other and all, then that's a bit like...just kind of like...like a marriage!
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Huh. You know, I feel as if you might be able to wake me up every morning. No small feat, that.
link
Annette
volume_up

Hmph! As though I would marry a man who can't even get up in the morning!
