Picking wildflowers? Seems such a common activity for someone like you.

Lorenz

To me, the most beautiful flower is the one that blossoms by its own strength. Lysithea, please accept this as...

Knock it off!

Lysithea

Uh, sorry... It's just that the thorns are a bit sharp, and I'm not a fan of killing nature.

Lorenz

True sympathy, even for the smallest wildflower. I admire your kindness.
link
Lorenz

When you inherit your house, that kindness will be a balm to your subjects. They, and the neighboring lords, will trust you instinctively.

Politics. Again.

Lorenz

The Alliance has been harmed in the past by lords who thought only of themselves. Who saw others as a means to an end.

Lorenz

But you! You understand others' pain. With you around, I am quite hopeful that the Alliance will flourish again.

Lysithea

That's not something you should get your hopes up about. House Ordelia will end with my father.

Lorenz

I'm...sorry? I understand you have a distaste for politics, but could you really allow a noble house three centuries old to fall to ruin?
link
Lorenz
volume_up

This goes beyond you, and even your house. What would become of Fódlan if all its noble houses withered away in such a manner?
link
Lorenz
volume_up

The people would be in disarray. The balance of power would crumble. Chaos would rule.
link
Lysithea
volume_up

No, it's just... My body, unfortunately, is not built to last... And I have no siblings. When I die, that's the end.

Lorenz

What?
link
Lysithea

Noble birth has been nothing but a source of pain for me. For me, and for my parents.
link
Lysithea

We got sucked into the rebellion in the Empire, and it led to...many responsibilities for us. The things we went through... I can hardly bear to speak of it.

Lysithea

All I want now is to give my mother and father the chance to live out their years in peace.
link
Lysithea

I intend to do whatever I can to ease the hardships of our people, while I still have life left in me...
link
Lysithea
volume_up

Naturally, I worry about what will come to pass after I'm gone.
link
Lysithea
volume_up

But I'm sure things will work out, so long as there are people like you around working so hard for a better future.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

So, you have been thinking of the future. Even despite all of that.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

I-I am so sorry. I had no idea.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Lysithea. I have offended you most persistently. Please find it in your heart to forgive my impudence.
link
Lysithea
volume_up

Don't worry about it. If you're so insistent upon being my friend, I'm sure more tasty snacks and tea will help persuade me.
link
Lysithea
volume_up

But if speaking of the future holds such importance, better to find someone who actually has one.
link
Lorenz

I understand. Yes, let's take tea together again soon.
