Byleth & Catherine A

Catherine
Hiiiiyah!

Catherine
I will not yield! Yah!

Catherine
It's been a while since I had such a close call. If not for you, Professor, I wouldn't have made it.

Catherine
I didn't expect to be ambushed on a simple scouting mission...

Catherine
I have to ask, Professor... What brought you here?

Catherine
Hm. So you came to protect me. I'm beginning to understand why your allies love you.

Catherine
These are selfish times. One doesn't expect to encounter selflessness.

Catherine
You're kind. In that respect, I'd say you're much like Lady Rhea.

Catherine
Of course. It's thanks to her kindness that I'm here today.

Catherine
I was an outlaw in Faerghus. She took me in and let me live here.

Catherine
Didn't I tell you? I was born into House Charon, in Faerghus.

Catherine
They used to call me Thunderstrike Cassandra.

Catherine
I was implicated in a plot to kill the king. It was a totally false accusation, of course.

Catherine
I had to flee the Kingdom, and the archbishop took me in.

Catherine
I used to be a student at the academy, so I knew I'd be safe here.

Catherine
Lady Rhea saved me once when I was a student, you know.

Catherine
Lady Rhea took care of me.

Catherine
She didn't mind getting dirty. She took my muddied, bloodied body into her arms...

Catherine
Since then, Lady Rhea has been my inspiration.

Catherine
I will always serve her, protect her... Love her.

Catherine
For some reason, when I think about Lady Rhea, your face comes to mind.

Catherine
You've become an important presence in my life.

Catherine
I wasn't expecting you to have a positive response. I'm not thrilled about it, personally...

Catherine
I am still going to keep my eye on you. Not so I can report to Lady Rhea though.

Catherine
Just because I want to.
