Byleth, Linhardt enter the scene

Professor, I've been waiting for you.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

How much time do you suppose we have spent together?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Enough that I believe I can predict how you'll feel about something.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Oh, is it noticeable?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I imagine we've spent so much time together that you understand everything about me by now.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

The truth is...I want to ask you a once-in-a- lifetime question.
link
Once-in-a-lifetime?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Um... Yes.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I know that the end of the war hasn't granted you limitless free time...
link
Linhardt
volume_up

But you must have more time on your hands than you did during the war, yes?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Would you spend that time with me?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I want to know more about you. I want to solve the mysteries that surround you.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I don't think I'll ever meet anyone more intoxicating than yourself.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I want you to be mine, and I want to be yours.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Here is proof of my desire. Will you accept it?
link
Of course. I love you, Linhardt.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Oh, thank goodness! I don't know what I would have done with myself had you turned me down.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Though, I feel like I've come to understand rather a lot about you.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

So I didn't honestly think you'd reject me.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Oh, just wait. I will understand you even more.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

You doubt me? But I was proven correct the very moment you took the ring.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

You'll see. I will come to understand you even more.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Our future together has only just begun.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Before I become bored of this business, I wish to learn all there is about your Crest and your strength.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

And perhaps we'll even come up with ways I could help you guide Fódlan.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I as a Crest scholar and you as a leader of Fódlan...
link
Linhardt
volume_up

We will take our first steps together into this new world, the two of us working as one.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Once things settle down, we can retire to the countryside.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

A place where the air is fresh, the lakes are full of fish, the sun is warm, and where we may nap deeply.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Without naps, life is nothing but work!
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I value you too much to let you spend your whole life laboring for others. You're the hero of Fódlan after all.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Besides, naps are the entire point of retirement!
link
Linhardt
volume_up

It may be some time until we can nap beneath a tree, peaceful sunlight filtering through the branches...
link
Linhardt
volume_up

But when that day comes? To have you there lying by my side...
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Paradise. And we will have made it so.
