You there, youngster. Won't you listen to this old man's troubles?

Monk

I was born and raised right here in this town. I spent my whole life here.

Monk

My daughter lives in the Empire, and she sent me a letter to ask if I was keeping up with my daily worship.

Well, hello there, Professor. Is this a friend of yours?
link
I don't know him.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Is that so? I was sure you two knew each other.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Is there something we can do for you, good sir?

Monk
volume_up

Oh, what a lovely young lady! I was just telling this kind soul a story.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Really? What's troubling you?
link
Monk
volume_up

Well, I was thinking of going to daily prayer, but my leg's been acting up and I can't walk properly.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

How terrible! That's no good at all. May I be of assistance?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I'd be happy to lend a shoulder and escort you to the chapel.
link
Monk
volume_up

Would you? Oh, I'd be most grateful to you. Thank the goddess for sending this young lady to me today!

Mercedes
volume_up

We'll need your help too, Professor. Here, sir, take my arm.

Splendid work, Professor. He really seemed to appreciate our assistance.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I don't think I did anything particularly deserving of praise. I'm just happy that I could help.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

You did a great job cheering him up on your own!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Putting a smile on someone's face always seems to brighten up the day.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Is something wrong? You're giving me a strange look.
link
How did you know something was bothering him?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Oh. Hmm... How should I put this...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I suppose it's just second nature to me.
link
What do you mean?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

It's difficult to describe, but I can usually tell when someone is worried about something.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Back there, I could tell that both you and the old man were in distress.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I spent a good amount of my life living in the church. Maybe that's why I'm so good at identifying these things?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Did I not mention that before?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I spent nearly 10 years of my life in the church of Faerghus.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Many came to us with their troubles.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

In my own time of need, I once ran to the church myself, and they helped me.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

May I share something with you, Professor? It's about a dream of mine.
link
What is your dream?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I'd like to work in the church one day. I want to be like the priest who helped me.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Never mind. It's not a very realistic dream. Please, forget I said anything.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

If I were someone else, perhaps a commoner without a Crest or stature, maybe things would be different.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

It's a bit sad, but...this is the way things have to be.
link
Mercedes

After all, only the goddess can decide our fates.
