Claude, Ingrid enter the scene

Ingrid! Hello...

Ingrid
volume_up

Yes, Claude?

Claude
volume_up

Listen... I know you and I don't always get along.
link
Claude
volume_up

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry if my way of being is upsetting to you.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

If anyone should be making apologies, it's probably me. I've been overly harsh toward you on more than one occasion.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

As you might have noticed, I'm close friends with a certain someone who has caused me no end of trouble since we were very young.

I am close friends with someone who has caused me no end of trouble since we were very young.

Ingrid
volume_up

You remind me a bit of him, and I think I've projected my annoyances at him on to you, at times.

Claude
volume_up

You're talking about Sylvain, right? Huh. Are he and I really that similar?
link
Claude
volume_up

Huh. Am I really that similar to this friend of yours?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Not in every regard, no. You certainly seem to treat those of the opposite gender with quite a bit more respect, for one thing.
link
Claude
volume_up

Well now! I'll take that as a compliment.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

You also speak to me in a much more amicable manner than my dear friend ever does.
link
Claude
volume_up

Hmm. OK, I have to ask you something. But only if you promise not to show me your angry lines again.
link
Claude
volume_up

Doesn't that straitlaced personality of yours make life harder than it needs to be?
link
Claude
volume_up

I feel like there are plenty of people who'd like to get to know you better, but who are scared off by your... well, intense attitude.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Oh? Really?
link
Claude
volume_up

Really. I'd say that especially applies to most of the folks you go around giving lectures to.
link
Claude
volume_up

We're all friends here, Ingrid. We all trust each other with our very lives on the battlefield. Shouldn't we try to accept each other?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

You have a point.
link
Claude
volume_up

I sure do. Besides, with a cute face like yours, I bet you could win anyone over if you just threw out a smile now and then.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I've got better things to concern myself with.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

In any case, you speak as though you know so much about wooing the masses.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

But I would wager that many of our classmates find it difficult to trust one as slovenly as yourself.
link
Claude
volume_up

Oh, another lecture. I see you took my words to heart. Look, let's just call a truce, shall we?
link
Claude
volume_up

How about we agree that we could both learn something from our chat today?
link
Claude
volume_up

If you'll make an effort to smile more, I'll try my best to set a better example for everyone.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

That seems like an unreasonable thing to ask of you. I wonder if you're capable of such a thing...
link
Claude
volume_up

And it's perhaps equally wild to ask an ice block like you to melt. But let's give it a try. What do you say?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I suppose it's only virtuous to ask as much of myself as I'm asking of you. Very well. I accept your challenge!
