Um...

Hmm...

Marianne

Um, Claude?

Claude

Hm? Oh, Marianne! Have the gods taken pity on my lost soul and revealed a sign to me?

Claude
volume_up

I've been researching the 10 Elites of Fódlan, but I can't tell fact from fiction...
link
Claude
volume_up

Anyhow, what can I help you with?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Well, um... I found this pendant, and I think it's yours.
link
Claude
volume_up

Ah, right you are. Honestly, I'd resigned myself to never seeing it again.
link
Claude
volume_up

It's a keepsake from my uncle, who's passed on. If I'd truly lost it, my grandfather would have had my head.

Claude
volume_up

Thanks for returning it to me, Marianne. You saved my tail.

Marianne
volume_up

Please, it was nothing. I should be—

Claude
volume_up

No, I think that's enough researching for today. Why don't you join me for a nice chat?

Marianne

I just came to deliver the pendant.

Sounds awfully lonely to only talk to those whom you have business with. Do you really dislike talking to people that much?

Marianne
volume_up

It's just...I never know what to say. I'm sorry.
link
Claude
volume_up

No need to apologize. We'll figure it out as we go. Tell me, are you like this with your father too?
link
Claude
volume_up

Within the Alliance, Margrave Edmund is prone to debate. With a father like that, I would have thought...

Marianne
volume_up

Margrave Edmund is my adoptive father.
link
Claude
volume_up

Oh, is he? I didn't know. Where were you born?
link
Marianne
volume_up

That is none of your concern.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I, um, I really must be going.

Marianne leaves the scene
link
Claude
volume_up

She's hiding something, that much is clear.

Claude

But that just makes me all the more desperate to know her secrets!
