Claude & Petra B

Petra
Claude? What are you doing?

Claude
The training equipment needed maintenance, so I thought I'd give it a good cleaning and some oil.

Petra
Why is that for you to do?

Claude
If you intend to use something a lot, it's on you to take good care of it.

Petra
You are a noble who does not have fear of working with hardness or becoming dirty.

Petra
And you can climb trees. I am...impressed.

Claude
Thanks, but to be honest, I don't think being a noble really has anything to do with anything.

Claude
Nobles and commoners are all equal here. We're all buddies. Even you do chores, don't you?

Claude
Social rank doesn't matter when you put your life in each other's hands. I like that about this place.

Petra
I have your same opinion. Status is something chosen by chance, not by a person.

Petra
Everything became different when I came from Brigid to the Empire. Nobility does not stop life from surprising you.

Claude
I know just what you mean.

Claude
It's not like the ancestors of the nobility or royalty were selected by the goddess herself, after all.

Claude
What does origin or status matter? In the grand scheme of things, we're all just insignificant mortals.

Claude
Nobility isn't a matter of birthright alone. At least, not in my eyes.

Petra
Claude, you are...very much strange for a noble.

Claude
Thanks, and same to you. You're a princess of Brigid, right? If I'm a strange noble, you are too!

Petra
I am normal in Brigid. In Fódlan, you are an...abnormality.

Claude
Ha! An abnormality, am I? Gentleman that I am, I'll go ahead and take that as a compliment.

Petra
I think also that your heart is kind.

Petra
I am thinking you will be a good king.

Claude
I'll remember that. But for now, this equipment isn't going to clean itself.

Petra
I will be helping you. We will join together our efforts.

Claude
You're an abnormality, Princess. A wonderful abnormality.
