Mercedes, Constance enter the scene

Mercedes

I see. The sunlight brings back painful memories in you.

Constance
volume_up

I'm afraid so. Please forgive my behavior from before. I cannot abide these indiscretions of mine.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

That's all right. The way you always work so hard day and night, it's no wonder it's had this effect on you.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

You work harder than anyone I know. I've always been impressed by that, Constance.
link
Constance
volume_up

That means a lot to me.

Mercedes
volume_up

You know, at the school of sorcery there was a professor who specialized in magical cures.

Mercedes
volume_up

Why not write her a letter? Perhaps she can suggest a treatment that might help.
link
Constance
volume_up

I have tried. She could do nothing for me.
link
Constance
volume_up

But I vowed then to the goddess that I would find a way to overcome my trials.
link
Constance
volume_up

I will prove my skills to the goddess and everyone else, bringing me closer to restoring House Nuvelle!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Haha! You're a tough cookie, Constance!
link
Constance
volume_up

Naturally. And with your support, I shall grow ever stronger by the day!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I know you will! You know...during the years of political turmoil, House Martritz was destroyed just as your house was.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

But restoring my father's house has hardly crossed my mind. I guess I'm not as tenacious as you are.
link
Constance
volume_up

You needn't be so hard on yourself, Mercedes. You have had other priorities since then.
link
Constance
volume_up

Oh! I've just had a grand idea!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

What is it?
link
Constance
volume_up

You ought to try to reinstate House Martritz!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Oh dear! I'm not sure that's possible.
link
Constance
volume_up

Nonsense. If I can restore my own house, then you can restore yours.
link
Constance
volume_up

As we work to further our own like goals, we shall learn so much that we can share with one another!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

You make it sound so simple. How would I even go about that?
link
Constance
volume_up

That is simplicity itself! You shall become a prodigy at spellcraft, as I am.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Um, all right.
link
Constance
volume_up

I shall master the black arts, and you shall master the white. The world will know us as sister sages!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I see...
link
Constance
volume_up

Our names shall ring out across Fódlan, earning us the titles we rightly deserve!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I hope you won't mind me saying so, but this plan seems to have gotten a bit far-fetched.
link
Constance
volume_up

Oh, no, not if you join me, Mercedes! Where one may fail, together we are bound to succeed!

Constance leaves the scene

Mercedes
volume_up

She has such big plans...perhaps too big. In that way at least, she's exactly the same as when she was little.
