Dedue & Annette B

Annette
Hi, Dedue! I wanted to thank you again for helping me out the other day.

Annette
Everything was ready in time for dinner, and we all agreed the food was really tasty!

Dedue
I barely did anything.

Annette
That's silly talk! With just a few ingredients, you made an amazing meal!

Annette
I could never have done it, no way. You deserve all the praise in the world!

Dedue
I still have much to learn.

Dedue
Truly delicious food brings a smile to people's faces.

Dedue
Until I see His Highness smile in that way, I will spare no effort to improve.

Annette
You must be really ambitious if you're not satisfied with that meal.

Annette
I'd love for you to teach me your ways. I want to be a great cook too!

Dedue
Your skills are not the problem. You merely make errors of negligence.

Annette
Well, sure... I know that. But how can I stop making those errors?

Annette
No matter how hard I try, I always seem to mess things up.

Annette
The pan explodes when I cook. I forget my purse when I go shopping. That's just how life is for a scatterbrain like me.

Annette
Just the other day I was nearly laughed off the training ground for wearing mismatched shoes!

Annette
My uncle used to sigh in despair when he saw me messing something up.

Dedue
You simply fail to pay attention to your surroundings.

Dedue
Ensure the pan is on the flame, and that the knives are put away properly.

Dedue
Look at yourself in the mirror before you go out to make certain you have what you need.

Dedue
Everyone makes mistakes, but yours should be easy enough to correct.

Annette
That's all great advice. Thank you, Dedue! You really have a kind heart.

Annette
At first I thought you were so stern all the time.

Dedue
Am I that imposing?

Annette
Uh. Well. A bit? Maybe if you smiled sometimes. All you have to do is lift up the corners of your mouth, like this. See?

Dedue
I see. I—will try it.
