Dedue & Mercedes C

Mercedes
Dear Goddess. Please protect us...

Dedue
Mercedes.

Mercedes
Oh, Dedue. Was there something you needed?

Dedue
His Highness sent me to collect you.

Mercedes
I see. I'll be with you in just a moment. I'm almost finished here.

Dedue
You were praying.

Mercedes
I was. Praying for everyone's safety.

Dedue
The Fódlan goddess will accept prayers of any sort.

Mercedes
It's true. I've thought the same thing myself.

Mercedes
That reminds me, Dedue. Weren't you born in Duscur?

Dedue
Yes.

Mercedes
Do the people of Duscur pray to the goddess too?

Dedue
Duscur had a very different view of religion.

Mercedes
Oh?

Dedue
In Duscur there were many gods. The sky had a god. The earth had a god.

Dedue
We made offerings to the war god for victory in battle. Held feasts for the sea god to calm the waves.

Mercedes
So your people prayed to different gods depending on what they needed?

Dedue
Correct.

Mercedes
Your beliefs sound so different from ours! Tell me more.

Dedue
Why? Duscur is a ruin.

Mercedes
Duscur may be gone, but you're still here.

Mercedes
Would you tell me more about it the next time we meet?

Dedue
If you insist.

Mercedes
Really? That would be great!

Mercedes
I'm looking forward to hearing more soon.

Dedue
Duscur is gone, but I'm still here...
