Dimitri & Catherine A

Catherine
That was delicious. Wow, I'm full.

Catherine
Nothing beats a big meal after a training session.

Dimitri
...

Catherine
OK, what's up? You seem distracted.

Dimitri
Oh! My apologies, Catherine. I was just wondering whether you had any desire to return to Faerghus.

Catherine
No. I haven't even entertained the idea. My loyalty lies elsewhere.

Dimitri
May I ask why you have devoted yourself to Lady Rhea?

Catherine
It's simple. I adore her.

Catherine
Lady Rhea isn't just kind, but strong, and courageous...

Catherine
I think she's a wonderful, beautiful person. More so than anyone else in the world.

Dimitri
Wow... I'm not sure I can compete with that.

Catherine
Hah! You can't. My reluctance to return to Faerghus isn't about you though.

Catherine
Ever since I met Lady Rhea, going back just hasn't been an option.

Dimitri
That is a shame. I am certain Faerghus could use your help in the near future.

Dimitri
House Charon is one of the most sterling noble families after Fraldarius and Gautier.

Dimitri
It would be reassuring to know that you had taken up your position as head of that house...

Catherine
Eh...

Dimitri
Is something wrong?

Catherine
You need someone who's like me, but more noble.

Catherine
You're so stern and serious all the time.

Dimitri
...

Catherine
Sorry, I'm not going back. Besides, my father is alive and well, fulfilling the duties of House Charon.

Catherine
I have plenty of capable brothers and sisters who can take over after him.

Catherine
I'll keep serving Lady Rhea here. And you'll bring the Kingdom together at the capital.

Catherine
We have to direct our talents wherever they're most useful and most needed. Right?

Dimitri
Well, I...

Catherine
Anyway! Early day tomorrow. Don't want to stay up too late. You better go to bed.
