Another day, another training session, I see. You're quite dedicated.

Catherine

And practicing with the sword today. You weren't any good with it when you were little, as I recall.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

And who told you that?
link
Catherine

Lord Rodrigue mentioned it to me. He said you used to swing your sword so hard that you'd break it.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

That was ages ago... I've had plenty of time to improve since then.
link
Dimitri

Now I count swordplay as one of my specialties. Care to see for yourself?
link
Catherine
volume_up

Well, I can't just take your word for it, can I? Let's see what you've got!
link
Catherine
volume_up

Well! I'm impressed. You're better than I expected.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I could say the same of you. I suppose we students still have much to learn.
link
Catherine
volume_up

No need for false modesty. We fought as equals just now.
link
Catherine
volume_up

You're strong, and your form is excellent. You're clearly an experienced fighter.
link
Catherine
volume_up

But you're greedy. You can't be so impatient to win. It'll come at a grave cost.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Greedy? I see. I'll take that note to heart. You have my thanks for the instruction.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Ah, it returns—the formality, the stiffness.

Catherine

Anyway, after we're through here, I might head into town for some food. Care to join me?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I appreciate the invitation, but I have certain duties I must attend to this evening.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Of course you do. Never mind about my plans, then.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I thought you'd say that. You have the same sense of responsibility as I do.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Hm, you think so? I didn't want to push you to join me. We can just do it another day.
link
Catherine
volume_up

I'll confess, I'm taking a shine to you. I'd like to talk to you more.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I would like that as well.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Ever since I saw you wielding a sword all those years ago, I've been following in your footsteps.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

To be able to stand with you and cross swords is quite a—
link
Catherine
volume_up

Hey, hey, slow down! Where did all this come from? You're embarrassing me.
link
Catherine
volume_up

That's enough chatter for now anyway. Let's get back to sparring. This time with lances.
link
Catherine
volume_up

I won't hold back. Show me what you can do.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Right! Prepare yourself!
