Flayn, Dimitri enter the scene

Flayn

Up this late practicing with your lance, are you?

Dimitri

And what about you? Have you got something on your mind again?

Dimitri

You should really go to bed. It is chilly out, and you could catch cold.

Flayn
...

Dimitri

What's the matter? Have you been having nightmares?

Flayn

Well, in a certain sense, yes.

Flayn

Can you spare a moment?

Dimitri

Of course.

Flayn

Thank you.

Dimitri, Flayn enter the scene

Flayn

I want to apologize to you.

Flayn

When last we spoke, I mishandled the situation.

Dimitri

Your words that night touched me deeply. It felt as though I had been punched in the gut.

Dimitri

But more importantly, I think I owe you an apology.

Dimitri

I...lied to you.

Flayn

You did?

Dimitri

Do you recall when I ate that meal you cooked and I told you it was delicious?

Dimitri

The truth is that no matter what I eat, I can scarcely taste it. I have not had my sense of taste for... nine years now.

Flayn

My cooking certainly is not something people often compliment me on...

Dimitri

I am sorry. When I said the food was good, I was just saying what I thought you would want to hear...

Flayn

An apology is not necessary. You were only trying to be kind, after all.

Dimitri

In the end, I am not sure it was kind.

Flayn

Just the same, it was nice to hear.

Flayn

Hey, I have an idea!

Flayn

What if you sampled some really pungent food?

Flayn

Or something extremely spicy! Maybe that would—

Dimitri

Flayn...

Flayn

Uh... Yes?

Dimitri

I like your cooking. I cannot taste it properly, but in my book, it is truly delicious.

Flayn

No need for the flattery!

Flayn

Anyhow, maybe someday you will get your taste back.

Flayn

I hope then you will be able to compliment me sincerely about my cooking.
