Dorothea & Felix A+

Dorothea
So, Felix, is the tea to your liking?

Felix
It is.

Dorothea
It's nice to relax like this every now and then, isn't it?

Felix
It is.

Dorothea
You said some of your equipment is damaged, didn't you?

Felix
It...it is.

Dorothea
...

Felix
...

Dorothea
Are you not in the mood to talk?

Dorothea
We could discuss your family or what's happening in high society? Flavors of tea? Your favorite jokes?

Felix
None of those. I already told you I don't joke.

Dorothea
Of course, only cynicism.

Dorothea
Oh, I know! We're holding a small opera in the cathedral soon.

Dorothea
I'll be singing too. If you're interested in... But of course you aren't.

Felix
You can sing?

Dorothea
I'm sorry. What did you just say? Can I sing? I was only a diva of the Mittelfrank Opera Company, that's all.

Felix
Oh, right. I forgot.

Dorothea
You forgot. Am I that uninteresting to you?

Dorothea
What must you think of me?

Felix
You're insincere and loud, is what I think. But you do make a good sparring partner.

Felix
And a good tea companion.

Dorothea
Oh?

Felix
Anyway. When's the concert?

Dorothea
It's an opera. And you don't have to come.

Felix
You just invited me. You can't tell me not to come. That's for me to decide.

Dorothea
Then you must be there! I'll sing my heart out, just for you.

Felix
I haven't said I'll go.

Dorothea
Are you going to come or not? If you keep teasing me, I might just pretend to cry.

Felix
Fine. I'll go.

Dorothea
Fantastic! I look forward to it.
