Dorothea & Sylvain A

Sylvain
Ah... Why am I so unlucky with women lately?

Dorothea
Oh, Sylvain, what's that face for? Have you been dumped again?

Sylvain
Heh, isn't there an unwritten rule you shouldn't ask someone that?

Dorothea
I'm sorry. I thought you didn't mind being dumped.

Dorothea
Huh. So, your love life can get you down sometimes after all. Who knew?

Sylvain
I'm sad every time I break up with someone! It's just, I usually try to be the one doing the breaking up.

Sylvain
I've never had a hard time with girls...ever. Not until recently.

Sylvain
But now when I think about it, I wonder what any of them even liked about me.

Sylvain
It's not as if any of them knew much about me. I don't get it.

Dorothea
Isn't that what a relationship is for? Learning about someone else? You can't know it all right at the start.

Sylvain
I asked you before, if you would have invited me out if I was a peasant.

Dorothea
You did ask me that, yes.

Sylvain
That was wrong of me to say. I've just... It's not an excuse, but I'm always so suspicious.

Sylvain
I'm a nobleman with a Crest. The marriage proposals don't stop coming. Everybody wants me.

Sylvain
Except they don't actually want me at all. They want my bloodline. Within my family and without, it's always the same story.

Sylvain
Sometimes I think that if I didn't have a Crest, no one would look at me twice.

Dorothea
I see. And...you're probably not wrong.

Dorothea
Honestly I've had those same sort of thoughts myself.

Sylvain
Oh? What sort of thoughts might those be?

Dorothea
I sang, people cheered and applauded, and when I walked off stage, I'd find the same thing every night.

Dorothea
A mountain of presents and marriage proposals.

Dorothea
But none of those people knew me. All they knew was the singer they saw on the stage.

Dorothea
All they wanted was my looks and my voice. None of them even tried to get to know the real me.

Sylvain
Heh, I'm pretty sure I've heard this somewhere.

Dorothea
We may come from different places, but we're much the same, wouldn't you say?

Sylvain
Yeah, I suppose we are.

Sylvain
Look, Dorothea. I've realized something.

Sylvain
Even if you were an old grandma, I'd still flirt with you...and I'd absolutely win you over.

Sylvain
Though, I'd much rather win you over now...and be with you until you become an old grandma.

Dorothea
That might be the most legitimately romantic thing you've ever said, Sylvain. And I can't say I disagree...

Dorothea
I'd rather you win me over now too, so that I can stay by your side until you're an old grandpa.

Sylvain
Well, before any of that, will you go to dinner with me?

Dorothea
I'd be happy to.
