Edelgard & Bernadetta B

Edelgard
Bernadetta.

Bernadetta
Ah! Lady Edelgard! Wh-what can I do for you?

Edelgard
I appreciate all the effort you're making to overcome your fear of me.

Edelgard
Your dedication is commendable. However...

Bernadetta
I'm just getting in your way, aren't I?

Bernadetta
Knew it, Bernie. You're just an intruder. Nobody wants you around! Stupid! Oh...

Edelgard
Bernadetta!

Bernadetta
Yes!

Edelgard
The problem you keep running into is that you don't listen to what people are really saying.

Edelgard
That's why your efforts are in vain. You need to listen instead of jumping to your own conclusions.

Bernadetta
...

Edelgard
Are you...listening to me?

Bernadetta
Yes!

Edelgard
Then why aren't you responding?

Bernadetta
Um... I wanted to listen until you were finished. Ah, sorry! Were you finished then?

Edelgard
I was.

Bernadetta
Then, may I please scream now?

Edelgard
By all means. But please try to make it a fairly quiet one.

Bernadetta
Just a tiny one.

Edelgard
...

Bernadetta
Um, wait. What was I upset about, again?

Bernadetta
That's weird. I forgot why I was about to scream, and now I don't even need to. What a nice feeling!

Edelgard
You're trying your best. I know that. But even so—

Bernadetta
B-but what? What'd I do this time? I'm so sorry! Whatever it is! I'll go to my room and never bother you again!

Edelgard
Wait, you didn't let me finish! I was only going to say that—

Bernadetta
Aaaah!
