Edelgard & Linhardt B

Edelgard
Linhardt, at least try to do some training. Use a staff or a rod or a broom, for all I care.

Edelgard
You slept through the whole debate, didn't you? Fine. I'll summarize it for you.

Linhardt
Not the whole debate. I closed my eyes only after I knew what reading would cover the topic.

Edelgard
There you are. Don't tell me you were sneaking out to do some training...

Linhardt
Of course not. I was sneaking out to avoid you! Ugh, how did you find me this time?

Edelgard
A mere coincidence. Why would you wish to hide from me?

Linhardt
Because you're an awful nuisance. Why do you pester me so?

Edelgard
To ensure that your talent is not wasted due to your lack of—

Linhardt
It's none of your business how I spend my time or how I use my "talent."

Linhardt
Have you assumed the role of my mother? You overplay the part! She was only half as overbearing.

Edelgard
Wh...what is the matter with you?

Linhardt
Fine. I'll try harder...really.

Linhardt
I'm sure you see all this as my interfering with your duty as a leader...

Linhardt
Have you considered how it feels for those of us who serve below you? You are a serious pain, you know.

Edelgard
How so?

Linhardt
You're like a mother who insists on accompanying her son to his own knighting ceremony!

Edelgard
That's taking it a bit far, don't you think?

Linhardt
No, I'd say that it's putting it lightly. All your interfering is greatly hindering my research.

Edelgard
I see. Very well. You've made your perspective perfectly clear.
