Ah, Hilda. Business in town?
link
Hilda
volume_up

Yes! I'm buying some art supplies.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Oh! To replenish what you used on our book, I presume? Allow me to compensate you.
link
Hilda
volume_up

No, no need! I use them for my own crafting and accessory making too.
link
Hilda

By the way, your tales seem quite popular! I saw a big crowd of kids at the church.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Wonderful to hear! We made the right choice, leaving it there.

Hilda

I also heard a mother scolding her child by saying, "If you keep lazing around, you'll turn into a fox!"
link
Hilda

Though as long as there's a friendly squirrel around, being a fox doesn't sound so bad.

Seteth

Hmm. That was not my intention. Perhaps the story was better off in its original form, after all.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Anyway, I guess you've got something to keep you busy after the war.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Originally these stories were for Flayn, but now there are lots of people who love them.
link
Hilda
volume_up

The kids are looking forward to your next release. You don't want to disappoint them.

Seteth

I do wonder how appropriate it is to sit around and write children's books in an era of great change.
link
Hilda
volume_up

"An era of great change." Isn't that exactly when kids need something to hold onto?
link
Hilda
volume_up

They're the future of Fódlan, after all!
link
Seteth
volume_up

Astute observation! But if I am to continue in this trade, I will require more of your assistance.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Really? You're a successful author, and you still want to use my lousy illustrations?
link
Seteth
volume_up

I need an artist who can appreciate the message and who can draw pictures that resonate with children.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Your art has a certain careless quality that I feel matches my work splendidly.
link
Hilda
volume_up

A "careless quality"? That doesn't sound like a compliment.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Did you not purchase those art supplies today in the hopes of continuing with this work?
link
Hilda
volume_up

Well, yes. I guess I can stick with it until the war is over.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Such lukewarm commitment—no matter. We can consider the post-war situation when we come to it.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Hm. I'm pretty fond of being a fox, but becoming a squirrel wouldn't be the worst thing.
link
Hilda
volume_up

I'll admit, I like seeing Seteth pour his heart into these stories...
link
Seteth
volume_up

What was that?
link
Hilda
volume_up

Didn't say a word! Let's get to work on that sequel!
