It's strange. I never thought you and I would be able to sit together and drink tea like this.

Ferdinand

Drink tea, you say, but that does not smell like tea. The aroma... Would that be coffee by any chance?

Ferdinand

Imported from Dagda, I believe. I do not care for it myself.

Hubert

Your knowledge is impressive. Although I should expect nothing less from a noble, I suppose.

Hubert

Lady Edelgard surpasses you in nearly every respect.

Hubert

But I think, when it comes to positivity, you may actually exceed her.

Ferdinand
volume_up

Excuse me?
link
Hubert
volume_up

In a way, it is merely a mask for your tactlessness. But even so, your relentless optimism...
link
Hubert
volume_up

Well. Suffice it to say that it is your best quality.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

I... What?
link
Hubert
volume_up

You are constantly striving to grow as a person. To seek new knowledge. To push new limits.
link
Hubert
volume_up

When others might get distracted or abandon their path, you never yield.
link
Hubert
volume_up

In that aspect, at least, I think you are unmatched.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Hubert... Are you all right?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Do you have a cold? Or the plague? Am I hearing a deathbed confession?
link
Hubert
volume_up

It was only a compliment. There's no need for such dramatic exaggeration.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Dramatic, you say?
link
Hubert
volume_up

I do my best to analyze others without emotion.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Even if I find you to be a contemptible degenerate, I can still evaluate your abilities in an impartial way.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

So because you assess people without emotion, you're totally confident in your appraisals.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

It seems I was wrong about you.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Heh. You actually understand.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Please do not compliment me again though. I find it quite unsettling. It is like hearing a snake sing an aria.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

At least put it in a letter next time.
link
Hubert
volume_up

In the very unlikely event that there is a next time, I promise to put it in writing.
