Hubert, Linhardt enter the scene

I can't believe it. How can I show my face to Lady Edelgard after this?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

That's what you get, Hubert.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

If you rested like me, you wouldn't collapse from exhaustion.
link
Hubert
volume_up

As much as it pains me to say it, you're right.
link
Hubert
volume_up

But to be looked after—ugh. By you, of all people. That might be the worst part of this.
link
Hubert
volume_up

I don't know how to feel, to be honest. So for now, let's pretend I thanked you.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Oh, come now. Even I wouldn't abandon someone who'd collapsed.
link
Hubert
volume_up

You would have in a heartbeat if anyone else had been around.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Ah, yes. Quite accurate, Hubert.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Why would I ever bother to be a decent person if there were anyone else I could foist the duty upon?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

If your situation turned bad, it would have been an absolute hassle. I could never just leave you there.
link
Hubert
volume_up

If that were the sort of man you truly were, we could never be friends.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Heh, but if we weren't friends, I probably would have just left you.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Shame you're so reluctant to do any real work. You're actually pretty good at this.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Made sure I was comfortable. Checked carefully for injuries. Even carried me here yourself.
link
Hubert
volume_up

If only you'd apply that knowledge of yours so proactively and thoroughly all the time...
link
Hubert
volume_up

You'd be a tremendous asset to the Empire.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

There you go again. I see no problem with staying just the way I am.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Think of it this way... In an anthill, 20 percent of the ants are asleep at any given time...
link
Linhardt
volume_up

And it's not because they're lazy—far from it.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

When the working ants become tired, they go to sleep, and the others wake up.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

That's me. I'm the ant who rests so I can work later when other people are tired.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Maybe that's true. But even if it is, it's still just a fancy way to say you let others do all the work.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Consider me unconvinced.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I'll consider you a bother and leave it at that.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

You and Edelgard work far too hard. I mean it. Take a break now and then.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

If you both collapsed, I think it'd be too much effort for me to bother with.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Get some rest, Hubert. Not as much as me of course.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Fine.
