Petra enters the scene

Hubert enters the scene

Hubert

Petra. Industrious as ever, I see.

Petra

Hello, Hubert. Yes, I am trying to be...industrious.

Petra

I must be working hard to improve my position. Right now it is not a good one.

Hubert

Even accounting for that, your efforts are impressive.

Hubert

I wish a little of you would rub off on certain people here. One troublesome slouch in particular.

Petra

Rub? I will not be rubbing on anyone!

Hubert

Not literally.

Hubert

I never would have imagined you would adjust so well to life in Fódlan.

Hubert

When I first met you, you couldn't understand a single word of the language.

Hubert

You had the look of a cornered animal. So much so I thought you'd grown up in the wild.

Petra

I had more youth then. And the experience was...terrifying.

Petra

My grandfather ordered me to go to Fódlan with suddenness.

Petra

I was stolen to a strange land filled with strange people. The treatment I was receiving was like... like I was a strange beast.

Hubert

It is unfortunate, but while you were called our guest, you were actually a hostage.

Hubert

You were meant to be insurance that Brigid would not restore its alliance with Dagda and attack us.

Hubert

The Empire required leverage, and after all, you are the princess of Brigid.

Petra

It gave me sadness to leave my home, but I am not unhappy that I came to the Empire.

Petra

I have learned much understanding from the outside world. My experience has made me become who I am.

Petra

And meeting you and Lady Edelgard has had great value for me.

Hubert

I admire your spirit in the face of adversity. You set a strong example to follow.

Hubert

And there is much more adversity to come.

Hubert

After all, we face great adversity, even now.
