Ingrid, Seteth enter the scene

...

Still contemplating, I see.

Without so much as a word, you've read me through and through.

Since last we spoke, I've been thinking a lot about my future. How I want to spend my life.

It's a lot to think about, and I haven't entirely sorted out where I'm going. I think I need more time to grow.

On the contrary, you have given this honest and sincere thought. I am quite impressed, actually.

You're impressed with me?

Worry about the future is not unique to youth. It is human nature.

At the risk of being overbearing, might I offer you one more piece of advice?

Of course.

Have you considered what your life would be like had you not been born with a Crest?

Hmm...

Do you suppose that you would have been ordinary? Insignificant? I do not think so.

Even without a Crest, such a promising young lady as yourself would have a bright future ahead of her.

Seteth, I...

I am not typically inclined to flattery, so I hope you will take my words to heart. Have faith in yourself.

If you trade that faith for a misplaced pride in your Crest, I will have to reassess your character.

I've no intention of doing such a thing.

It will take me time and experience, but I will find my path and walk it proudly.

I am glad to hear it, Ingrid.
