Catherine enters the scene

Catherine

So now you've held Thunderbrand. Learn anything?

Linhardt

Hmm...

Catherine

What's going on? You look like you're going to faint. Is that Thunderbrand's doing?

Linhardt

No, not at all. My body is operating at its normal, healthy level of sleepiness.

Linhardt

I felt no effect at all, honestly. Perhaps one exposure to the Relic wasn't enough.

Catherine

Hah! Don't tell me you want to get ahold of it again.

Linhardt

Of course not. There is a difference between taking a risk and being a fool.

Linhardt

Interesting experiment though. I used all my might, yet absolutely nothing happened.

Linhardt

It seems if one's Crest is not compatible, a Relic simply will not work.

Linhardt

To feel that response, to better understand the bond, that is more than enough for me.

Catherine

I see. What will you do now? I assume your Relic research is complete.

Linhardt

Not at all. I have other clues to follow—experiments to perform. That said...

Linhardt

I would be pleased if someone who could use their Relic with all their might would join in my research.

Catherine

What? You don't mean me, do you?

Linhardt

Now that you mention it, I suppose you would fit the bill.

Catherine

Sure seems that's what you were getting at...

Catherine

Fine. When the war's over, I'll help with your research.

Linhardt

Oh, you will?

Catherine

I figure if I don't do it, you'll find some other poor soul to bother.

Catherine

It's like I'm keeping a high-maintenance cat. You're endlessly curious.

Linhardt

I am not being kept. The sentiment is welcome, but I am still not a cat.
