I do believe a nap is in order...

Oh, this is lovely... Just feel that breeze...

Dorothea? Whatever are you doing here?

Dorothea

I was thinking of relaxing here, but it looks as if someone else is lounging in my spot already.

Dorothea

Taking a nap in public like this? Really, Lin. The nobles look down on such behavior.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

You do know I am of noble birth.

Dorothea
volume_up

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just teasing. You never do act very noble though. Why is that?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Each person must follow their own way. This is how I prefer to live.
link
Linhardt

Even if some of the more pretentious nobles like to poke fun at my ways.

Dorothea

Doesn't that bother you?
link
Dorothea

I mean, really? It doesn't hurt your pride or anything?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

What use is pride? It doesn't feed nor clothe you. It offers no warmth on a cold night.

Dorothea
volume_up

First time I've heard a noble say something like that.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Well, most nobles are... Oh, what is the polite way to say it? Fools. Yes. They are fools. As for myself...

Linhardt

My father is the Minister of Domestic Affairs, and he has pride enough for the both of us.
link
Linhardt

For example, did you know he and the Minister of Military Affairs cannot get along, although they value each other greatly?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

His pride gets in the way, so he can't make amends. That is why there is discord between civil ministers and military officers in the Empire.
link
Linhardt

And so pride serves no good purpose in politics either. So tell me, what use is it?

Dorothea

I wonder if bad blood between civil and military leaders is somewhat unavoidable...
link
Dorothea
volume_up

The Minister of Domestic Affairs is in charge of all civil officials, so if they just give in easily, their subordinates would lose respect, right?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

I get the feeling that if your pride isn't equal to the responsibility you bear, then you aren't fit to lead.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Also, I happen to think pride can be quite charming.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

And how necessary is charm? It just gets in the way of living your life.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

If you lack charm, nobody will give you a second glance.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Right, which means more time for napping.
link
Dorothea

Lin... You can't really believe what you're saying, can you?
