Let's put the match on hold for now, Lorenz. Or if you can't wait, we'll say you won.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

No, let us resume it later. You haven't yet had the chance to use Thunderbrand.
link
Catherine
volume_up

You weren't using a Relic either. If you had been, you would have won easily.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Even without it, you're stronger than I expected. You seem to be fighting more intensely than usual.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Under ordinary circumstances, I'd have surely lost. But I had a vested interest in testing your character.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

If your swordplay relied at all on the dirty tricks of a fugitive, I would have felt compelled to defeat you.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Are you saying you fought more ably because you had a sense of purpose?
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Not as such, although I admit that when we crossed blades I became envious of your strength.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

I caught a glimpse, in your elegant swordsmanship, of an aspect of the noble ideal that I yet lack.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

That envy is perhaps what drove me to fight so hard.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Interesting...
link
Lorenz
volume_up

I was also able to satisfy my curiosity. You are no criminal, but rather a lady of great conviction.
link
Catherine
volume_up

That might be an exaggeration. I've done some things I'm not proud of.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Modest as ever. Another of your noble qualities.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm no longer a noble.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Whatever your title, the responsible use of power is the very hallmark of nobility.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Deny it all you like, but the way I see it, you are indeed a true noble.
link
Catherine
volume_up

I don't want to be a "true noble." I won't be tied down by any stuffy idea of nobility.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Although, if this is your way of flirting with me, perhaps I can be persuaded otherwise.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

That's rather sudden.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Tell me, Lorenz. Do you often woo noble women?
link
Catherine
volume_up

As a "true noble," I must be an ideal target for a fellow like you.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Since you put it that way, I... Apologies, but I confess you've quite rendered me speechless.
link
Catherine
volume_up

Lighten up! I'm just teasing. You're clearly not ready to woo me.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Not ready?! Do I not suffice for you?! Is there some flaw that I could conceivably correct?!
link
Catherine
volume_up

You're more open-minded than you used to be. But you're still so hung up on status and lineage.
link
Catherine
volume_up

If you became a more tolerant person, maybe it would work out.
link
Catherine
volume_up

What matters isn't someone's blood. It's what they want, what they fear, what they accomplish.
link
Catherine
volume_up

When you understand that, let me know, and I might just fall for you.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Just wait and you shall see, Catherine! I fully intend to live up to the very highest of your standards!
