Hey. Got a minute?

Lorenz

Ah, Leonie. Are we to sharpen swords again?
link
Leonie
volume_up

No, I came to give you this handkerchief back. Sorry, I know I held onto it for a while.
link
Leonie
volume_up

You lent me this. Remember?
link
Lorenz
volume_up

I recall giving it to you.

Lorenz

It is a noble's duty to give to the commonfolk. In return, the commoner need only pay respect.
link
Leonie
volume_up

That's nice. You left out the part where the nobles take all the stuff the regular folks make.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Yes, the commonfolk give the fruits of their labor— willingly I might add—as a token of that respect.

Lorenz

The head of Sauin Village offers his tribute in exactly that spirit, you know.
link
Leonie
volume_up

Sauin? That's...my village. You knew?
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Of course. We granted exclusive hunting rights to Sauin, and forbade outsiders from poaching.
link
Lorenz

In fact, when we received complaints about just that, we hired mercenaries to deal with the issue.

Leonie

So that's what brought Jeralt...
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Hm? What was that?
link
Leonie
volume_up

Nothing. Look, just take the handkerchief. I'm returning something I borrowed from a friend.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Very well. As your friend, I will accept it.
link
Leonie
volume_up

You know, I really wish you wouldn't think of nobles as always giving and commoners as only receiving.
link
Leonie
volume_up

Friends help each other, without thinking about status. And that help goes both ways.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Quite so. And when I require the aid of a friend, I assure you I will happily recognize it.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

But only with friends. In the main, I must continue to refuse assistance from the commonfolk.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

For a noble to accept would be disgraceful! Haha!

Lorenz leaves the scene
link
Leonie
volume_up

Huh. I always thought he was just stuck-up.
link
Leonie
volume_up

Turns out, he just has this grand idea of nobility he's trying to live up to...
link
Leonie
volume_up

Oh no! I didn't even give him the handkerchief!
