Would you permit me to offer you tea, as a token of my gratitude?

Of course. I will look forward to it.

Certainly! Thank you for coming. And please, relax. This is no formal occasion.

Oh! This tea tastes so good!

Lorenz

Doesn't it just? This is my absolute favorite. I'm pleased you like it.

This pastry may suit your palate also. It is commonly paired with this tea, in my homeland.

Marianne

Ah, it's sweet. It complements the astringency of the tea.

Lorenz

You have exquisite taste! And there is plenty more where that came from. We simply must do this again.

Marianne

You want to spend more time with me?

Lorenz

Naturally.

Marianne

Well, that's...

Marianne
volume_up

Actually, there's something I need to say.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Yes? What is it?

Marianne

I've been keeping this from you for a while. It's...

Marianne

It's about my Crest. It's just terrible. I—

Lorenz

Please, that's quite enough!

Marianne

Oh!

Lorenz

You're trembling. If uttering this secret hurts you, then I have no desire to hear it.

Marianne
volume_up

It-it's just...

Lorenz

Your smile is a greater gift to me than any truth.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Whatever you have hitherto concealed, I am certain it is essential to you. And I do wish to know it.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

But not until the day arrives when you can tell me with a smile on your face.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

I am not the sort of man to prize my own knowledge over others' happiness, you know.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Besides. The mystery is part of your charm.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Hehehe!
link
Marianne
volume_up

You're funny, Lorenz...
link
Lorenz
volume_up

There! That's what I mean! Your beauty has always captivated, but that smile truly warms my heart!
link
Marianne
volume_up

This is the first time I've smiled in so long...and I have your kindness to thank for that.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

As I've said, you are perfect just as you are. But I suppose I can take a little credit!
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Yes, your radiant smile shall illuminate all the world! With me by your side, you will not be able to help it!
link
Marianne

Hehehe! I'm looking forward to that.
