Oh. Hey, Marianne.

Marianne

Um. Ah. Leonie?

Leonie

I thought greenhouse duty was mine today. What are you doing here?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Oh. I...um.
link
Leonie
volume_up

I'm sorry. You've been avoiding me ever since I lost my temper, haven't you?
link
Leonie
volume_up

You're probably scared of me now.
link
Leonie

In the moment, I was hurt. I'm sure you had good reasons to act the way you did.
link
Leonie
volume_up

If you want me to leave you alone, I will. I promise, you've got nothing to fear from me.

Marianne
volume_up

Leonie, I...

Leonie

I've watered all the plants, so I'm done here. I'll get out of your way.

Marianne
volume_up

W-wait!
link
Leonie
volume_up

Huh? Hey, what is it?
link
Marianne
volume_up

It's. Um...
link
Leonie
volume_up

...

Marianne

I don't mean to bother you. I'm sorry for keeping you here.
link
Leonie
volume_up

No, not at all. Thanks for keeping me. Honestly, I've been worried about you.
link
Leonie
volume_up

If you ever want to talk, about anything, just say so. I'll make time.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I've been avoiding people for most of my life, so I'm not the best at speaking.
link
Leonie
volume_up

I know it's hard. You've been through a lot, but it's worth the extra effort to talk to your friends.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I make everyone uncomfortable. I just don't know how to carry on a conversation.
link
Leonie
volume_up

Hey, we're having one right now. And I'm telling you, I'm not uncomfortable. I'm actually really happy.
link
Leonie
volume_up

So don't worry about me. And it's OK to be quiet sometimes, but try to find a middle ground, at least. Otherwise, you'll never get any better.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Oh...
link
Leonie
volume_up

As far as what to talk about, anything's good. Hobbies, things you like, a dream you had last night... Really, anything.
link
Marianne
volume_up

OK, then. I, um... I like this flower. I think it's nice.
link
Leonie
volume_up

I think so too! Did you know that, where I come from, those have a completely different color?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Oh! Really? I'd like to see that.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Oh! Really? I'd like to see that.
link
Leonie
volume_up

Great! Come visit my village someday. In fact, we should invite all of our friends. It'll be fun!
link
Marianne
volume_up

Oh, yes! That would be very exciting!

Oh, yes! That would be very exciting!
