Oh, Ignatz. What are you sighing over?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Sorry! I shouldn't sigh in such a holy place.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

There's nothing wrong with it. I sigh here all the time.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

The goddess receives all our prayers and our sighs.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

What's bothering you? I'd be happy to talk about it, if you'd like.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Oh, it's nothing. Not worth talking about.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Is that so? Am I not worth talking to?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

That's not what I meant! Sorry to offend you. I'll tell you about it.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I'm just uncertain about my future. My father wants me to be a knight.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I don't think I can handle it. Can you imagine a knight as pathetic as me?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I don't find you pathetic at all. Is there something you would rather pursue?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Well, I've always loved painting.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

You want to become an artist? How wonderful!
link
Ignatz
volume_up

What's your ambition?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Me? I simply want to help people with their troubles. Those who can't help themselves.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I haven't spent much time considering how I would go about that though...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I've considered working for the church, but that's only a vague idea...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Oh, I'm sorry. We were supposed to be discussing your troubles.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Not at all. I'm actually feeling a little better.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Knowing that you aren't sure about your future, I don't feel quite so...alone.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Everyone in this world feels a little lost, you know.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I really do believe that the life of an artist is a wonderful dream to pursue.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

There was a beautiful painting of the goddess in the church where I used to live.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Whenever times were difficult, I would stare up at her and sigh.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Thinking about that painting helps me even now.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I've always wanted to paint the goddess.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

You should! I'm sure your painting will help someone else in their time of need.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I can't paint anything powerful enough to do that. I wish I could. Maybe one day...
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I'll give that some thought. Thank you, Mercedes.
