Sylvain & Annette B

link
Annette, Sylvain enter the scene
link
Annette
volume_up

Sylvain! Good timing. There's something I want to say to you.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Uh-oh. Did I do something wrong?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Did you spot me sneaking back in this morning? Or is it about that girl who got mad I kissed her sister good-night... I can explain either way.
link
Annette
volume_up

No! I'm not here to get after you about those things. Surely other people have that covered.
link
Annette
volume_up

What I really want to talk about is your behavior during our training sessions.
link
Annette
volume_up

When we're sparring, you're always passing on great opportunities to get the edge on me.
link
Annette
volume_up

It's almost as though you're going out of your way to make me think you're incapable!
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Nah, I just like giving other people the spotlight.
link
Annette
volume_up

Uh-huh. It's not that you took something I said to heart?
link
Annette
volume_up

About how you don't have to work hard to be good at stuff and how that isn't fair?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I did take those things to heart. We're friends, right? I'd be sad if you started to hate me.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

There's just one thing I want you to remember.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Guys like me who hate hard work and sorta get by on our wits? It all falls apart eventually. I'm smart enough to know that.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

So I respect people like you. I mean it.
link
Annette
volume_up

Oh. Is that...sincerity? It's kind of creeping me out. It's just so unlike you!
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Huh?
link
Annette
volume_up

When you say nice things like that, I can't take joy in beating you!
link
Annette
volume_up

I want to beat you when you're at your best! That's why it bothers me so much when you don't try your hardest against me.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Let me put this a different way...
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I've always been treated like I'm special, and I'm not. At least, I don't think I am.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I'm just tired of people thinking they know what I can and can't do.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

When everybody expects something of you or envies you...it's kind of suffocating. I'd rather people think I'm dumb.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Well, I mean, I can still be pretty dumb. Heh...
link
Annette
volume_up

I have to admit, I have a hard time understanding where you're coming from.
link
Annette
volume_up

Just know that...I want you to keep being great at everything without trying.
link
Annette
volume_up

If you stop being that way, I won't have any competition!
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Heh, competition, huh? I like the sound of that.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Where the heck were you when I was growing up?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

If I had someone like you back then, I think I may have turned out different. Better, I mean.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Anyway, I'd love to chat more with you. Would you like to grab some tea with me or...
link
Annette
volume_up

Sure thing! The very next moment I'm free. For now, I need to get to my magic training.
link
Annette leaves the scene
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Oh, I see. Some other time then. I look forward to it, Annette.
