Sylvain & Lorenz B

Sylvain
I just wanted to say that I've been watching, and I'm really impressed by how hard you work. Very dedicated for someone so young.

Town Girl
Oh, um, thank you.

Sylvain
I really admire your...everything. But, ya know, everybody needs to relax now and then. I was wondering if maybe you and me could...

Town Girl
I'm quite busy. I should get going. Bye.

Lorenz
That was difficult to watch.

Sylvain
Lorenz, ever since you started hanging around, I've had no luck. Usually, if I show a girl I'm mature, noble, and interested, she's an easy catch.

Lorenz
Your logic is sound, I will admit, but your results are less than entirely convincing.

Lorenz
Honestly, all this talk of maturity and experience from a shallow person like you is rather laughable.

Sylvain
Shallow? What, like Your Nobleness is some properly cultured man of the world?

Lorenz
Naturally. My bearing is as elegant and refined as silk. Observe.

Lorenz
You seem to be deep in thought. Is there something on your mind?

Lorenz
Please allow me to lend you my ear. I will gladly shoulder any of your burdens.

Woman
Oh, thank you. But it's not something I really want to talk about.

Lorenz
So harsh—even the slightest worry, I would have been happy to listen...

Sylvain
Hah! Why, yes, your silky bearing was quite impressive.

Sylvain
You're always going on about nobility, but that's no way to win a woman.

Sylvain
Your problem, and I may have told you this before— at least twice—your problem is, you're pretentious.

Lorenz
That's rich, coming from you.

Lorenz
Your bearing is so flippant that you utterly fail to gain a lady's trust! How can you not see that?

Sylvain
All I'm failing to see, is you getting a girl's attention!

Lorenz
How dare you!

Sylvain
Ugh, listen. I'm sorry. That was mean. And you're probably right about me not being serious enough.

Lorenz
I will concede I feel the same. Enough, at least, to keep your advice at the back of my mind.

Lorenz
I was a touch too stubborn.

Sylvain
It's the same in battle, isn't it? If you don't bend a little, you fail.

Lorenz
Even so...

Sylvain
Yeah... With that being said...

Lorenz
I will outclass you, Sylvain!

Sylvain
Bring it on, Lorenz!
