Dorothea

Nice to see you, Yurikins. I was wondering if you might do me a favor.

Yuri
volume_up

You're looking a bit serious, ladybird. Oh...your foot. What happened?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

It's healing nicely, but I'm not supposed to put too much weight on it.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Ah, so that's why you've called me here. What do you need? Help with errands?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Not an errand. An opera.
link
Yuri
volume_up

I see.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

There's been some loose plans for a performance. Nothing professional, strictly volunteer.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

I signed up to take part as one of the main roles.
link
Dorothea

And then this happened. The professor told me I should bow out, just to be on the safe side.

Yuri
volume_up

Makes sense to stay off your feet while you heal. Meanwhile, you want me to fill your role, right?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Got it in one! I'm glad we're on the same page here.

Yuri

Surely someone else is up to the task. Professor Manuela for example...

Yuri

Surely someone else is up to the task. Why not ask around?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Already tried. Trust me, I wouldn't ask unless I was desperate. I knew how much you'd hate the idea.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Aside from hating it, I also wouldn't remotely sound like you do.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Oh, don't worry about that. Most of our audience won't be able to tell the difference.

Dorothea
volume_up

The crowd's going to be a bunch of down-on-their- luck children that the monastery's taken in.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

The crowd's going to be a bunch of survivors and war orphans, not your usual connoisseurs.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

I'm only talking about a small festival in the plaza. We want to give them a good show, that's all.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

You have an idea of what they've been through. I thought you might want to pitch in.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Mm-hmm... I hear your angle.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Fine, fine, yes. I'll do it.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Good for you. I knew you'd rise to the occasion.
link
Yuri
volume_up

You certainly know how to pull heartstrings to get your way, don't you?
link
Yuri
volume_up

Where did you learn to do that, anyway? The opera?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Could be! I've never known a songstress who wasn't both beautiful and resourceful.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Now, are you ready to go over the libretto? You've got a lot of rehearsing to do before the performance.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Seriously, though... Thanks, Yurikins.

Yuri

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
