Dorothea

It's time I fessed up, Yurikins. I saw the whole thing.

Yuri
volume_up

What was it you think you saw?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

It looked like you were singing to the children in the alley out back.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

And may I say, you were fantastic. Your performance hit me right in the heart.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

That was a song from Mittelfrank's Imperial capital show, right?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Ah, the good old days. You must have come back night after night if you remember it that well.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Perhaps a few times... I remember well how you looked upon that stage.
link
Yuri
volume_up

You were the talk of the capital among all the nobles. Unsurpassable? Yes, that was it.
link
Yuri
volume_up

It's hard to believe I'd run into that unsurpassable songstress in a place like this. Hm. Luck is on my side, as ever.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

I couldn't convince you to sing tenor yourself, hm? You're talented enough for it.
link
Yuri
volume_up

What are you getting at? Is this an invitation from the Mystical Songstress herself?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Male virtuosos are hard to come by. Would-be divas are a dime a dozen, but men? Not so much.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

And they have to be talented. As good as I am, which is very talented indeed.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

I think you have what it takes. If you're interested, I can—
link
Yuri
volume_up

Sorry, but no. No way in hell am I ever doing that.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Goodness. You could have stopped at "no."
link
Yuri
volume_up

I can't think of anything more wretched than getting up on a stage to sing in front of a bunch of people.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

You didn't seem to mind singing for those children.
link
Yuri
volume_up

The little ones weren't feeling well and couldn't sleep, so I sang them a lullaby to help.
link
Yuri
volume_up

That's a far cry from standing on the same stage as you have with all those stuffy nobles staring at me.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Truthfully? I'm not brave enough for it.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Rein it in, Yurikins. It's the opera, not the battlefield. This isn't a life or death situation.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Heh heh... Fair enough. Sometimes I forget what's a real threat and what isn't.
link
Yuri
volume_up

But I must ask you never to bring up singing again. Not to me.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Not if you want to keep things amicable between us.
link
Yuri leaves the scene
link
Dorothea
volume_up

How can someone that good at singing hate it so much?
