- === Yuri/Bernadetta ===
- You want me to work with Yuri? Alone?! I'm not afraid to say it... I'm terrified.
- If you've got time to whine, you've got time to work. Otherwise, this won't ever get done.
- Why should I care if it never gets done?! Because I'll be stuck here forever?! OK, OK, let's get to work!
- I hope you'll remember how good I did the next time you're assigning partners, Professor.
- "Yuri is the best! He made all this worth doing!" *laughs* We were quite the team, I must say.
- Well, it wasn't perfect, but it all worked out in the end, yeah?
- Sure! Great! I only had three panic attacks, so yeah, pretty good day!
- Still as a stone, Bernie. If he can't see you, then you're not in his way.
- What a weird, lumpy rock. Definitely doesn't belong here—better toss it into a nearby body of water!
- What?! No! Opposite! Look, I'm helping!
- Apparently miracles do come true. We somehow worked well together.
- Is that good? Is it over? Can I go?
- We're done, now... Right, Yuri?
- Nope, we sure aren't! It's not done until we've wrapped this up and reported back.
- *laugh* This reminds me of our academy days. We had a lot of fun back then, didn't we?
- Keeping an eye on you so you didn't go and do something dumb was never my idea of fun...
- Hey! I was just a kid!
- Look, Professor, we did it! *laugh* I knew it'd be a piece of cake for us!
- And we had fun doing it. Win win.
- We did well, but we could have done even better.
- Speak for yourself, Yuri! No, OK, you're right... I wasn't at my best, either.
- Meals are better enjoyed when in the company of others. Don't you agree, Bernadetta?
- Sure, but...can I get all this, um...to go?
- Will you talk to her for me? She's been avoiding me nonstop.
- Of course I avoid you! I avoid everyone! And I'm sitting right here, you know!
- I don't mind going out, if I get to eat with you two! Here, Yuri, try some of this!
- Yes, yes, adorable, Bernadetta. Plopping the food you dislike onto my plate. Cut it out, will you?
- === Hapi/Constance ===
- My darkest fear is that I shall be a burden to you, dear Hapi.
- Yeesh. Try not to worry about that, OK? Let's both just focus on getting this done.
- Maybe see if you can work in the shade, Coco. We might finish up more quickly that way.
- This is proof enough that the bond we forged underground has borne fruit!
- That's a little dramatic, but you're not wrong. We work well together.
- I don't like to point fingers, but Coco really slowed us down.
- Th-that wasn't my— Very well, it was my fault. But only technically!
- I already know what you're going to say. Let's just get this done, all right?
- I am dazzled by your instant grasp on the situation, but in truth—
- You didn't get enough sleep. What else is new?
- Pushing past the limits of sleep deprivation gives one a sensation unlike any other.
- Sure, job well done, yay for us. Maybe get some sleep now, OK?
- Your contributions were immense next to my pitifully meager efforts.
- Eh. To be honest, neither of us did all that great.
- Hapi! Have we not discussed your revolting table manners enough?!
- Here we go again. Coco, food tastes better when I eat it like this.
- Behold, Professor! We need only sprinkle a bit of this secret ingredient that Hapi and I found and—
- Coco... If you go and tell everyone about it, it's not much of a secret.
- === Balthus/Hilda ===
- I've got this, Hilda. Just leave everything to me!
- Fine by me! Though just so you know, I won't be paying you for your services.
- What?! No deal, then. Guess we'll have to split the work down the middle.
- Take a look at that, Professor! We nailed it, all thanks to Baltie.
- She means it. I was the only one pulling my weight. You're getting too old for that nonsense, Hilda.
- Eh, you can't win 'em all. Trust me. We'll do better next time, pal.
- I don't think it was all that bad. But yeah, Baltie will do better next time!
- Stand back, everybody! I'm going to give it my all, for once.
- What's your angle, Hilda? You don't expect me to pay you, right?
- *sigh* Of course not. I just want to prove that I can handle things without your help.
- Hilda did a great job. I'm surprised too! With her help, it was a piece of cake.
- I know, right? So you don't have to worry so much about me. OK, Baltie?
- You did great work, but this was supposed to be a job for the both of us. Rely on me next time, yeah?
- You might have a point. Next time I won't try to handle it all on my own.
- Look at us, sitting down and enjoying a meal together. Just like the good old days, eh Baltie?
- Heh, that's right. Brings me back to the days when you, Holst, and I were inseparable.
- We may not have a lot more chances to eat together like this. But don't go getting all sentimental on me, got it?
- No morbid talk allowed while we're eating, Baltie. You hear me? None of us is dying any time soon.
- ===Balthus/Lysithea ===
- All right, Little Lady. I've got something special planned to help you through this task.
- Something like what? You're making me nervous.
- Heh, it's just a little treat. Something to eat once the job is done. Something...sweet.
- Things turned out wonderfully! Now then, I'll take that treat you mentioned.
- We really killed it, didn't we? Who knew we'd make such a great team...
- *pouting noise* The scent of that treat in your pocket kept wafting past my nose and distracting me. I'm sorry...
- Don't worry your little head over it. We did well enough. You can still have the treat, so chin up.
- Guess this doesn't count as repaying my debt to your family, but I'll still give it my all.
- It's my parents you're repaying—not me.
- Anyway, regarding that treat you mentioned— Er... No. You know what?
- I excel at any task—regardless of whether or not there are sweets involved. I'm not some little kid.
- That a fact? Could have sworn you zeroed in on my sweets pocket the second I showed up...
- Gah, I was overeager and messed it up for both of us. Want some sweets in place of an apology?
- Is that a question? Hand them over, Balthus.
- Look at the little lady go! And here I thought you wouldn't know a vegetable if it bit you on the nose.
- When the occasion calls for it, sure. Although, not sure there's much room left for these ones. *laugh*
- You...uh, you missed something, Balthus. You're not going to eat your dessert?
- Eh, I'm too full of pure protein for that stuff. Do me a favor and eat it for me, yeah?
- === Constance/Edelgard ===
- Constance, do you think you'll be able to work in your...present condition?
- Let us hope that I prove no barrier to accomplishing our given task.
- Hm. Indeed. Let's just get through this as best we can, shall we?
- A matchless accomplishment, yes? Take note, your Highness! *laugh*
- You're most fascinating. With that attitude, I feel confident your house will be restored in no time.
- This isn't indicative of my true capabilities. It so happens that I was somewhat off form today.
- I am well aware of your capabilities, so perhaps you could refrain from using your magic...at least while we're indoors.
- One more failure could mean utter ruin for House Nuvelle...
- That is utterly ridiculous. One small assignment cannot affect your fate to such a degree.
- It is kind of you to say so. It does nothing for my house, but...it helps me a small bit.
- We've done it, your Majesty! Our strengths mesh quite well together.
- Agreed. Perhaps we bring out the best in each other.
- You must promise to stay strong, Constance. We worked hard, and we should be proud.
- I need no consolation, your Majesty. Though I can feel my house's fortunes slip through my fingers...
- Dear me, there is a stain on your Highness's dish! Hmm. The plating hasn't survived on mine, either.
- I appreciate your concern, but this isn't the place for such formality. We must make allowances for the dining hall, don't you think?
- Five years in, and I still marvel at how people from every walk of life can dine peacefully together here. Truly miraculous, don't you think?
- It is indeed. It helps your Majesty to seem not so high above the rest of the populace.
- === Constance/Mercedes ===
- I couldn't bear to inconvenience you, Mercedes. The mere thought of it leaves me weak-kneed.
- Are you feeling all right, Constance? If not, perhaps you'd better rest a bit...
- Nonsense. Consider me a beast of burden, existing only to toil at your command.
- *laugh* We've worked hard and finished our task quickly. It feels wonderful!
- *laugh* The task posed no challenge at all between the two of us.
- This was...not up to my usual standard. There must be some mistake! It's unbecoming!
- Please don't worry yourself! Your face is too lovely to mar with a frown.
- You always try so hard. This time, it's my turn to pull us through!
- Incorrect. It is my turn. And it shall be my turn next time as well. Find some shade to rest in, hmm?
- Oh no, that just won't do! It will be much better if we work together.
- *laugh* Observe, Professor! Who but we two could come close to such results?
- We finished our work so quickly today! It's all thanks to Constance, I'm sure of it.
- Oh, if only I had tried even harder! Next time, I promise I won't let you down.
- I loathe being this millstone around her neck... I must work harder to ensure it never happens again!
- I have a lovely idea! How about I invite another friend next time so that the four of us can enjoy each other's company?
- O-of course! That sounds delightful, and not the least bit likely to cause anxiety!
- Constance... Am I mistaken, or were you somewhat averse to vegetables in the past?
- Mercedes! Shush! Keep these embarrassments to yourself while there are others present.
- === Balthus/Yuri ===
- Heh, looks like it's up to the two of us. Feelin' pretty good about our odds, Boss.
- We do make a fine pair, don't we? Upshot for me: you can tackle all the heavy lifting so I don't have to.
- Ha! Perfect. I'll leave all of that other nonsense to you, then.
- Not bad, Yuri. Not bad at all.
- Couldn't agree more. We complement one another nicely. Here's to hoping we're paired together again.
- Not great, but not awful. Perfectly mediocre...
- Gah, this is awful. I want to either succeed wildly or fail spectacularly. How unsatisfying!
- All right, let's do this. These tasks will be a breeze, being paired with you.
- Back at ya, pal. Hard labor goes by quicker when you like the person you're working with.
- Come on, Boss. Let's kill this task and show everyone what we're made of!
- You're not bad, you know that, Balthus? You make even the most mundane of tasks enjoyable.
- Heh, glad to hear it. That was so fun, I don't even mind that I broke a sweat free of charge.
- That wasn't awful, but it wasn't great, either. Gah, how unsatisfying.
- We need to figure out where things went south. Let's have a chat about it later, yeah?
- *laughs* Watching you eat is always entertaining. Just look at you go!
- Heh, it takes a lot of fuel to keep the Insatiable King of Grappling at the top of his game!
- Hot damn, it's been too long since I've finagled a meal like this. What could be better?
- Lose another bet? That might be a silly question. You just seem more enthusiastic than usual about your food.
- A vision of nobles picking weeds alongside the commoners—pretty damn amusing, isn't it? *laughs*
- Sure, but all I can think about is how ripped my abs are going to be tomorrow. This is good training for heavy armor as well.
- Right. I'm sure it's great for that.
- I'll help out for a bit, and then I'll get to work on writing the report.
- Back it up, pal. There won't be any slacking off unless we both get in on the action.
- I was doing it for you, Balthus. Unless you want to sit at a desk and do some writing?
- === Linhard/Hapi ===
- I heard a rumor about you. I wonder if there's any truth to it...
- Which one? You can't believe everything you hear.
- If you say so. For now, let's just finish up so I can get back to my nap.
- Our hearts weren't really in that one, but we still pulled it off well enough. Don't you think?
- You wouldn't stop staring at me, so I was in a rush to get it over with as quickly as possible.
- Linny, why did you keep staring at me? That really got on my nerves.
- Oh, it's nothing. I just couldn't stop thinking about that rumor I heard. I'll watch you in secret next time.
- If you get tired, feel free to take a break. Maybe we can take turns or something.
- Wow, that's nice of you. You'd do that for me, huh?
- Nah, I'm thinking of myself. I don't feel like facing off with a demonic beast today.
- Gotta say, Linny did a good job. It all went pretty smoothly thanks to him.
- *yawn* I'm just glad it's over. If I don't get to sleep soon, I'm going to die.
- I'd say these results are...acceptable. You can't say we didn't try our hardest.
- I'm not that disappointed. There's no need to be so patronizing.
- Let's wrap this up quickly so that we can get back down there. I want to find the book today.
- Rushing doesn't help anyone. If we're stuck doing this, we'd better at least be deliberate.
- Lives are in the balance here. Show a little initiative for once.
- That was kinda perfect. We work well together.
- We've been working way too hard lately. Don't you think?
- Research shows that the harder people work, the less efficient they are. *yawn* In that spirit, I'm overdue for a nap.
- Hey, we're in the middle of explaining... Oh, fine. I guess you got the gist.
- === Ashe(?)/Hapi ===
- Are there any foods you particularly dislike, Hapi? Anything on today's meal, for instance?
- Nope. But also, none of your business.
