- Frederick: Excuse me, milady...but are you doing your own laundry?
- Corrin: Yes, I thought I'd give it a try! ...It's not going very well.
- Frederick: Is that so? Here, let me have a look. So...with thick clothing, try folding it like this as you rinse.
- Corrin: Ahh...that works so much better! It's the first time I've done laundry, I'm afraid. I've always just left it to Flora or Felicia... Or Camilla, if she was visiting. But I thought I should take it upon myself to learn household basics like this.
- Frederick: I take it Flora and Felicia were your retainers?
- Corrin: Actually, they were primarily maids. Strictly speaking, Jakob was my retainer. And I've almost forgotten Gunter...a knight, and a mentor of sorts. ...Yeah. So you can see, I'd love to learn how to be a bit more independent.
- Frederick: Well, I'd be happy to share my knowledge with you, Princess Corrin.
- Corrin: Great! So, what's first?
- Frederick: Well...we could spend a bit more time mastering the art of laundry...
- Corrin: Oh, there's an art to it? Hah! Very well, teach me!
- Frederick: Certainly. Now, stain removal is a key skill for any wartime launderer. Begin by wetting the stain with water, and then pinch and rub it. Go on--give it a try.
- Corrin: Rub the stain with my finger...like this? It's not doing anything...
- Frederick: Try using your whole hand, like this. You see?
- Corrin: Hmm. It's harder than it looks. Like this?
- Frederick: Here, let me demonstrate once more. Like this.
- Corrin: Wow! It's already gone! Are you sure you're not using some kind of spell?
- Frederick: Would that I could. No, this is the result of ordinary practice.
- Corrin: All right, let me give it another try with this one. Oh, wait... You've already removed all the stains!
- Frederick: And thus concludes your lesson.
- Corrin: But, Frederick...you did it all yourself. I'm not sure I learned anything.
- Frederick: My apologies. The next time you need a stain removed, let's try again.
- Corrin: It's a deal. See you later, Frederick!
- Frederick: Erm, pardon me, milady, but you've piqued my curiosity. Tell me more of your retainers' duties.
- Corrin: Well, sure. What is it you'd like to know?
- Frederick: Anything. I may be able to teach you something that will surprise them.
- Corrin: Ha! Assuming I ever get the hang of your first lesson... But what am I saying? With you as a teacher, I know I'm in good hands. Thanks again, Frederick. I'm really lucky to have a friend like you.
- Frederick: It is my honor to serve you, milady. Now then, let's find something to stain this garment with, and resume our lesson.
