Midori: [smile] Father?
[knocking SFX]
Midori: [smile, sweat] Father?
Midori: [smile, closed eyes] Faaaatherrrr~~, you’ve fallen asleep in your study again!
[Xander appears]
Xander: [injured, sweat] I wasn’t sleeping, Midori.
Midori: [smile] There’s a crease across your cheek from the book.
Xander: [sweat] What can I do for you so early this morning?
Midori: [smile] I’ve got a new medicine I want you to try!
Xander: [confused] But I’m not unwell.
Midori: Nope, this is to keep you from getting unwell!
Midori: [sweat, frown] (Because I know it’s way too much to hope for that you’d just sleep like a normal person.)
Midori: [smile] A glass of this every day and you’ll be right as rain!
Xander: [smile, sweat] And that scent is normal?
Midori: Yep! Don’t worry, it tastes better than it smells. It’s berry-flavoured!
Xander: [sweat] Berries, hmm?
Xander: [eyes closed] *gulp* !!
Xander: [injured] That’s quite an aftertaste.
Xander: [smile, sweat] I look forward to its effect.
Midori: [smile, closed eyes] Well, it’s not going to do much unless you drink the whole glass!
Xander: [injured, sweat] O-of course…

Midori: [smile] Good morning, Father! You’re looking well this morning.
Xander: [smile] And I’ve you to thank for it. Your elixir was even more effective than I expected.
Xander: I’ve felt better these last few days than in a long time.
Midori: [smile] Yay, I’m so glad!
Xander: [smile] You’re a truly talented apothecary.
Xander: I wonder… how would you feel about formal study?
Midori: [surprised] Study?
Xander: Mm. The city of Macareth, on Nohr’s east, is renowned for its healers and apothecaries.
Xander: The medicinal colleges there take in only the most promising students from across the world. Their libraries are stocked with compendiums of every conceivable reagent.
Midori: [surprised] Y-you think I could really qualify?
Xander: [smile] I’m certain. There would be much you could learn from one another.
Xander: I wanted to speak to you before making inquiries, to make sure it was what you wanted.
Midori: [smile] Being able to study with those resources... I could really help people, couldn’t I?
Midori: And with those kinds of resources, I could make medicine on a massive scale…
Midori: [smile] F-Father, I’d love to! Please!
Xander: [smile] I’ll pen a letter immediately.
Xander: I’m proud of you, Midori.
Midori: [blush] Thanks, Father…

[pottery smash SFX]
Midori: [pout] Argh, again!
Midori: [sad] *sigh* I just can’t concentrate.
Xander: Are you okay, Midori?
Midori: [sad] Father, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to disturb you!
Xander: What’s wrong? You’re not your usual bright self.
Midori: I’ve been thinking about Macareth, and…
Midori: [upset] I’m so selfish!
Xander: What do you mean?
Midori: [upset] I could help people by going there! It’s an amazing chance! But-
Midori: But I-
Midori: [crying] I don’t wanna leave you and Daddy!
Midori: W-we’re only just spending time together after so long, and every time I think about going away, I just can’t stand it!
Midori: I’m sorry!
Xander: [surprised] Midori…
Xander: [eyes closed, smile] Shhh, it’s okay. Let it out.
Xander: I’m sorry we left you alone for so long. We never meant for you to be so lonely.
Xander: Macareth will still be there in one year or ten year’s time.
Midori: *sniffle* F-father…
Xander: We’re already so proud of you, Midori. And you’re already helping many people here, myself included.
Xander: [smile, eyes closed] To tell you the truth, I’d rather have you by my side for a bit longer.
Midori: [sad] R-really?
Xander: [smile] Absolutely. Why don’t we go gather some herbs, just you and me?
Midori: [smile] I’d love that!
Xander: [smile] Then what are we waiting for?
