00:00I
00:07Do believe a nap is in order. Oh, this is lovely. I just feel that breeze
00:16Dorothea
00:17Whatever are you doing here? I was thinking of relaxing here
00:21But it looks as if someone else is lounging in my spot already
00:25Taking a nap in public like this
00:28Really Lin the nobles look down on such behavior. You do know I am of noble birth. Oh
00:37I'm sorry. I'm just teasing
00:39You never do act very noble though. Why is that?
00:43Each person must follow their own way. This is how I prefer to live
00:48Even if some of the more pretentious nobles like to poke fun at my ways
00:52Doesn't that bother you? I
00:55I mean really it doesn't hurt your pride or anything
00:59What use is pride? It doesn't feed nor clothe you it offers no warmth on a cold night
01:05First time I've heard a noble say something like that
01:08Well, most nobles are Oh, what is the polite way to say it?
01:13Fools. Yes, and they are fools
01:16As for myself, my father is the Minister of Domestic Affairs and he has pride enough for the both of us
01:24For example, did you know he and the Minister of Military Affairs cannot get along although they value each other greatly
01:31His pride gets in the way so he can't make amends
01:34That is why there is discord between civil ministers and military officers in the Empire
01:39And so pride serves no good purpose in politics either
01:43So tell me what use is it? I wonder if bad blood between civil and military leaders is somewhat unavoidable
01:51The Minister of Domestic Affairs is in charge of all civil officials
01:54So if they just given easily their subordinates would lose respect, right?
01:59I get the feeling that if your pride isn't equal to the responsibility you bear then you aren't fit to lead
02:06Also, I happen to think pride can be quite charming and how necessary is charm
02:12It just gets in the way of living your life if you lack charm. Nobody will give you a second glance
02:19Right, which means more time for napping Lin you can't really believe what you're saying, can you?
02:38How did you know Dorothea was an orphan I
02:42I hear she buttered up some noble and he enrolled her in the Academy. Does someone like that even belong here?
02:57I suggest ignoring them
03:01Lane don't scare me like that
03:04You seem less scared than surprised, but that's quibbling. I suppose as for those two gossips
03:11Unimportant I suggest forgetting all about them and their petty words
03:15Join me for a meal. I've been the target of a lot of gossip and eating generally makes me feel better
03:21Don't pretend we're the same
03:24If I could brush it off so easily I would it doesn't seem particularly difficult. Where's the problem? Is this about your pride?
03:33No, not even a little bit what then
03:40Lin please just go away. I
03:44Want to be alone right now?
03:46That's fine. But your life is your own business
03:50It's not something that can be affected by the petty words of a stranger. Ah, sorry. I kept talking didn't I I'll stop now
03:59Please do
04:11You
04:15Hmm where has it gone
04:19Lin you got a minute Oh
04:24Dorothea are you done being alone?
04:27Please don't say it like that. I
04:30Let the gossipers get to me and I snapped at you
04:35Can you forgive me you have my forgiveness although I remember no wrongdoing on your part, oh
04:42well
04:43Thank you, I guess
04:45So do you feel better?
04:48About the gossip
04:50Not even a little bit. I
04:52I
04:54Need someone to talk to and I figure it should be you. Oh
04:58Okay
05:00What is it about the things that those soldiers were saying
05:05The truth is I agree with them as selfish as I am. I curried favor with a noble so I could enroll here a
05:13Norphin like me here
05:16Crazy, right?
05:17Everyone else here is noble or rich or both. I
05:23Don't deserve any of this
05:26Honestly, I don't deserve to be here at all. I'm doing the best I can of course, but
05:31Sometimes I wonder if it's enough
05:34Dorothea if I may offer a bit of advice
05:37You have no reason to face anything. You do not wish to if the past distresses you then just let it go
05:43It's as simple as that, but it's my past
05:48You can't escape your past
05:50You've probably overcome a lot of tough times haven't you I think that's incredible really
05:55But why not just let go of the suffering and run away from the memories that cause you pain. I
06:01Suspect you'll find it a better way of living. I know I do
06:05That's not living Lin. It's running away
06:09If I leave my hardships behind then all of that means nothing
06:12Good point. Well said yet. I propose ignoring your past changes. Nothing of who you are today
06:20I see before me a great woman who should not be bothered by idle gossip
06:25Even if you dropped everything and took a nap for a thousand years, you would still be you
06:31What an example I
06:34Don't quite get it, but I am a bit envious of you
06:37Still I can't live the way you do
06:40At least try it go take a nap where a noble will see you give them something to talk about
06:46Ah
06:48Maybe I will
06:58Ah
07:03Here you are
07:05What's up, Lin come to invite me to dinner?
07:08Well that too, but first there is something I wish to say
07:12I believe I previously implied that it's okay to live out your days by running away from what troubles you and
07:19I think that I was unkind to you
07:22What are you talking about?
07:25To be honest while I try to be easygoing I currently feel a bit uneasy about something
07:32One of the effects of running away constantly is that eventually one runs out of places to well run
07:39Because I avoid memories I find unpleasant the number of things I avoid is forever increasing
07:45I've never learned to deal with the pain of my past so I can never increase my tolerance toward new pains and
07:54That's all but there are some nights where it really worries me
08:00That's what you wanted to say it'd be the same if you weren't avoiding things you'd just be up at night wondering what was coming
08:07Next Thank You Lin. I
08:10Appreciate you showing me a glimpse of your real self for the first time for the first time each time
08:16I speak I show my real self
08:19So what about that conversation we had which conversation?
08:25When you said I was a great woman
08:28Was that true of course you have too low an opinion of yourself. I thought you were just trying to make me feel better
08:37I didn't really think you looked at me that way Lin. Why is it so strange you seemed rather happy about it at the time
08:47It's not weird
08:50Okay, it's kind of weird
08:53You're weird Lin
08:55You know I'm hungry all of a sudden
08:58Maybe I laughed too much
09:00Good. I was going to invite you to dinner
09:04You were
09:07When I walked in you asked if I'd come to invite you to dinner
09:10I said yes, but I can't be bothered to walk into town
09:14Shall we visit the dining hall?
09:16What oh?
09:20Fine show me this easygoing way of yours
