This is the only ball of the year, and I see why. Everyone is absurdly excited...

Dedue

Your Highness, you sound so detached. We are all encouraged to enjoy the ball tomorrow.

Dimitri
volume_up

Right you are. What a burden...

Felix
volume_up

Huh. I never thought we'd see eye to eye, but I agree.

Felix

I'd rather be swinging my blade than wasting my time with some girl at a ball.

Sylvain

Felix! Your Highness! You must be joking, right? This is our chance to dance with all of the ladies of the academy to our heart's content.

Sylvain

You wish to throw away the best day of the whole year for sword practice? Insanity, I tell you!

Ashe
volume_up

I'm pretty excited about the ball, myself. It's not like we get to do things like this very often.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Too true, Ashe. In fact, I'm gonna do you a favor and give you a crash course in chatting up girls. By tomorrow, you'll be an expert!

Ashe
volume_up

Actually I'd much prefer if someone could just teach me how to dance...
link
Ashe
volume_up

But there's so much to remember... Not just dancing, but ball etiquette too.

Annette
volume_up

Don't worry about the dancing part. I can teach you that, easy!

Mercedes
volume_up

It's time for the ball! That warrants at least a tiny bit of makeup, don't you think, Ingrid? Just a smidge?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I...hmm. Maybe. I'll think about it.
link
Annette
volume_up

It's settled! Tomorrow morning we'll meet up in Ingrid's room. Ooh, I can't wait!
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Hahaha.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

You know... There's no telling where life will take us after we leave here. If only we could find a way to come together again, just like this...
link
Dedue
volume_up

A fine notion, Your Highness. Perhaps five years from now?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Five years from now? Ah! That's when Garreg Mach Monastery will be holding its millennium festival.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

By then we'll be addressing Your Highness as Your Majesty instead!
link
Sylvain
volume_up

That's right. I suppose we all know it's coming, but by then you'll be far removed from us.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Come now. You know me better than that. My title may change, but I won't.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

And it won't just be me, you know. Five years from now, you'll all have your own stuffy positions to contend with.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Five years from now, we'll all have our own stuffy positions to contend with.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

But as I understand it, the festivities at the millennium festival will be of a scale far beyond anything we've yet seen...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

In other words, the perfect excuse for all of us to return here.
link
Annette
volume_up

Ooh, a reunion? That sounds fun! I wouldn't miss it for the world!
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I'd love for you to be there as well, Professor. After all, you're the heart of the Blue Lion House.

Gain support points with Dimitri
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Good. Then it's settled.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Of course...if something happens and I'm not able to attend, I'm leaving all of the logistics of organizing this reunion to you, Professor.
link
You have to attend.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

It's true! I'm sure being a king will keep you busy, but it's a bit early to be backing out of your own plans, don't you think?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Yes... I suppose you're right.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I'm sorry. You have my word. I will return as well. Count on it.
