By the way, have you chosen our house's representative for the White Heron Cup?

If nobody else comes to mind, I'm willing to take up the challenge, Professor.

Byleth & Dimitri

I... I'm sorry. Please ignore my troubled ramblings. Was something the matter? Something to do with the White Heron Cup?

Professor, I beg of you. Please, do not choose me as our house representative. I am utterly serious.

Byleth & Claude

Considering this recent rash of strange incidents, I wonder if having a ball is really the best idea...

And then there's the White Heron Cup. Sheesh. What poor sap are you enlisting to represent our house, Teach?

(Should I choose Linhardt as our house representative in the White Heron Cup dance contest...)
Byleth & Caspar

Ugh. Sorry about that, Professor. I'm just so frustrated right now. I need something to take my mind off things.

That reminds me! If you're looking for a volunteer, I'd be happy to represent our class in the White Heron Cup. I'm an excellent dancer.

Byleth & Dorothea

I'm sorry, Professor. I'm talking about such grim and terrible things when we could be talking about the White Heron Cup.

It's a big dance contest between the classes, and I simply adore dancing. I'm quite good at it, since I was a diva in an opera company, you know.

Byleth & Ashe

But speaking of the ball, isn't there something happening just before it? The White...Heron... something?

It sounds like every class needs a representative. Have you picked ours yet?

(Should I choose Ingrid as our house representative in the White Heron Cup dance contest...)
Byleth & Lorenz

From what I hear, the White Heron Cup will be held just prior to the ball.

If you have yet to choose a representative, do you mind terribly if I volunteer?

(Should I choose Flayn as our house representative in the White Heron Cup dance contest...)
Edelgard


I can't help but worry something might happen while we're all distracted... After all, our enemies are always plotting.

Still, this air of levity is much more agreeable than the grim atmosphere of late.

I am in the thick of battle, so battle I must. Will you help me prepare, Professor?

How...was that? I perhaps did not offend as much as usual, but...I do not like our chances.

It was solely thanks to your patient instruction that we won, Professor. In all honestly, I'm still in a state of shock.

I knew it was beyond my reach. I am so sorry that I let us down, Professor...

Teach, this is all your doing. Step up and take responsibility. You've got to help me practice my dance moves.

My legs aren't as unwieldy as they were before, I think... If I keep this up, I might do not terribly.

Wow, I never thought I'd win a dance competition. I've clearly uncovered a hidden talent!

Well, at least you can't say it's unexpected. You're a brilliant strategist, Teach, but you really have no eye for dancing talent.

Hubert

On a lighter note. I've heard you've yet to choose a class representative for the White Heron Cup.

To think I'd be rehearsing my dance moves, of all things. Give me some advice, Professor.
Ferdinand

Ah, the ball. It reminds me of my first such event, back in the Imperial capital.

It was held by my father, the prime minister. I really showed off my dancing skills! Everyone was quite impressed with me.

Professor, uh... Do you know how to dance? I could really use some guidance.

You really can do everything! I am envious of you, if you will pardon my frankness.

I thought this might happen. I am sorry I volunteered in the first place. You should have chosen Edelgard.

Linhardt

You know, Professor, I used to think I would be comfortable with all manner of experiments, so long as they provided usable results.

But when I heard of Solon's work, well, I realized I'd not considered the moral and philosophical limits of what "all manner of experiments" might mean.

Urk... Sorry. I'm not great with blood, even when I'm just thinking about it. I feel a bit ill now.

Let us change the subject and settle my stomach. I assume you've heard about the dance competition?


I don't enjoy a bit of this, you know. Entirely too much standing up and moving around for my taste. But if I'm going to do it, I may as well be in it to win.

I see... Well, that's just fine by me. There's a book on fishing that I'd like to finish.

Although I was against the whole endeavor, I must be honest and say that I am quite pleased that I won. But I won't do anything like this again, thank you.

I suspected this might be the end result. Uh... All that time I could have been reading...or fishing... or napping...or...

I wonder if Remire Village will ever be the same again. How do you recover from such a terrible event?

So many dead, so much destroyed... I can't see how the whole village doesn't just end up abandoned.

Our class was also sent out to help put the village in order. But then...

Hey, Professor. You're here to help me practice for the dance contest?

How was that? Was my dancing everything you hoped for and more? I certainly enjoyed it. We simply must do it again. Soon.

We did it! I couldn't be happier, Professor. I loved dancing in front of an audience again.

Ugh. What a letdown... I'm gonna go find a hole to hide in and not come out for a few weeks.

Petra

Dancing of Fódlan is not the same as dancing from Brigid. The reason is maybe that the music has many differences.

In Brigid, dancing is different for each person. Our dancing has vigor and ferocity. There is no speech of technique for our dancing.

I really won?! I can't believe it! Oh, Lonato, I wish you could have seen me!

I definitely wasn't cut out for this. I'm so sorry to let you down, Professor.

Yeesh... I really thought I could pull it off. Maybe it was a lack of practice...

Ah. The long-awaited ball. Finally, an opportunity to showcase my exquisite skills on the dance floor.

These skills were ingrained in me when I was a boy. My hands and feet move on pure instinct.

Well, Professor? Are these not the most exquisitely refined moves you have ever witnessed?

It was a foregone conclusion! Am I or am I not Lorenz Hellman Gloucester?

To think I would suffer such a defeat at dancing. My father is liable to disinherit me.

It's true that Tomas was employed here under the recommendation of House Ordelia.

But that's all I know of the topic. I'd never even seen him prior to enrolling here.

Did you need something, Professor? I suppose I should p-practice, right?

I...I still can't believe it. How could someone like me have possibly won?

I'm sorry that I couldn't do better. I doubt you had high expectations anyway...
Hilda

You're choosing the representative for the dance contest, isn't that right? Choose me! I'm a pro!

Professor, I did it! I'm so happy I think I may literally start to glow!
Leonie

I'm glad the Remire Village situation got sorted out. But it's not over yet, is it?

I'm going to have to do this in front of a crowd? I can feel myself going pale already.

Seriously? I won? Maybe I should drop the mercenary idea and take up a life of dancing!

Aw, just when I started to think I had a chance. Dancing turned out to be pretty fun, once I tried it.

I'm glad the Remire Village situation got sorted out. But it's not over yet, is it?

And I can't believe old Tomas turned out to be an enemy. Who can you trust anymore?

Hello, Professor! The ball will soon be upon us. Ah, I can feel my heart fluttering already!

Yes? Do you need me for anything, Professor? I would be happy for some dancing guidance, should you have any!

Oh no... We lost. I do hope I made good progress with my dance technique though.

Why, 995 years ago as a matter of fact. That's rather a long time ago, don't you think?

Every year, a ball is held to celebrate the founding. And every one hundred years, a very special celebration takes place.

It's a grand festival, involving all of Garreg Mach. It is thrilling to read of past festivals, and I'm rather excited to experience one for myself.

Once in a lifetime, eh? The next one, in five years, will mark a millennium. Should be quite an event. Do you imagine you'll still be here teaching then?

I can't bear it. Young love is wasted on the young. They can't appreciate it to its fullest! Ugh, I wish I could fall in love too...

Oh! Speaking of the ball, Professor, have you selected your representative for the dance contest yet?

If you don't, the contest will go on without your house. And that would be...embarrassing.

I hear you've chosen your representative for the White Heron Cup. In that case, a word of advice.
