Claude, Lysithea enter the scene

As you can see, if we were to face an enemy on this terrain, I would go here...and you would go here.

Hang on... If we're trying to repel the enemy, I should be positioned there, correct?

Huh? I'm not sure that's the best idea. Take a closer look at this map.

See, there's a graveyard over here. Might run into some of those ghosts you hate so much.

Claude! Will you knock it off already? So help me, if you continue treating me like a child, I'll—

Easy there! I'm sorry, OK? Just don't start blasting off any spells in here.

Hmph! I've more pride than to turn an unarmed soldier to cinders.

It wouldn't kill you to speak to me as an equal when we're discussing matters as serious as this!

Actually, I see you as more than an equal. There's no questioning the power you wield.

And I was being serious about the formation just now. The bit about the ghosts was just me having fun with you. Or...trying to?

You're so smart, I figured you'd catch on to that right away. But back to the formation... Can you see why I arranged it like I did?

Hmm...

The area I want you to guard requires the ability to adapt to an ever-changing situation.

Who else could I trust with such a difficult task? You're my best bet for something like that.

Perhaps that's true...

Think back to the times we've fought together. When have I ever treated you like a child on the battlefield?

I depend on you, Lysithea. I value your power almost as much as I do Teach's.

Truly?

I swear to you on all of Fódlan. I like to have my fun, but I wouldn't joke about something like that. I consider you a valued ally.

I'll stop now, before I inevitably drift back into teasing you again. Just know that I meant every word, OK?

Fair enough, then. From here forward, see to it that you treat me with the respect of an equal.

And... I admit that you are not short on talent yourself, but don't go getting a big head over it.
