Sylvain, Dedue enter the scene

Dedue, hey. Oh! I'm sorry. I hope I'm not bothering you. Looks like you're pretty deep in thought.
link
Dedue
volume_up

Does it?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I just wanted to stop by and ask... It was your turn to cook last night, yeah?
link
Dedue
volume_up

Uh, yes.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Well, it was great. I was wondering if you could give me some tips. You know, teach me how to cook.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I hear a girl loves a man who can cook.
link
Dedue
volume_up

Sylvain.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Yeah?
link
Dedue
volume_up

You are from Faerghus. You must understand how it appears for you to spend time with one from Duscur.
link
Dedue
volume_up

To be near me is to invite tedious misunderstanding.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Oh, please. I don't care who misunderstands what about me. I talk to who I want.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Besides, I believe the Duscur people are innocent.
link
Dedue
volume_up

You do?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Faerghus and Duscur have been friendly since, heck, forever.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

So why would our old friends from Duscur just up and assassinate our king? It doesn't make sense.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Sure, there are probably folks from Duscur who don't like Faerghus.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

But do I think there's enough of 'em to mount an attack and slaughter the king and his whole company of elite guards?
link
Dedue
volume_up

It is difficult to believe, considering the discrepancy in skill and number.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Right? At most, I can see a misguided group of people from Duscur conspiring with someone else who had plans to dethrone the king.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Maybe they were even lured into participating and used as scapegoats.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Regardless, it doesn't concern you or the rest of your people. A person can't be judged by the worst of their kind... Or where would any of us be?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Besides, people like to talk about me anyway. So let them talk.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

OK... You're making a weird face. What did I say?
link
Dedue
volume_up

I have misjudged you. I was under the impression you only cared about women.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Heh heh... Well, I'm glad I've cleared up that misunderstanding. But really, there's no way I'm the only person who figured all that out.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

There must be people who think like me in Fhirdiad, including His Highness.
link
Dedue
volume_up

Agreed.
link
Dedue
volume_up

But whatever the truth, we are still perceived as traitorous assassins.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Once a misunderstanding takes hold, it isn't easy to clear the air, not without solid evidence of the truth.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

But even if we found evidence that your people are innocent, those negative sentiments wouldn't disappear overnight.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

The only thing that can change that is time and effort. Depressing, isn't it?
link
Dedue
volume_up

Time and effort. Yes, I believe you're right.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Man, that got serious. Shouldn't we lighten things up with a nice cooking lesson?
link
Dedue
volume_up

Very well.
