He has much concentration right now. I will wait for him to be finished reading.

Mm hmm...

Ferdinand

Diplomacy has an effect upon weapons development. Yes... That makes sense.

Ferdinand

Oh! Petra! How long have you been there?
link
Petra
volume_up

A short time. You were devoting all of your attention to that book.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Forgive me. I was fully absorbed in my reading.

Ferdinand

I see you have been reading as well. Anything interesting?

Petra

I am studying the history of Fódlan.

Ferdinand
volume_up

A history book! What a keen student you are. And it's about House Hresvelg. Certainly a stimulating topic.

Petra

I am wishing to learn all about Fódlan. What is the book you are reading?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Oh, this? This relates to a little hobby of mine—the regional history of weapons development in Fódlan.

Ferdinand
volume_up

Militaries have to adapt their weapons according to terrain and climate, and they have to keep up with technologies in other regions. It's very interesting.
link
Petra
volume_up

Yes, it is interesting. I see why you would be enjoying that kind of reading.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Oh, does that excite your curiosity too? Perhaps you would care to read more about it, then.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

This is just one of 18 volumes. And our library has the entire collection!
link
Petra
volume_up

I give you my gratitude. Research of weapons could be a good reference for me.
link
Petra
volume_up

Oh, please take my apologies. I was meaning to tell you that our professor is wanting to see you.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Oh! It is not like you to forget something. I suppose I ought to be going, then.

Yes, it is a rarity that I forget something. But it is not impossible.
