Ignatz & Lysithea B

Lysithea
Oh, hey. It's you. Going for a walk again today?

Ignatz
No, I'm on cooking duty today, and I have to head into town for some groceries.

Lysithea
All on your own? Hm, I'd better go with you. I'd be worried if you went by yourself.

Ignatz
No, please! I can manage on my own.

Lysithea
But won't you have a hard time carrying everything back?

Ignatz
Not at all. I'll be fine. I'm just replacing a few ingredients.

Ignatz
Also, I may not look it, but I'm actually quite strong. I've been exercising every day!

Lysithea
If you start fumbling around under the weight of all the groceries, and then you trip and spill everything everywhere...

Lysithea
Look, I'm just saying, that could be your future. It could happen. It doesn't look pretty.

Ignatz
That's what you think of me, huh?

Lysithea
Yep. You're honestly a bit of a mess.

Ignatz
I see. If that's how you feel...

Lysithea
Oh, knock it off with the wounded puppy-dog eyes!

Lysithea
As though I'm some sort of villain in your story...

Ignatz
I'm sorry. That wasn't my intention.

Ignatz
I'm just a bit sensitive, that's all. You're talking like you don't respect me.

Lysithea
I see. So now it's my fault?

Lysithea
No matter how grown you seem to think you are, there's so much you're incapable of.

Lysithea
You can play at being a mature adult, but it only ever complicates things. And that's exactly what makes you look like a child.

Ignatz
Oh, enough already! Would you just leave me alone?!

Lysithea
Maybe I...went a bit far that time...

Lysithea
But he's so stubborn despite his ineptitude. I can't just leave it be.

Lysithea
He's so foolish—constantly making a mess of things. Wait... But then...

Ignatz
No matter how much we stretch, some things are always beyond us. I think it's fine to be vulnerable and ask for help sometimes.

Lysithea
What he said to me before...

Lysithea
To everyone else, do I seem just like Ignatz?
