Ingrid, Seteth enter the scene

Seteth! Do you have a moment?
link
Seteth

Certainly. Have you arrived at a decision about what you would like your future to be?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I think so. I was hoping I might ask for your opinion on the subject.
link
Seteth
volume_up

I am flattered. Please proceed.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I want to serve as a knight and protect my homeland.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I know this, through and through. It has been my truth for as long as I can remember.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

However, I feel that I should choose a path that would benefit my father.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I was raised by him in a happy home, never wanting for anything, despite my family's meager finances. I owe it to him to choose a path he'd approve of.

Seteth

If that is the decision you have reached after such careful deliberation, then I have no objections.
link
Seteth
volume_up

But may I ask you something?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Please, go ahead.
link
Seteth

Have you actually had a conversation with your father about this?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I have not. There hasn't been time to pay him a visit.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

He did permit me to join this war...
link
Ingrid
volume_up

But I was brash about my departure. I...I left forcibly.
link
Seteth
volume_up

In that case, it is all the more important that you speak to him.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Perhaps. My father is an obstinate man. At this point, I'm not sure he'd care to hear what I have to say.
link
Seteth
volume_up

I do not know the man well, so perhaps it is not my place to judge.
link
Seteth
volume_up

However, I do know what it is like to fret constantly over one's family.
link
Seteth
volume_up

If he is as doting a father as you say, then he will want to know how you truly feel.
link
Seteth
volume_up

I do not think he will refuse your wishes if you share them with him honestly.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Of course, if your decision remains the same after speaking with him, then so be it.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Seteth... Thank you.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

You're right. I should talk to him.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I've spent so much time thinking about how stubborn he is that I've neglected to acknowledge my own part in all this.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Rather than blaming him, I need to recognize how stubborn I myself have been. Maybe if I open up and allow for vulnerability, he will too...
link
Seteth
volume_up

That is the way! Hold your head up high, and stride forward into the unknown!
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I will!
link
Ingrid

And I will keep your words close to my heart. Thank you for everything, Seteth.
