Lysithea, do you have a moment? There is a matter of significance I'd like to discuss with you.

Lysithea

I know you're always seeking the attention of ladies, but why are you wasting your breath on me.

Lorenz

Don't be silly. I want to discuss the future of the Alliance. To have a constructive and candid exchange of opinion.

Lorenz

Don't be silly. I am here to discuss Fódlan's future.

I'm not so sure I'm the one being silly. Actually—I'm busy. Stuff to do.

Now, hold on just a moment! House Ordelia will never benefit from such a narrow-minded mentality!

Lysithea

I was under the impression you were interested in me as a person. What do house matters have to do with anything?

Lorenz

As it stands, the bonds between Alliance lords are quite weak. If this state of affairs persists, I am afraid those bonds may dissolve entirely.

Lorenz

The world is in ruins! Have you given no thought to how the Leicester Alliance might address this crisis?

Lysithea

I couldn't care less.

House Ordelia may be small, but a small house is fettered by fewer obligations than a larger one.

Lorenz

Apply yourselves actively in diplomacy, negotiate wisely, and you could do much to help maintain peace among the neighboring lords.

Lorenz

The recognition of those lords would benefit your house immensely.

Lorenz

To that end, why not start with me, the heir to House Gloucester? It couldn't hurt for us to become friends, could it?

Lysithea
volume_up

Yes, yes, of course. When the time comes. But right now, I'm quite busy. Maybe later.

Lysithea

As it is, I'm studying magic for the benefit of the Alliance, and I would appreciate it if you left me to it.

Lorenz

Ah. I see. Then forgive the intrusion. I will take my leave of you, for now.
link
Lorenz

But if there is any way I can be of help, to you or your house, I hope that you won't hesitate to ask.
link
Lorenz

After all, as I'm sure you know, the future of the Alliance is my responsibility!

After all, as I'm sure you know, the future of all Fódlan is my responsibility!

As though I have a future...
