Marianne & Leonie C

Leonie
Hey, Marianne! What are you up to?

Marianne
Ah! N-nothing.

Leonie
Really? I was sure I heard you talking to someone.

Marianne
...

Leonie
By the way, are you free right now?

Marianne
Is there something you need?

Leonie
I was about to go buy towels and soap, but the girls saddled me with all these specific requests.

Leonie
They want it all to look cute, or to smell a certain way, but all that's just nonsense to me.

Leonie
I've always made my own towels out of old scraps, and soap from used cooking oil. I've never given it much thought beyond that.

Marianne
Oh...

Leonie
But I've noticed you've got some really nice things. So, you have an eye for that stuff, right?

Leonie
Obviously I'd give you all the credit. And I'm sure everyone would be really grateful for your help.

Marianne
No, no. I don't deserve that kind of praise.

Leonie
Really? I don't think that's true. Come on, you'll be doing me a big favor.

Marianne
My adoptive father tells me I shouldn't stray too far from the monastery.

Leonie
That's nonsense! You've got to get some fresh air now and again.

Marianne
I should stay. Besides, I wouldn't be much help.

Marianne
I don't think anyone would like whatever I pick out anyway. It would all go to waste.

Marianne
And I'm sure that having me around would just cause you misfortune, Leonie.

Leonie
Are you serious?

Marianne
I should stay here by myself...

Leonie
Now hold on just a second.

Leonie
You'll cause me misfortune? What kind of backwards talk is that?!

Leonie
If you really don't want me around, then at least come out and say it straight!

Leonie
I'm sorry for the unwelcome invitation. Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake again.
