Sylvain & Lysithea B

Lysithea
Sylvain, I've been looking for you. Do you have a moment?

Sylvain
Hey, Lysithea. I was about to grab some food. Would you like to come along?

Lysithea
Actually, yes. That sounds fine.

Sylvain
Great. Let's go.

Sylvain
Hmm... The dining hall isn't exactly relaxing, is it? If there's a next time, I'll take you somewhere with a much better atmosphere.

Lysithea
I don't really care about the atmosphere. I just wanted to apologize.

Sylvain
Nah, I get why you told me off. There's nothing you need to apologize for.

Lysithea
Ugh, can you just shut your mouth and listen for once?

Lysithea
Here's something you may have already picked up on... I very much dislike being treated like a child.

Lysithea
I've worked very hard to be where I am now, and such treatment makes it feel like all of that work is being ignored.

Sylvain
But I think you're a genius! And you work harder than I ever did. When I was your age...

Lysithea
Yes, you already told me all of this. Back then you were just as devoted to goofing off as you are now.

Sylvain
Ah, so I already told you that... What a perfect memory you have.

Lysithea
And there it is. You're always so quick to flatter every woman you come across.

Lysithea
I knew that, and yet I never thought you would direct your antics at me.

Sylvain
Heh... Look, I'm sorry, OK? I know how hard you work, and I really wasn't trying to upset you. I just wanted to chat.

Lysithea
I do not mind that you wished to chat with me. In fact...you might even say I was happy about it. Just a bit.

Sylvain
Seriously? It sure didn't seem that way...

Lysithea
Well, it's true. Your behavior is maddening, but in retrospect, I realize that was you treating me as you do all women, rather than like a child.

Lysithea
I wasn't thinking about it like that at the time, and so I snapped at you. I could have perhaps approached the matter with a tad more maturity.

Lysithea
Therefore, I would like to apologize.

Sylvain
An apology? That is not how these conversations usually turn out. There's no need for that though. Really, you'll make me blush if you keep this up.

Sylvain
Listen, Lysithea, I want you to know that I meant every word. Even if sincerity is...difficult for me.

Sylvain
You're as lovely as you are clever, and you have this strange charm about you. That's what I really, honestly think.

Lysithea
There you go again with your false flattery...

Sylvain
I swear to you, it isn't false at all! And it's not flattery if it's the truth.

Lysithea
Say what you will—you're still going to have to earn my trust.

Lysithea
Just this once, I'll cut you some slack. Don't get used to it.

Lysithea
It's not like I can change who you are as a person.

Sylvain
Sweet and tolerant! You never cease to amaze.

Lysithea
I'll leave you with this—don't say things you don't mean. It makes it impossible to tell the lies from the truth.

Lysithea
Don't come crying to me if you carry on as you have and end up with no friends.

Sylvain
Heh heh... I have to say, Lysithea, your harshness is one of those things I find so charming about you!

Lysithea
Ugh, you are exhausting. I guess the positivity is OK though.
