Lute

Hm... I wonder if...
Oh, I see...▼

Artur

What are you doing, Lute?▼

Lute

Oh!▼
I was just observing this
chemida beetle.▼

Artur

You haven't changed at
all, have you, Lute?▼

Lute

What do you mean?▼

Artur

You spent most of your time sequestered
in your room, studying your books.▼
On the rare occasion you went outside,
you were paralyzed with fascination.▼

Lute

Of course! There are so many fascinating
things to be learned from nature!▼
There are a great many books out there,
and I have read most of them, of course.▼
But I've found that what is written can
differ greatly from how things truly are.▼
Take this chemida beetle, for example.▼
I've been reading from "The Glossary
of Falibrian Entomology" lately.▼
According to the glossary, their wings
fall off once they reach maturity.▼
However, I have just found an adult
beetle whose wings still work perfectly!▼
Exceptions do exist to the rules my
books outline. This is a rare specimen.▼
I wonder, should we take it back with us?▼

Artur

Sigh...▼
I hope this isn't another
of your pranks.▼

Lute

My...pranks?▼

Artur

Do you remember when I loaned
you my copy of "Lux Aeterna"?▼
You replaced my bookmark with
the tail of a sedgel lizard.▼
You scared ten years off my
life, I swear it!▼

Lute

Did I do that?▼

Artur

And! Knowing full well that I
have a...mild... fear of spiders,▼
you caught a small army of them
and unleashed them in my room!▼

Lute

I thought that if I immersed
you in the thing you feared,▼
maybe you might be able to
overcome your fear entirely!▼
And I went to a lot of trouble
trying to catch those spiders!▼

Artur

...Why would you do that?▼

Lute

Well, I did get a bit of a kick
out of the experience myself.▼
Why? Did it bother you?▼

Artur

YES! Oh, don't worry about it.▼
At least you did it because
you cared about me, right?▼
I'll just accept it as the best gesture
of kindness you can manage, Lute.▼

Support level B

Lute

Are you tired, Artur?▼

Artur

Huh...? Oh, no. I'm...
......▼
You're right.
I am tired.▼
How could you tell, Lute?▼
I was trying my best
not to show it.▼

Lute

Oh, come on! There's no one better
than me at spotting things like this!▼
I can tell, you're mentally exhausted.▼

Artur

I don't know what I expected, but...
I had no idea war would be like this.▼
One battle after another, overwhelming
odds...and monsters!?▼
In this day and age, we're fighting
monsters from legends and epics?▼
I know how much is at stake, but
sometimes...I get so tired.▼

Lute

When you're tired, there's nothing better
than a good meal and a long sleep.▼
And if you look at page 990 of "De
Floris Mysticis," there's a special▼
herb that, once decocted into a potion
will help relax your muscles.▼
Look for the parfina flower, and reduce
it into a thick syrup before drinking.▼
Oh, and I hear music helps you sleep.
If you like, I can hum something for you.▼

Artur

Thank you.▼
However, I think I'll pass on your offer,
delightful though your humming must be.▼
You must be tired as well. Take care
of yourself, and rest when you can.▼

Lute

I will.▼
In fact, maybe I'll just
hum to myself instead.▼
Will you be all right?▼

Artur

I'm fine. I feel quite
refreshed, in fact.▼

Lute

Refreshed? How so?
Was it some new kind of magic?▼

Artur

Perhaps, from a certain point of view.▼
Your every word has nutured my soul...▼

Lute

Hm.▼
I'm not sure I get it, but as
long as you're feeling better!▼

Support level A

Artur

Hello, Lute.▼

Lute

......▼

Artur

What is it? You look like you
have something on your mind.▼

Lute

Oh.▼
No. I was just thinking
about monsters.▼

Artur

Monsters?▼

Lute

Yes.▼
All these monsters are our enemies, I know,
but...they're not all bad, are they?▼

Artur

What are you talking about?▼

Lute

They're kind of cute, don't you think?
I mean, like those revenants, for example.▼

Artur

It's fair to say I will never
understand your tastes.▼
Besides, I thought you enjoyed
using them as, well, magic practice.▼

Lute

Oh, I do. I do indeed.▼
I use my magic to rip them to
shreds...with love, of course.▼

Artur

Your way of expressing love
is somewhat frightening...▼

Lute

Do you think so?
Thank you.▼

Artur

No... That wasn't a compliment.▼
...▼
Should I, ah, expect you to
attack me with magic, too?▼

Lute

Hm?▼
Why would I attack you
with my magic?▼

Artur

You don't get it?▼

Lute

No.▼
Your strange logic baffles even
my brilliant, brilliant mind.▼
That's why I'm curious.▼

Artur

Really? You don't get it?▼

Lute

No, I don't!▼

Artur

You really don't?▼

Lute

Stop that!▼

Artur

I'm just giving you a hard
time, Lute.▼
All right. I'll just come straight
out and say it.▼

Lute

Finally!▼

Artur

It's because I like you.▼

Lute

What!?▼

Artur

In fact, I love you, and I'm
hoping perhaps that you love me.▼

Lute

Oh!▼ Oh!!!▼

Artur

Now, do you understand?.

Lute

Er... Um... A-according to "A Young
Girl's Primer to Nazonian Magic,"▼
that most ancient tome long sought by, er,
the terrible Demon King himself...▼
it's not uncommon for a party to
assign feelings of...er, love▼
to the reanimated hordes they
confront on the battlefield,▼
and considering my incredible brain
and the remarkable skills I--▼

Artur

Lute?▼

Lute

Well, that is...
What I mean is...▼

Artur

What's wrong with you? I don't
often see you lose your cool.▼

Lute

Th-that's because...▼

Artur

Yes?▼

Lute

Well...▼
My books don't tell me anything
about how to deal with love!▼
So...▼

Artur

Heh... Heh heh heh...
Ha ha ha ha!!!▼

Lute

I'm sorry. I'm a little out of
my depth when it comes to love.▼

Artur

No, you're not.
Love needs no textbooks.▼
Just be yourself, and listen
to your feelings.▼

Lute

Is...that all I need to do?▼

Artur

I promise.▼

Lute

...
Er, excuse me...▼

Artur

Yes?▼

Lute

Well, er...▼

Artur

Yes?▼

Lute

I'm glad...you're here.▼

Artur

I am, too, Lute.▼
