Script

Brighid

Hey, Pandoria. Zeke's a rather unlucky guy, is he not?
Isn't it difficult, being his partner?

Pandoria

Oh, yes. That Prince of mine, he's unlucky like you wouldn't believe.
If there was an All-Alrest Unluckiness Championship, he'd win every time.

Dromarch

From the incidents I've witnessed alone, he's already been chased by rolling rocks, fallen off cliffs...
He even fell into the Cloud Sea once, as I recall.

Pandoria

Haha, you ain't seen the half of it.
When he's walking in the harbor, he's always getting bitten or smacked round the face by the Titan ships.
Oh, this one time, he got caught in a blizzard, took shelter in a cave, and wound up surrounded by 100 Ignas!
Ahaha! I could keep going for hours.

Dromarch

Well, I don't quite know how to react.
Frankly, I'm impressed you're both still alive.

Brighid

Yes, congratulations on surviving. Or should I say, my condolences?

Pandoria

Too far, Brighid. Too far.
Still, I gotta admit keeping an eye on my Prince is a full-time job.
You should try it yourself some time. He drives me crazy.

Brighid

How shall I respond?

Brighid

But you love him all the same, yes?

Trust +200, Trust +200

Pandoria

Love?! Where the hell'd you pull THAT one out of? Eheheh...

Dromarch

Ah yes, I see. You pretend to dislike him while secretly harboring feelings.

Brighid

Maybe it's time you should be more honest with yourself?

Pandoria

Oh, for the...you've got to be kidding me! You couldn't be more wrong!

Brighid

There's no need to be shy, my dear.
As a fellow Blade, I'll be happy to keep this just between us.

Dromarch

Quite so. We will keep your little secret from your beloved Prince until such time as you see fit.

Pandoria

I'm trying to tell you, it's not like that!

Brighid

Oh, you're so cute when you get embarassed.

Dromarch

Hmhm! I quite agree...

Pandoria

Hey! Stop that! Don't you give me that knowing smile!
Ughhhh, curse you, my Prince, and your unlucky nature!

Brighid

You sound almost like his mother.

Trust +200, Trust +100, Trust +100

Pandoria

Oh yes, he's such a frightful little sonny Jim...
...Wait, who're you calling his mom?!
At least go for his big sister or something!

Dromarch

Ah, what a comeback! What impeccable comedic delivery!

Pandoria

Haha, you like it? You've gotta have a sharp wit when you're dealing with that guy.
But comedy aside... It all comes back to his blasted bad luck.
If you had to deal with some of the stuff I've been through, you'd be worrying like an old maid, too.
When it really counts, he can be a proper hero, but the rest of the time... I just don't know what to do with him.

Brighid

It wouldn't be Zeke without a little bad luck, though, would it?

Dromarch

I quite agree. It's an integral part of his identity!

Pandoria

Yep...and ain't that just the worst thing?
*sigh* The things I put up with for my Prince...
