Cherche
Oh, this one is cute! Er, then again, maybe not. Hmm, this one has some nice horns, but I think it's the wrong type for Minerva. Dear me, this is harder than I expected.

Robin
Cherche? What are you up to?

Cherche
Ah, perfect timing, Robin. I want to ask you something.

Robin
What about?

Cherche
Among your many friends, are there any particularly beautiful wyverns?

Robin
...Did you just ask if I have good-looking wyvern friends?

Cherche
Well, it was worth a shot. I'm looking for a partner for Minerva. I must have searched through dozens of portraits and letters of introduction. And yet, not a single one has been up to Minerva's very exacting standards.

Robin
Minerva? That massive thing you ride into battle? I, er, didn't know that anyone offered match-making services for wyverns.

Cherche
No one does! That's what is making this so very difficult. I've been doing everything all on my own so far...

Robin
Impressive. You're breaking new ground in wyvern relations.

Cherche
It's a giant leap for mankind and wyvernkind alike, I'll wager. ...Want to pitch in?

Robin
Well, if you think I can help! Ha ha ha...ha? Wait... You were being serious?

Cherche
Did you hear that, Minerva? Robin is going to help us!

>Minerva roars

Cherche
Oh, look how happy you've made Minerva!

Robin
That bloodcurdling sound was happiness?!

B Support

Robin
I've assembled an extensive dossier on prospective wyvern mates, Cherche. ...I can't believe I just said that.

Cherche
Oh, thank you! This is so exciting! Let's see what you have.

Robin
Here you go.

Cherche
Ah, you've included oil portraits of all the wyverns! What a nice touch. Hmm...no. ...No. ...Nope. ...Ugh, not a chance. ...No. ...Aaand, no. Um, Robin? Did you know that these are all female wyverns?

Robin
Er, right. Is that a problem?

Cherche
Minerva is a girl. ...Who likes boys.

Robin
He is? ...I m-mean, she is?!

Cherche
Yes, SHE is! ...It's perfectly obvious if you just bother to look.

Robin
(Why in blazes would I ever be looking at—)

Cherche
I'm sorry? I didn't quite catch that.

Robin
J-just scolding myself for making such an obvious blunder! Ha ha! ...Ha. Well, I guess I'll be starting over then.

Cherche
You can probably tell just by looking at her, but Minerva is VERY picky. So do make sure that you bring her only the most handsome candidates.

Robin
...You do realize that I have no concept of what makes a wyvern handsome, right?

Cherche
The shape and length of his horns, the shine of his scales, and the length of his wings. Also consider overall musculature, roar volume, and fire-breath heat. ...Oh, and if he happens to be rich, so much the better.

Robin
Oh, you have GOT to be joking!

A Support

Robin
Cherche, I believe I've found the perfect wyvern for Minerva! Here, look at this... ...Well? What do you think? Not bad, eh?

Cherche
If this oil painting is accurate, he appears absolutely perfect! Look, Minerva! What do you think? Isn't he terribly handsome?

>Minerva roars

Cherche
Oh, she definitely likes him.

Robin
Thank heavens! I was just about at the end of my rope with all this wyvern business...

Cherche
Thank you, Robin. We both appreciate everything you've done for us. You are truly too kind.

Robin
Well, if I do succeed, I imagine my name will go down in the history books.

Cherche
As the first-ever chaperone for a wyvern blind date? Oh yes. I wager you'll be famous for centuries.

Robin
...Wait. I'M not going to be there when they meet! That's absurd! I've never even matched up people, let alone giant reptiles!

Cherche
Oh, you're a quick study. I'm sure it will all go swimmingly.

Robin
I'm not!

Cherche
If it makes you feel better, I'll be there as well. I'm very familiar with the nitty-gritty of wyvern romance.

Robin
No, knowing you are familiar with wyvern romance does NOT make me feel better! Besides, why don't you just take over from here and enjoy all the glory? I mean, I'm just blundering around in the dark, and frankly—

>Minerva roars

Robin
WAAAAAAH! WH-WHAT WAS THAT?! MY EARS ARE RINGING! HELLO?! CAN YOU HEAR ME?! WAS THAT A CRY OF HAPPINESS OR INSANE RAGE?!

Cherche
Rage. ...She's concerned you might abandon the project.

Robin
BRANDON THE REJECT?! WHO?!

Cherche
She seems sure that you are the key to all of this working.

Robin
A BEE IS LURKING?! I CAN'T... WAIT, HOLD ON! *sniiiiiiff* ...Oh, gods, that's better. My ears just popped. But look, I still have no idea what I'm actually doing... *Sigh* Aw, heck. I started this. I suppose I might as well see it through to the end.

Cherche
Oh, I'm so glad to hear you say that! And so is Minerva. Aren't you, Minerva?

>Minerva roars

Robin
WAAAH GODS! NOT AGAIN!

S Support

Cherche
Oh, Robin, I'm sorry Minerva's date didn't work out so well... Especially after you went to all that trouble. He was such a fine-looking wyvern, too—I truly thought Minerva would take to him.

Robin
I wasn't sure what I was in for, honestly, but I certainly didn't expect them to fight! They would have burned down the entire village if you hadn't intervened!

Cherche
They just needed a good scolding to get them to settle down.

Robin
*Sigh* I suppose it's back to square one again then, eh?

Cherche
Actually, I'm starting to think Minerva is simply too old for marriage now. I suppose we'll both just be a couple of old maids until the ends of our days.

Robin
Have you ever...looked for a husband?

Cherche
Oh, sure. But it never really worked out for one reason or another. Well, actually, it usually didn't work because of Minerva. She tends to scare people off. A couple men even asked me to leave her for them, but I couldn't do it. I guess a wife with a wyvern just isn't an enticing prospect...

Robin
Then Minerva has my eternal gratitude.

Cherche
...What do you mean?

Robin
She chased away my rivals. Thanks to her, I get to be the one to give you this.

Cherche
A ring? An...engagement ring?

Robin
Cherche, all of this matchmaking has made me think about my own prospects. And also it's made me think of you and...how much I love you. I swear I will look after you and Minerva till the end of our days. ...Will you marry me?

Cherche
Why, Robin! Th-this is so surprising! I accept! Oh, I gladly accept!

Robin
I won't let you down, Cherche. You or Minerva. I promise!

Cherche
It's funny how this all started with me trying to find a mate for Minerva. And now she's still alone, but I managed to find a man of my own!

Robin
I'd call that a happy twist of fate! Heh heh, no offense, Minerva. ...What, Minerva? What is that look? Wait, not the fire breath! I didn't mean it!

[Confession CG scene]
It's funny. Being close like this just feels...right. It's as if it was always meant to be.
